After qualifying an impressive tenth, Sebastien Buemi put in a great race in his Toro Rosso Ferrari to finish in eighth position, adding another points to the two secured in Melbourne.Buemi's only scare was behind the safety car when he made light contacct with the rear of Sebastian Vettel's race leading Toro Rosso.
While Buemi led the way for the team again, Sebastien Bourdais finished 11th in the sister STR4 but claims that the race should not have been held in the wet conditions.
Sebastien Buemi
“I am very happy as the team did a super job so that we got another point to take away from here. I am pleased that in three races, I have scored twice. Maybe I could have done a little bit better, but I’m happy all the same. We were very competitive in the early stages and I got past Raikkonen and Hamilton, but after that I struggled a bit. I think it was one of my hardest races ever. As for the incident with Vettel, it happened under Safety Car conditions: I didn’t see him and I tried to swerve to the right, but it was not enough to avoid him. We changed the wing on my car and I’m glad I didn’t spoil his race.”
Sebastien Bourdais
“I started 15th and finished 11th, even with a couple of spins. I’ve got mixed feelings, because I don’t think we should have raced as there was so much aquaplaning. The fact the cars have a lot less downforce this year, aggravates the situation as it’s hard to get the car down onto the track surface. I could have spun 15 or 20 times and Sutil’s crash showed what could have happened. The one positive thing is that it was probably a good show for the fans.”
Franz Tost
“First, well done to Red Bull Racing. Congratulations on doing a fantastic job with a one-two finish thanks to Sebastian and Mark. On our side, we picked up another point thanks to Buemi, who drove a good race, given the difficult conditions today, in what is only his third F1 race. Overall, it means we can head to Bahrain in an optimistic frame of mind.”
