German GP race quotes: Scuderia Toro Rosso

Scuderia Toro Rosso reflects on the German Graౠnd Prix at the Nurbu🎐rgring.

Sebastien Buemi - 16th:

"It was a difficult race, although I had a good start and the opening laps went well. When we put on the soft tyres at the pit stop, I suffered with a loss of grip and keptꦛ sliding as I struggled to get them up to temperature. In the final stint it was the same story. It was not a positive outcome, but we will have new upda🌳tes at the next race and we should be more competitive."

Sebastien Bourdais - Retired:

It was not a positive outcome, but we will have new updates at the next race and we should be more competitive."

Sebastien Bourdais - Retired:

"On the warm up laps we weren't so happy with the option tyre so we decided to start on the prime, which I think was a good call. But then I b🍨egan to lose hydraulic pressure and so I lost the power steering, clutch and eventually everything else and so I had to pull in. It's a shame of course, because although we were a🧸t the back at the time, I think we had a good strategy, with a heavy fuel load and, even running on primes we could manage the gap to those ahead of us, staying in touch with them."

Franz Tost - team principal:

"Once again, well done to Red Bull Racing for a fantastic performance. As for our race, we unfortunately suffered a hydraulic failure on Bourdais' car. With Buemi, after a good start wher🐟e he moved up four places, he complained of lacking grip and he kept locking the rears. Now, we must hope that with the new🍌 aerodynamic package we will have in Hungary, we can begin to close the gap and move up the order."
