“Although we thought this track would suit our car, it’s been better
than we expected.”
Team chief Ross Brawn said: “I think we made the right calls, but nothing
opened up for us. It was a race that was about managing gaps and finding the
right windows in the traffic.
“The team did a great job on that. As for Michael, he was hit on the run
to the opening corner which cost him positions, but was very quick when a
fuel pressure problem started to slow him later in the race.
“We tried to continue but it was costing him too much time, dropped him
out of the points and forced us to retire the car.
“It was very disappointing because he put in a great performance this
weekend and he was still on course to score useful points.
“We need to make sure we eliminate the problems for him, starting in
Canada.”
