Alguersuari scores his first points

Jaime Alguersuari is still very young but, at 20 years old, during the eleventh Grand Prix of Formula 1 of his career, the Spanish driver scored his first points in the discipline. This weekend, in Malaysia, the former Formula driver Renault 3.5 Series was able to set a good pace to finish in ninth place, ahead of the drivers Williams and his teammate Sébastien Buemi.

« I am very happy to score points today and I must say that I did not expect to achieve it so early in the season, says the young Spaniard. I must thank the entire team who worked hard to achieve this result. I improved little by little but this weekend was very difficult because I didn't know the track. »

« I had a lot of fun during this race, especially when I had to battle against other drivers., continues Alguersuari. I think I learned a lot about the art of these duels with Michael (Schumacher) last weekend in Melbourne. At the end of the race, I was worried about whether my soft tires would hold up but they didn't deteriorate too much. I am very happy and am more confident before the next races. »
