Drivers Quotes after the Australian Grand Prix

Adrian Sutil (car 20)
‘A big disappointment, especially when I watched the race afterwards, but it was good while it lasted. In the opening laps I could stay with the guys in front of me and could overtake to get up to 13th position, but then I had a hydraulic pressure problem. I had to go back to the pits, so at that point my race was over. We have to hope for more in Malaysia, but I think we showed an improvement over last year, particularly over the longer runs in practice, so I am confident we can really do better there.’

Giancarlo Fisichella (car 21)
‘I am very disappointed as I lost the race at the first corner because another driver came in like a kamikaze into my car and it was very frustrating, especially considering a race like this where there was a possibility to score lots of points. It was a good opportunity and I am really disappointed. Let’s hope for more in Malaysia.’

Briton Hamilton took the chequered flag at Spa-Franorchamps after a thrilling wheel-to-wheel battle with Ferrari's defending world champion Kimi Raikkonen.

The decision gave Raikkonen's Brazilian team-mate Felipe Massa his fifth win of the season.

Aldo Costa, creator of the 248 F1, reflected on Byrne's role and the characteristics of the car in detail. He declared that: "it was mainly to do with the V8 engine and we imposed a radical change from both a mechanical and aerodynamic point of view. The aerodynamics are still at a preliminary stage and will be until the first race of the season."

"As regards the chassis, this is totally new, above all in the center section. We decided on this in order to optimize the weight distribution and lighten the entire structure. The same goes for the suspension, especially in the completely redesigned rear end."

“The transmission too is all new and also the differential. In building these two new elements in particular, we had to pay close attention to the characteristics of the V8. The greater vibrations generated by the engine brought more initial problems".
