German record in Valencia: disappointed Heidfeld, Glock happy


Nick Heidfeld ended up in the points and is annoyed. Timo Glock to 21st in the goal and was satisfied. The perspectives of two formula 1-drivers can be so different.

Place ten, a championship point. Nick Heidfeld in the point were landed for the fifth time in eight events. Team-mate Vitaly Petrov had he clearly in control the whole weekend. But at the end of the disappointment prevailed. "If you ninth start and arrive as tenth", be not zufreiden. "In particular, when Michael Schumacher is still one of the two Mercedes from ten has dropped the top", accounted for Heidfeld.
Worse yet, "A Toro Rosso and a force India came before us in the goal." "This should not happen us." The Monchengladbach didn't know how it could happen to crash at the end itself. Actually, you increase Renault in the race to the training. "The race speed is not agreed, and we could go not so long with the tyres as we thought."
Thus came the alternative strategies with a stop of less out of the question. Heidfeld lost a place right in the main round to Adrian Sutil. As he has recaptured the position, something funny happened him. "I was Sutil before the first DRS zone past." Adrian was off but still so close that he was allowed to turn on the wing at the first point of overtaking. "Since he cracked again me." And then left the Force India on the horizon. Nine were missing in the target 8.3 seconds to place Heidfeld.
Of points, Timo dare not dream Glock. "if all cars to the finish come as in Valencia, is our 21st position." "I have reached the maximum." Glock was satisfied with the entire weekend. Finally, no breakdowns on Friday. Finally a proper training.
"I had to make slower only the last five or six laps in the race." "Since the fuel pressure stayed away in the fast corners." Otherwise it was Glock with the exception of the first rounds again a lonely race for Timo. The Hesse surfaced after a round on the course 18.
"I had a super start and am immediately to two Lotus past." When you were allowed to select their DRS system on the line, I had no chance against them. Then I drove my own race. It ran perfectly, especially in the second turn. I have remained extremely long out there with the soft tyres. "Even with the hard tyres at the end the car went well surprisingly."
The only thing now missing Glock, is a real chaos such as Montreal. And a car that worked then as well as the Virgin in Valencia.
