Sutil, di Resta suffer retirements at Malaysian GP
|
The poor qualifying spilled to the race day as Sutil was in the race for 27 laps while di Resta retired after 22 laps as both the drivers were troubled by wheel nut issues.
To save the cars from serious damage, the team chose to retire both the machines.
Defending champion Sebastian Vettel won the race ahead of his Red Bull teammate Mark Webber.
Sutil
chose to be optimist, saying it's early time in the season and they
have plenty of time to recover from the disappointing result today.
"Were
not sure exactly what happened yet so the team stopped the cars to make
sure we understand the issue. Its a shame that this happened here
because we had a very quick car today and I felt very comfortable as the
track dried out. We have to stay positive, keep our heads up and
remember that there are plenty of races left where we can make up for
the disappointment of today," the German said.
Di Resta said the pace of the car was good but it made sense to retire the car to avoid damage.
"We
saw an issue at Adrian's first pit stop when I was sat behind him,
which cost me about 15 seconds, and then I had the same issue with the
wheel nut at my second pit stop. As a precaution the team chose to
retire the car," di Resta said.
