Second race of the season and Pascal Manor Wehrlein worked as ever. The German driver has struggled in the middle of the table and has been a time that was seventh in qualifying, still finished 13th. His teammate, Rio Haryanto finished in the last position and notes that a tire degradation problem has been the cause.
Wehrlein, which has been involved in numerous battles in Bahrain, finished in thirteenth position, very happy with the behavior of the car in the race and eager to continue improving for the next race of the season.
"It was a great race. I can not even compare it with that I did in Melbourne because it was completely different. The car was better, how to control the wheels have been better, everything has improved. It was a little difficult at first , but that happens in the middle, so I will not complain. I started well and I managed to avoid contact, then the rest of the first batch has been fun. it's good to be so competitive. he was seventh at a time and I enjoyed getting ahead of Force India. it would have been great to advance to the second Sauber at the end but I started to lose with wheels. we still have some degradation with wheels, so we chose a three-stop strategy, but it has been better than previous race and is a good sign. I want to thank the whole team. I have a great car and it is exciting to see the potential we have. Now I have really wanted to go to China, "he said.
Haryanto, who has not fared as well as his teammate, said that the problem has been that it has suffered severe degradation of tires. Still, the pilot expected that in China things work better. "It was great to see the checkered flag today. It is good to have a whole career for me, which is vital for the team and gives us a lot of information to analyze and further develop the car. The start was good and we were among the Sauber and Renault, but I think we did different to any other strategy. in addition we have suffered degradation on the tires, which has impeded progress. Shanghai is a track that I know well so I wanted to take another step forward there " he commented.
Dave Ryan, race director of the team, thanks to the team work during the weekend in Bahrain. Although he is happy with the position of Wehrlein he believes they still have a long way to improve.
"Congratulations to the entire team for an awesome job today in the race, which has shown how much we have progressed since Melbourne. Both drivers have done perfect, keeping everyone on the edge of your seat from start to finish and demonstrating the maturity with the two rookies. Obviously Pascal has had a dream career considering the position we are in now and has done a great job ahead of both Force India. yet I will keep my joy because at the moment we are still on the first step of a very tall ladder. There is long way to go and a very clear potential we have to make. Having said this, it is gratifying to see that hard work is paying off and is beginning to grow. we are much more particularly strong and I would like to acknowledge the contribution of our team in Banbury, who have been with us every step of the weekend. Now we are going to China, there I hope we see more signs of improvement, "marked Ryan.
