Silverstone quali: bad rain, bad timing
Silverstone quali: bad rain, bad timing
I'm a bit disappointed, as we were not expecting the rain to arrive so soon, which meant we did not run the Option tyre as early as we might have done. But the rain came down hard on my 'out' lap, so I never got a chance to set a good time with the soft tyre, which normally is as much as two seconds a lap quicker than the hard. On the positive side, we have plenty of new tyres for tomorrow, so let's hope it will be dry. From this start position, getting a good start will be essential because, even with DRS, I think overtaking at this circuit will be difficult. This season we have started from poor grid positions but still gone on to have a good race and I hope that is the case tomorrow.
