Schumacher: At least I start from the good side
Posted: Saturday July 30th 2011, 14:45 GMT
Michael Schumacher qualified 9th today. It was the tenth time he was out qualified by Nico Rosberg who was 7th. He wasn't very happy with the result but reckoned that he wouldn't have to start from the dirty side of the track: "The positive thing that I can take from qualifying today is that I will be starting from the better side of the grid in ninth place. However there are also things which we need to investigate further as the first two sectors did not work out well for us today. They were fine with the prime tyres, but not with the super softs, so we will have a close look into the reasons why. As always, we will try to do the best that we can in the race tomorrow."
His team principal, Ross Brawn, was satisfied with the team's result: "A reasonable qualifying session for us today with Nico and Michael getting the most out of the car that we had. Our positions are about where we are at the moment. During this morning's practice session, we focused on our race performance, and that should pay off for us tomorrow afternoon. It's likely to be quite a tricky race with the tyres as the super softs are right on the limit, so we will have to look after them carefully and make the most of them."
Last year Nico Rosberg failed to finish the race. Michael Schumacher was 11th.
