Sauber was in a good trend slowed somewhat in recent weeks. After strong performances in Valencia and Silverstone was for the Swiss at the Hockenheim Ring, no point profit in it. Kamui Kobayashi failed eleventh conceivable short of additional meters. “It was okay. I think more was really not,” says Kobayashi in an interview with ‘Motorsport-Total.com’.
“The car was in qualifying, very good, but it lacked just two tenths of a second to move into Q3,” the Japanese. “My start was good. Overall, we have a show for us normal performance. It was just everything, what we could afford.” Team mate Pedro de la Rosa tried to bring on a late pit stop within striking distance of the points.
The Spaniard was at the end of the 14th and was interviewed by ‘Motorsport-Total.com’ bent according to some. “I’m disappointed because I expected more,” said the experienced Sauber driver. “We have chosen a different strategy. We thought it might be, given the poor starting position quite clever. But it was difficult when lapping. I am finally in conflict even with a competitor.”
The Spaniard felt uncomfortable with Heikki Kovalainen into the enclosure. “He had to pass Rubens and then immediately shut the door while I was at his side. That’s it. Finally, with fresh tires, I was able to again attack something. Overall, I am disappointed by the behavior of the laggards. And also the fact that the simple too little to be informed when faster cars to pass. ”
“If the incident would not have been, I would undoubtedly keep a nice fight with Rubens Barrichello and Kamui,” says de la Rosa disappointed. He looks at the next Grand Prix in Budapest: “It is a slow course with tight corners. Since we have to work hard, because slow corners are not our strength.” Teammate Kobayashi adds, “I hope that our car is a bit better. If we act like in Silverstone, then points could be possible.”
