Vitaly Petrov: “We can repeat that”

For a long time, his future was undecided. Author of some great performances last year for his debut in Formula 1, Vitaly Petrov also stood out for some errors, particularly in qualifying. But ultimately, Eric Boullier decided to continue to trust the Russian. Well done to him given the result in Melbourne, where the 2 GP2009 vice-champion climbed to the third step of the podium. It now remains to continue this momentum. Petrov believes in it, but remains cautious all the same.

“I now know that we can have a great season, I believe that we can repeat that in the next races, he concedes. We have a better idea of ​​where we stand compared to the competition. But I think we have to wait for a few more Grands Prix to have a more precise picture of reality. We know that Red Bull et McLaren It's very strong, but we can continue to push them to their limits. »
