Jérôme d’Ambrosio – 14th

An uneventful race but a good effort from d’Ambrosio to bring the car home on his first attempt. Jerome managed to stay pretty close to Glock for the first part of the grand prix and showed good pace throughout the race. Obviously still early days for him but a good first showing.

Timo Glock – Not Classified

Timo doesn’t really deserve to be driving at the back of the field but unfortunately that’s where he finds himself at the moment. For the equipment he had under him his speed was good, being able to keep up with the Lotus cars well. Unfortunately a botched pit stop caused him to lose a number of laps, from there it was just driving around to bring the car home.

The Team

I don’t expect much from Virgin this year. I don’t think their packages is good enough to challenge Lotus so I’m expecting the Virgin cars to be at the back of the field this year.
