Liuzzi: 'It's a shame because we were in front of our crowd'
Posted: Monday June 27th 2011, 10:40 GMT
After their reasonably good qualifying HRT had a tough race. Vitantonio Liuzzi, who finished 23rd, says that the problem was their tyres: "It was a really difficult race for us because we were struggling with the rear tyres. We knew since Friday that it would be difficult because we were overheating the rear and this was wearing the tyres out even more and that is why we were forced to do a three stop strategy and, unfortunately, were unable to cope with the Virgins. In the first two stints we were fighting with them but then, because we stopped one more time than them, we were struggling to fight with them."
The Italian was disappointed that he couldn't do more in front of the team's second home Grand Prix: "We need to fight hard if we want to keep up with the pace of our competitors, we need to improve and work hard day and night. It's a shame because we were in front of our crowd, they have been fantastic with us but we need to push for the rest of the season. The weekend was really tough but beautiful because Valencia has been a fantastic city that has welcomed us really well. We had a beautiful week, it's a shame because we wanted to achieve a better result but now we are fighting for the future."
