@f1_vettel I think that the general public are against team orders but as they are allowed I suppose they should be obeyed

@motorsportuk is it not time to ban team orders? Public would have better racing & bookmakers could offer a fairer book (not rigged)

Fastest lap: 1.43.157 (lap 44) Team Quotes Charles Pic, car 20, chassis CT03-#6:
“Off the line I had a great start and was up with Giedo for the first
few laps while the track was wet enough for the inters. The team called
me in to change onto the medium tyres for the first stint in the dry but
as I was coming in to the box I saw Vergne being released right in
front of me and I couldn’t avoid him as I was turning in and there was
nothing I could do to avoid their mistake. The guys did a brilliant job
to change the nose and the tyres and I was out again after losing about
25 seconds – that’s the sort of thing the pitcrew train for and it paid
off in that first stop.
“It’s such a shame that incident happened as we could definitely
have finished better if it hadn’t happened. It may have cost us a place
and while that’s frustrating it’s also positive to see how well everyone
reacted and to see that we didn’t stop pushing, on the pitwall or in
the garage. We stopped another three times after that, going onto the
hard compounds for two stints and the mediums for the last thirteen laps
and the car felt pretty good throughout the whole race. I was able to
push right to the flag and without the pitlane issue I’m sure the final
result would look different.”
Giedo van der Garde, car 21, chassis CT03-#5: “I
had a really good start, really strong and the car felt great on the
inters for the first stint. Just when the conditions were going from wet
to dry I heard over the radio that I had a front left puncture but it
was exactly at the time we were coming in to switch to the dry tyres so
it only cost me a little bit of time. I came back out on the mediums and
was running well in 17th with really good balance.
“From there the race was ok. The rain that had been forecast
didn’t come so we didn’t have another chance to show what we can do on
the inters and that’s a shame as I’m definitely quick on those tyres,
but the car felt much better on both the medium and the hard compounds
we put on in the second and third stops than it had yesterday. I didn’t
have the same oversteer problems I had in FP3 or qualifying but we still
have work to do to reduce oversteer on entry into the corners and we’ll
look at that again in China. We’re also going to work on improving our
setup options for qualifying, maximising every run in the practice
sessions to help us get the most out of the car on Saturday afternoons
and that will definitely help us put in a stronger showing in quali.
“I also want to say what a good job the boys did in the stops. It
was pretty tight with Chilton each time but I stayed ahead of him after
good work on the pitwall and really strong work from the pitcrew. When
we finished I thanked them on the radio, and after the race Tony
Fernandes told the whole team how proud he was of the work he’d seen
today in the stops. He’s right – the boys are pushing hard and it’s good
to see the efforts we’re making in the car are the same across the
whole team.”
Cyril Abiteboul, Team Principal: “Having both
cars finish the first two races, including our home race in Malaysia, is
a fair reward for the efforts the whole team has put in, considering
where we are performance-wise at this stage of the season. Both drivers
again had very good starts and they were running well for the first part
of the race. The incident Charles was an innocent victim of in his
first stop was a real shame as that seriously hit his chances of
fighting against Bianchi, but the team reacted very well and I’m proud
of the efforts everyone has put in here and in Melbourne, in races that
we knew would be tough.
“Although the general reliability of the cars has been better than
a number of bigger teams ahead, we’re still having to deal with a
number of pretty intense situations that are affecting our ability to
control the finer details of our races. This time we had issues with our
intercom failing, which prevents communication between engineers, our
telemetry froze at certain points and the timing software went down
which meant we weren’t able to accurately map how the race was
unfolding. These things go on behind the scenes and while they don’t
directly affect the performance of the cars they don’t help, so we’ll
make sure we have fixes for each of those in China.
“Overall, with the strategy we’ve employed for 2013 and in
preparation for 2014 and beyond we knew the first few races of this
season would be tough, but we’re not going to deviate from the plan.
Even though we’re running a hybrid car for the first three races we’re
still close to where we want to be and the updates we have coming will
pay dividends. We have a long-term goal, one that is built around the
whole group we are part of and one that is realistic, sustainable and
which will see us right in the mix in the long run.” Ends

Such a shame about @charles_pic1's incident at the 1st stop. Nothing he could do to avoid Toro Rosso's mistake & it cost about 25 seconds...
— Caterham F1 Team (@MyCaterhamF1) March 24, 2013
Giedo had a decent 2nd race of his F1 career. After a really good start he was very strong on the inters & finishing 15th is a fair result

2013 MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX – SUNDAY 24/03/2013 . Jean-Eric Vergne (STR8-03) Race Position: 10th . “It’s good to finish in the points, but it’s a shame that a mistake in the pits cost us so much, as I could have done something better. So, overall I feel rather frustrated. But I’ll take the point gladly. After these first two races, we now have a short break before we go racing again and we must use that time to take a close look at how we performed and where we can do better, because there is certainly a lot of room for improvement, as both these two races have been missed opportunities. On the positive side, again today, once we got over our problems I had a good race pace and managed to make up a lot of places.” Daniel Ricciardo (STR8-01) Race Position: 18th . “I compromised my race even before the start when the conditions were very slippery, aquaplaning off at Turn 3. I managed to keep going, but I went across the gravel quite fast and damaged the floor. That probably played a part in my problem at the end. I got a reasonable start and made up a few places and was pretty pleased with the first couple of laps. But I did not have the pace to keep the Lotuses behind me and stay in the top ten, even though the switch to dry tyres was well timed. Like I said, I think the damage on that opening lap affected my overall performance all race long.” . Franz Tost: “An eventful race with the field starting on Intermediates. We timed our switch to slicks well on both cars and Daniel made up a few positions straight away. The midfield battle was very fierce and we had one car at the front, Daniel, and one at the back of this group, Jev. Unfortunately, we had a poor release from Jev’s pit stop and he collided with a Caterham which cost us a lot of time, as we had to pull him back for a new nose. The Stewards have fined us for a dangerous release from a pit stop and we agree with their decision. After that, Jev did a good job to fight back and get into the points ahead of that midfield group, which is quite an achievement on a dry track. The fact our race pace was satisfactory was the most positive point of the race. In Daniel’s case, he went off on the lap to the grid and raced with a damaged floor, so taking that into account and how it affected his car, his performance in those circumstances was also positive. Unfortunately, we had an exhaust issue on his car in the closing laps and decided it was best to retire him in the pits. In general, our race performance was good, but we are too slow in Qualifying. We have to find a way of improving on Saturday afternoons, so that we give ourselves a better start on Sundays.”

The Malaysian Grand Prix brought the first four points for the
Sauber F1 Team in the second race of the new season. At the beginning
the track in Sepang was wet, and all the drivers started the race on
intermediate tyres. However, after only a few laps they changed to dry
tyres. The race was extremely demanding for tyres and, as a result, the
specators saw a lot of pit stops. Both Sauber F1 Team drivers changed
tyres four times. Nico Hülkenberg finished eighth, Esteban Gutiérrez
came in 12th.
Weather: wet, then dry, 24-25°C air, 27-33°C track
Nico Hülkenberg: 8th
Sauber C32-Ferrari (Chassis 01/Ferrari 056) Start on intermediate tyres, after 7 and 21 laps change to medium tyres, after 34 and 44 laps change to hard tyres
“I feel quite well rewarded going home with four points after my
first race of the season in a new team and with a new car. I am quite
happy with how it went, especially at the start of the race when we were
quite quick on the intermediates. But then I was stuck in traffic and
couldn’t find my way past other drivers. I think eighth was well
deserved, considering I had to fight and push a lot today. I think the
potential is there, and now we have to work on a few details.”
Esteban Gutiérrez: 12th
Sauber C32-Ferrari (Chassis 03/Ferrari 056)
Start on intermediate tyres, after 7 laps change to hard tyres,
after 22 and 36 laps change to medium tyres, after 51 laps change to
hard tyres .
“P12 is an ok result, but Ideally we would have liked to finish in
the points. At the end of the race we lost time because we stayed on the
same set of tyres for too long. We tried to change the strategy and I
did my best. That was all we could do at that stage. Overall the weekend
is a step forward and we need to keep working and put everything
together to achieve points.”
