ANOTHER POINT
Sebastien Buemi
(STR4-03)
Pos.8th
"Getting another point today, after also scoring in Brazil, is a nice way to
end the season. The entire team has done a great job over the past four
races and so I am looking forward to next year. At first, I was having trouble
matching Rosberg's pace, but I picked up more and more speed as the race
progressed. I lost a bit of time behind Nakajima, but overall I think I did the
best I could and it was a great race. My fight with Robert was quite fair, as I
think I left him enough space."
Jaime Alguersuari
(STR4-01)
Retired
"My start was not too bad, but I got a bit boxed in and on the first lap, I
made a mistake at Turn 19, losing the rear of the car and going onto the
grass, which is when I lost a few places. Then later, I had to stop with a
gearbox problem as a couple of gears were disabled, so I decided to pit.
But there was a misunderstanding because I came into the Red Bull Racing
pit next door as my team was not expecting me. I therefore drove back onto
the track and had to retire there when the gearbox broke."
Franz Tost: "Another point. Buemi drove his best race of the season,
getting a good start and after that the strategy chosen by the team also
worked well to get him ahead of Rosberg. His fight with Kubica was an
important and exciting moment as he managed to stay ahead. His lap times
were very quick and Sebastien produced a very good performance.
Unfortunately, we had a gearbox problem on Alguersuari's car when two
gears engaged at the same time, breaking the gearbox. It's a shame the
season is over, as in recent races the performance of the team, the car and
the drivers increased. Now, I hope we can build a good car for next year
and pick up in Bahrain where we left off here."
