Race 2 Selected Quotes
Lewis Hamilton (1st): "I made a very good start but so did Adrian. I had to make sure at La Source that I got a good run on him down the hill. I wasn't able to get to the right so I had to put my car on the left. It was hairy. The tyres were still cold but Adrian was very fair. It would be easy to lose concentration and feel negative after yesterday so I'm delighted to take the win."
Adrian Sutil (2nd): "I made a good start but Lewis was able to slipstream me down the hill. It was a fair manoeuvre. The gap was quite close at the beginning but perhaps running behind Lewis meant I used my tyres more. I had some oversteer at the end, but it has still be a very successful weekend for me."
Lucas Di Grassi (3rd): "At the start Van De Garde outbraked himself into La Source and nearly hit Lewis. He also pushed me onto the grass. I lost the place but then Guerrieri went off on the second lap and I was third. I was opening a gap to fourth but I couldn't catch second so it was a lonely race. ASM have proved themselves are quite fast, but I'm quite happy with third."
Paul Di Resta (5th): "I'm quite pleased with my recovery. I had a problem with my left front tyre which was breaking up. I have a lot of understeer in right-handers. Which is why I went off. And Franck Perera had me on the grass - he squeezed me. I think he has to be the most difficult guy in F3 to pass."
James Rossiter (8th): "I had understeer and my engine was lacking response. I wasn't able to fight back."
