Vettel and Kubica explain themselves

“I was second, in a very good position,” explains Hag. “When I turned, I was in front. But I couldn't keep enough speed in the corner. Robert, who had hard tires, was faster. During the collision, he was in front but I had no room to pass or stop. I turned and the car went straight. »

" What a desappointment ! » adds Kubica. “I think I had a real chance of winning because Vettel and Button had soft tires while I was on hard tires. Sebastian braked a little early. I was already in front but he didn't let me pass. He understeered and hit me. I think he was a little too optimistic. There were still three laps left, he had no chance of maintaining his position because I was much faster. We had a chance to achieve a great result and we come away with nothing? »

“We always want to fight,” continues the pilot Red Bull. “Perhaps I should have let him pass and settled for third position. That's life. I am sorry for the whole team and for Robert. »
