Tonio had a tough Brazilian GP today. After he managed to evade the first lap incidents, he fought his way up to the eight position. The majority of the race he was fighting yet again with Fisichella, finally Tonio finished in 12th position.

He said: “It was a long race, starting from last on the grid after the gearbox change yesterday. We made a change to the soft tyres in the safety car period, using them for just one lap to get them out of the way as we felt we couldn’t do longer stints with them. On the harder compound in the first stint I had a good pace but we struggled a lot with oversteer on the second so I couldn’t get past Giancarlo.”

“Then at the end I had a brake problem, which compromised the race but at least we finished this difficult Grand Prix, which was important. We had hoped for rain as we seemed to be very competitive in those conditions but that’s how it is – now we can just look forward to Abu Dhabi.”
