Sauber to start 11th & 12th in Malaysia
Team SAUBER PETRONAS drivers Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella will start tomorrow´s PETRONAS Malaysian Grand Prix from 11th and 12th places respectively after this afternoon´s qualifying sessions. Giancarlo Fisichella (Driver) My car was better today and I was quite happy with the balance. Unfortunately I lost the back end a couple of times in the last two corners and lost around three-tenths of a second. Without that we could have been in the top 10, so that´s disappointing. On the other hand, our race pace has been good, so I´m quite confident for the race. Felipe Massa (Driver) My car´s balance was very good in the first two sectors, but I was struggling quite a bit in the third one. It was like that this morning, and a bit worse this afternoon. The back end of the car lacked grip and stability. But 11th isn´t too bad a place to start, and I know that we have a very good set-up for the race, so I think we can do a good job tomorrow. Peter Sauber (Team Principal) Eleventh and twelfth positions are fine with us and are a result of a solid performance by both drivers. Of course it is annoying that we couldn´t leave da Matta behind, but I´m hoping that we can make this up in the race.
