Sunday: A point for Senna, a bump for Maldonado at Williams
Until the 31st lap, the Williams cars were almost running together, with Bruno Senna ahead of Pastor Maldonado thanks to an opportunistic overtaking following an attack from Romain Grosjean. But the Venezuelan, after cutting in on Kamui Kobayashi after an overtaking maneuver, suffered a puncture that dropped him back into the pack and allowed his Brazilian teammate to take the last position within the points.
Bruno Senna – 10th:
« We had a good car in the race, and after disappointing qualifying yesterday, scoring a point means I’m happy with today’s performance. It was a fun race because I was fighting with cars that were on a similar pace, so I had to make my overtakes last, which is very satisfying. The car performed much better this weekend, so we will go to the next race [in Abu Dhabi, editor’s note] with much more confidence. »
Pastor Maldonado – 16th:
The car behaved well today, and I was confident in my chances of scoring points, but my race effectively ended when I was hit and got a puncture which placed me at the back and made me lose a lot of time. It was a very unlucky race for me in the end, but we can take some positives from the fact that the car’s pace improved, and we should be more competitive for the last three races of the season.
