Rollercoaster ride for Virgin
VIRGIN Racing's Timo Glock drove a great race to finish the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim as the first driver in the new teams' category—despite starting from the last row of the grid after taking a five place grid penalty for a changed gearbox.
But it wasn’t such good news for Lucas Di Grassi, after being forced out with damaged suspension despite a positive start.
Said team boss John Booth: “It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster weekend for us, starting out with a strong free practice on Friday, followed by the disappointment of our problems on Saturday and then a really strong race for both Timo and Lucas.
“It is frustrating that having pulled it all back in the race we lost Lucas’ car in the closing stages, but I think the whole team goes to Hungary this weekend with great anticipation.”
