Adrian Sutil looking forward to German Grand Prix after a disappointing Silverstone race – Formula 1
Force India-Mercedes driver Adrian Sutil has said that he is hoping for better results in the upcoming German Grand Prix after a disappointing Silverstone race recently.
Sutil took a good start in the recently held British Grand Prix, where he finished his Friday Free Practice session on the Silverstone grid in a decent manner. He successfully secured 11th place for Sunday’s race in the qualifying round. However,
he could not perform well on the new Pirelli tyres during the race and ended up at the 11th place for the team in Silverstone.
The team driver discussed his British Grand Prix and said, “I gained a couple of places, but it was very difficult, with quite a lot of aquaplaning in the middle sector, while in the last sector it was pretty dry. I had saved a set of tyres and I could really
feel in the race that it was a big benefit. There was more in the car absolutely.”
The German told the media that he had a good time in the early stages of the race at the Silverstone racetrack and that he made a lot of struggle on the soft tyres during that.
Sutil said that he took a first pitstop too early and due to that, he had to take another stop in the end. He lost his lap time at that point and failed to finish his good run in the British Grand Prix as a result.
The 28-year-old driver said, “We had a bad stop, we lost a few seconds with a problem on the rear, and they couldn't put the nut on. I didn't lose a position, but I lost track time. In the end I was closing up to Alguersuari and Schumacher, and probably
with a couple more laps I could have passed them.”
Sutil is in the 12th place in the driver’s championship of the 2011 Formula 1 season.
After a disappointing Silverstone race, Sutil is hoping for better results in the upcoming German Grand Prix, taking place on July 24, 2011 in Nurburgring. Let’s see how he manages his race at his home event.
