Saturday: Bianchi and Chilton’s Marussia bring up the rear of the grid
Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton are determined to beat their rivals Caterham tomorrow during the race. Even though they will start at the back of the grid (21st and 22nd), they can rely on an MR02 equipped with upgrades to achieve this goal.
Jules Bianchi – 21st and 21st
Overall, it wasn’t such a bad qualification, but it’s a shame that we couldn’t improve our first lap. In the second lap, we experienced more understeer, which is a surprise and something we need to look into as soon as possible to prevent it from happening again in the future.
I’m not too unhappy with my result because it’s a new track for me, so I think if everything improves tomorrow, we can have a good race.
Max Chilton – 22nd and 22nd
It was quite surprising to undergo a significant shift in the balance during qualifying. The practice session went well, and I was only a tenth behind my teammate. We are very close to the Caterhams, and I think all four of us can have a good battle. I am really looking forward to driving in this night race, my first one! We will do our best to make the most of the opportunities that may come our way tomorrow.
