Sunday: Marussia puts their race result into perspective
Starting from the 20th and last place on the grid respectively, Timo Glock and Charles Pic finish towards the bottom of the standings once again in 18th and 19th positions. The team is content with reaching the finish without issues after battling with Caterham and HRT.
Timo Glock – 18th position:
After a relatively difficult week for the whole team, it was tricky to fully engage 100% in this weekend. However, we tried to do the maximum amount of work here, and to do it in the most professional manner. I think we can be proud of that!
The weekend had started poorly with rather chaotic weather conditions, and our results in qualifying were quite disappointing because we could have reached Q2.
We then prepared for the race by taking the rain into account, but the weather ultimately stayed the same and the track dry. It was very frustrating.
That’s why I think we can be satisfied with this solid 18th place at home. We were able to retain important things for the package. I hope that we can improve in Hockenheim where I will do everything to reward my fans for the unwavering support they offer me at every Grand Prix.
Charles Pic – 19th:
We can be happy to have both cars finish the race, and this gives us a lot of information for the development of the package.
During the race, we took a little too much time during the first relay and we were stuck behind the HRTs. The second stop allowed me to overtake De La Rosa, and I want to thank the team for its quickness.
The work has been solid in England, we look forward to arriving in Germany and we are more optimistic.
