Sébastien Buemi – 8th

Buemi had a good race this weekend, being promoted to 8th place from his 10th place finish due to the disqualification of the Sauber cars. He managed to qualify in the top 10 and showed good pace throughout the race although damaged to his car caused by his team mate slowed down his speed slightly.

Jaime Alguersuari – 11th

A messy race from Jaime, all caused during the first lap. First he tagged the back of his team mate and then was hit by Michael Schumacher, causing Jaime to lose his front wing. From there it was just a recovery drive from him but did not have the speed to get into the points. He was out qualified by his team mate, so he’ll be looking to change that at the next race.

The Team

A good step forward from the team with the end result not necessarily being what they deserved. You can expect more points finishes from the team in the future. Still a mid-field team however with their likely opposition being Sauber, Williams, Force India and possibly Mercedes and Lotus.
