How happy are you with being back in the points?
VP: I would say I was satisfied with that. It’s good to be back in the points, no doubt about it, but of course it would have been nice to build a bit more on a reasonably decent qualifying session yesterday.
Tell us about your race…
VP: We started on the medium (prime) tyre and I did all I could to maintain position at the start as those around me were on the softs. I suffered a lot of wheelspin, so with this tyre it was actually a pretty good start – if I was on the soft (option) tyre I would have gained places. During the race it was difficult to tell how the strategy was working and it was a challenge for the first two stints fighting against those on softer tyres.
Two more points helps the team in its push for fifth in the Constructors’ Championship…
VP: Yes, ultimately our target was to finish in front of Force India and this is what we achieved. I was pleased to overtake some cars near the end but it’s a pity Sergio (Perez) was just too far ahead. Now we go to Korea looking for another top 10 finish.
