Marcus Ericsson: “I took a 20 g shock”

On the wet track of the Hungaroring, following the violent downpour that occurred before the start, the first eliminated Marcus Ericsson indirectly contributed to the redistribution of the cards in the peloton after the Safety-Car exit to be able to evacuate the Swede's Caterham.

“My race was good until the 7th lap, Ericsson explains. I was fighting with Bianchi and Maldonado, when I was a little too aggressive on the accelerator coming out of turn 3. The rear stalled, and I couldn't catch the car. It was a very violent shock. About 20g, according to what I was told. » The Caterham weekend, which was off to a good start since the team dominated the Marussias, ended badly for both cars, Kobayashi giving up due to a problem with the fuel system of his CT05.
