Hungary - Race 2 Quotes

NEWS STORY

Javier Villa (Racing Engineering) Winner - Winning today in front of yesterday's winner, Adam, was very important for me especially in such a tough race. The start wasn't the best possible and the first laps were difficult. But from the fourth lap I could start pushing and getting closer to the first two. When they had their mistake and I went ahead I could finally set a better pace and both Adam and I started to pull away, from then on I could see that I could run faster and win the race.

Adam Carroll (FMS International) 2nd - It's just been absolutely brilliant this weekend. Silverstone was fantastic and the car was good. We struggled in Nurburgring so we came with a different set-up and worked very hard this weekend. Even after qualifying we changed the car quite a bit, and again for today we made some changes. Today I got a very good start, moving up to fourth and I could see the two guys at the front were fighting hard and I could see something happening. When they made the mistake I went into second. Javier did a very good job and he didn't make a mistake. We were very close but I just couldn't catch him. So I got a first and a second this weekend, which isn't bad, and it's good for the championship. I'm very happy.

Roldan Rodriguez (Minardi Piquet Sports) 3rd - I am very happy, but not 100% happy because I thought I could win this race. I had the rhythm and I think the overtake with Zaugg he closed the door and we crashed. Anyway I'm so happy. It's the first podium and I hope to be there many times in the season.

Lucas Di Grassi (ART Grand Prix) 4th - It was a positive weekend, but it could have been better. I was in the lead in race one before the safety car emerged and in race two we had a mechanical problem in the race that saw me lose a second a lap in the latter stages. We will have to investigate the problem, but it looks like it was the gearbox. I had to push at the start of race two after losing a place off the start but I am still pleased with the outcome even though it wasn't a perfect weekend. We have closed the gap a bit and the last four races will see a charge for the crown. That's what matters, winning the championship!

Kohei Hirate (Trident Racing) 10th - I had a good start, but I was suddenly forced to lift the throttle by a stalled car, losing positions. I tried to avoid any risk in a contact-filled first lap, starting to push when everything became safer. Unfortunately, in the second half of the race I started having oversteer problems; at that point, I focused on ending the race with no mistakes.

Jason Tahinci (FMS International) 11th - It wasn't easy today because I had to wear glasses because of the problem with my eye and they kept steaming up. I had a similar problem to yesterday with the car, which was pulling to the left under braking in the third sector, but I had a good first sector so I could manage to keep people behind there. I spun twice, which was a pity, but I was pushing hard. If I hadn't done that, then I think I could have finished a couple of places higher. But I've made an improvement and now I'm looking forward to the next race, which is my home event in Turkey, and I hope to get an even better result there.

Bruno Senna (Arden International) 12th - Obviously it's very frustrating to come away from the weekend with no points. I do think that we managed to make some progress, although we have a long way to go. It's not easy to come to Hungary for the first time, it's quite a tricky track, but as I've said many times this season, this is all part of a steep learning curve for me. Today's race was hard because Maldonado hit me twice, but now I just have to look forward.
