Sutil hopeful of stronger race at Spa
Adrian Sutil expects his Spyker team to make more progress in the next race in Belgium after a disappointing result at Monza
The Dutch squad raced their B-spec car for the first time this weekend, with hopes that it would allow them to fight in the midfield.
Their race, however, did not match their expectations, and Sutil and teammate Sakon Yamamoto finished at the bottom of the field.
"Today was not such a good day, but we did at least get to the finish with the new car," said Sutil. "The car balance was not great and at the start it was difficult to keep the temperature in the tyres under the safety car so I had a bad first stint.
"The second stint was a little bit better but I still had some understeer with the car. It's not been the best weekend but we'll be better in Belgium I'm sure."
Yamamoto added: "Today from the start we were fighting with the other cars and we had made the most of the two stop strategy. I could push and keep up with the field without problems, but in the end we lost a bit of time compared to the others.
"I am quite happy to make it to the end with the B-spec car and for the next race I will keep pushing and look forward to it."
