Spyker pleased with drivers' response

The Silverstone-based team's chiefs had called on both men to make improvements after incidents in the Canadian GP wrecked their chances of scoring their first points of the season.

And with Sutil and Albers making it to the finish of the race at Indianapolis, chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne said he was pleased with what he had seen.

"We got both cars to the flag, they didn't make any mistakes, so I am happy," Gascoyne told autosport.com.

"In Adrian's case he had hit the wall in the last two races all on his own, and those sort of mistakes you should not be making at this sort of level.

"He drove a very, very good race. And he was under pressure, pressuring people in front which was good.

"Christijan is still struggling a little bit, but he got the car to the flag and did what he needed to do."

Albers told autosport.com over the weekend that he is still struggling to get his driving style adapted to this year's Bridgestone tyres. He also hoped that a split with his management would help him clear his head of distractions.

Gascoyne still wants more from Albers but was hopeful such improvements would come soon.

"There are undoubtedly things that distracted him and like some other drivers he has been struggling with the tyres," said Gascoyne.

"With a one-stop strategy here it didn't really work for him, but he is definitely getting more on top of it."
