“It was a tricky race today and obviously it’sdisappointing to finish just one position away from the points in the end. Thecar was performing well, and we had good race pace, which we weren’t able toshow with traffic ahead. We’ll refocus and maximise everything for theremaining races from Singapore and onwards. I’m looking forward to a littlebreak to recover from the triple header and fully prepare for the flyaway raceswhere we’ll look to get both cars back into the points in our fight for fourthin the Constructors’ Championship.”
FernandoAlonso, started P6, DNF:“It was a challenging race today and we seemed to be finding it difficult tokeep up with the cars ahead of us on the straights. We then had to retire thecar with a suspected water pressure issue, but we still need to investigate whythis happened. We were fighting inside the top ten and I was hoping we couldsee the chequered flag inside the points, but it wasn’t the case today. It’sbeen a long three weeks; the team has worked very hard and deserves a shortbreak. The good news is that we are still ahead in the fight with McLaren forfourth, so we go to Singapore with the aim to be in the top ten again.”
Otmar Szafnauer, Team Principal:“We’recertainly disappointed not to have scored points at today’s Italian Grand Prixwith Esteban narrowly missing out in eleventh and Fernando retiring from therace while in a competitive position. It looks like we lost water pressure onhis car, which meant he had to stop, and we’ll do our normal investigations tofind out the cause and the solution for the future. On Esteban’s side, he puthimself into a strong position during his second stint – lapping one-second alap quicker than those ahead - and would have been in contention for pointsbefore the final Safety Car at the end. It’s a pity the race did not end undera green flag, and I’m sure we can find better ways to improve the spectacle ofracing in these kinds of scenarios. As a team, we should reflect on thepositives and, if we look across the triple header, we’ve come away with 26points, which is a good effort and very valuable for the championship. We’llcome back stronger for Singapore at the end of the month where we have furtherupgrades coming to the car.”
