Points for Kova and Hamilton

For once, the spotlight is on Heikki Kovalainen at McLaren-Mercedes. Author of a faultless race, the Finn finished in 5th place. After retiring in the first round of the Australian and Malaysian GPs, he finally opened his points counter: “I think we couldn't do better today. I came back on Rubens in the last laps, but I was not fast enough to be able to attack him. We had a good strategy with only one stop around halfway. These four points reward our efforts. »

Sixth, Hamilton accumulated errors during this race. Lewis nevertheless had the potential to climb onto the podium: “It was difficult to drive at the start of the race. I found a good pace, I had a lot of fun behind the wheel, but I destroyed my tires too early. I made a few too many mistakes today. My right front tire was ruined well before the finish, but I did my best. I'm finally happy to bring a few points back to the team? »
