Drivers not blaming each other
Adam Carroll and Adrian Valles avoided laying the blame at each other for their race-ending collision in the sprint race at Valencia, which sent the Briton's car rolling in the air
Carroll rolled three times after riding over the back of Valles as they battled for seventh position.
The Campos Racing driver had taken a defensive line into turn 5 and had to brake earlier than normal in order to make the corner without running wide and letting the Racing Engineering car through.
Carroll said: "I think he braked earlier than normal, but it's my job to be aware of these things. It just caught me by surprise and then I saw sky and then the ground.
"I think Repsol and Telefonica are pretty pleased by the amount of coverage we gave them."
Valles said: "I was in the middle of the track, and I didn't expect him to pass me there. Then I felt a thump, and I saw him flying over me.
"I don't know what happened, really. It was a shame, but this has still been a great weekend for us."
