Weddings for life

Apart  from  pets  and  babies,  wedding  photos  were  also  very  popular  on  our  'Faces  for Charity'  livery  that  we've  run  all  weekend  to  raise  money  for  Wings  for  Life.  The   couple above are one of many that got hitched, but sadly our day at Silverstone did not go without a hitch...

DAVID COULTHARD, (Finish Position 11th, Start Position: 12th) "I didn't drive very well today unfortunately, I made a couple of mistakes in the second stint and lost a bit of time. The car was tricky to drive, it had a lot of oversteer and the balance just wasn't there today. So, it's back to the drawing board and we'll see what we get in Germany."

MARK WEBBER, (Finish Position DNF, Start Position: 11th)"I was happy with my start, I overtook Jarno who was running a lighter fuel load than me. I knew I was running heavier than some of the guys ahead of us, so the plan was to hang on in there at the pace we had, and then to get the benefit of running longer. As I came past the start-finish line on lap eight, my engineer told me to switch to a different gearbox map, but there was a problem with the hydraulics. As I came into Becketts, I had no power steering. I tried  to  keep  going,  but  no  hydraulics  meant  no  throttle,  steering,  gearbox,  the  whole shooting match."

CHRISTIAN  HORNER:  "It  was  disappointing  for  Mark  to  retire  early  on  with  a  suspected differential  failure,  which  consequently  caused  the  hydraulic  system  to  fail.    He'd  looked reasonably  competitive  in  the  opening  laps  and,  as  it  was  clear  to  see  the  top  ten  had  allgone very short, we would have had a reasonable race. David had a couple of moments on his second stint, which ultimately didn't permit us to outrun the Hondas, which were on a one stop strategy. It's frustrating to finish in eleventh position today."

FABRICE  LOM,  Renault  Principal  Engineer,  Track  Support:  "We  are  disappointed  this afternoon  as  we  were  once  again  not  able  to  show  our  real  potential.  Mark  retired  which showed also  that  our  reliability was not  strong  enough.  We are expecting  some  evolutions and improvements for the next race, we will have now two weeks and a testing session in Spa to get ready for the German Grand Prix where I hope we will be able to make the most of our package and score some points."
