Winkelhock unhappy with qualifying showing

The Spyker driver, making his Grand Prix debut this weekend as he replaces Christijan Albers, finished at the bottom of the times, nearly one and a half seconds behind his teammate Adrian Sutil.

Winkelhock was disappointed with the result and is now looking to finish tomorrow's race.

"I'm a little bit disappointed as I know more was possible today," said Winkelhock. "I was already quicker than Friday, but in qualifying with the first set of tyres I did a safe lap without pushing too much. Then on the second set of tyres I tried to push but we had a little bit too much oversteer.

"Also in the first corner there was a Toro Rosso, it didn't block me, but already the lap could not be perfect from that first corner.

"I'm not really happy, but at the end of the day, it was pretty certain I was going to be on the last row and I knew I had to focus on tomorrow. The goal is to do a good job without any mistakes, with obviously the biggest target being to finish the race."

Sutil also had a difficult day as Spyker struggled to get close to any of their rivals.

The German finished 21st, nearly 1.4 seconds behind his nearest rival.

In general it's been a difficult weekend, but we improved the balance a lot from yesterday," he said. "The track is difficult for us due to the camber change of the roads - we lose a lot of grip in the front when we turn in and have some problems braking into the corners.

"It always seems to lock up in the front, which is not what you need in Qualifying. The lap was OK but I felt I couldn't really push. In this race I think we just have to live with it and concentrate on doing what we can for this race and the next until we get the new car."
