“A disastrous race…”
By Ian Lockwood
August 25 2008
A disastrous race. David got involved in an incident in the first lap, which damaged his car and Mark, who was on a one stop strategy, was hoping for a safety car that never appeared. He didn’t have enough pace, particularly after his pit stop.
Car 10, MARK WEBBER, (Finish Position 12th, Start Position: 14th)
"We just weren't quick enough. We were hoping for a few safety cars to come out during the race, so ran a one stop strategy, but it didn't happen. It was a difficult race pace wise and we've got a lot of analysis to do."
Car 9, DAVID COULTHARD, (Finish Position 17th, Start Position: 17th)
"I was hit from behind on the first lap. I came back and passed a couple of cars, but when I tried to pass one of the Force India's, I aborted the manoeuvre and made contact with them, so sorry to them for that. That damaged my barge board and the side of the car, so after that the balance and downforce were very poor."
CHRISTIAN HORNER:
"A disastrous race. David got involved in an incident in the first lap, which damaged his car and Mark, who was on a one stop strategy, was hoping for a safety car that never appeared. He didn't have enough pace, particularly after his pit stop. It's our most disappointing race of the year. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel who drove very well today and demonstrated what the chassis is capable of."
FABRICE LOM, Renault, Principal Engineer, Track Support:
"A poor result, we were off the pace. After qualifying we didn't really have any opportunity to bet on, so we finished where we qualified. We have poor pace and we just have to work."

StumbleuponI'd also like to ask DC, what does it mean, to "abort the manoeuvre"??? The resultant crash is no less bad is it? Or is it?
Quote:aborted the manoeuvre
LOL DC...too late you already hit him, if you are going to abort you have to abort a little earlier DC! hahaha
