Disappointing race two for Racing Engineering

Disappointing race two for Racing Engineering

22 June 2008

It was a disappointing day for Racing Engineering in today's Sprint Race with Giorgio Pantano retiring and Javier Villa finishing 10th as all the teams struggled in very difficult conditions.

Team boss Alfonso de Orleans Borbón commented, "After yesterday's celebration it's been quite a disappointment and we didn't achieve the results today. Both cars were in perfect condition and the boys did a great job. Sadly Giorgio's race was ended by contact with Petrov."

Javier Villa added, "It was a difficult race. The track was completely wet, but we know that after a few laps, it would dry up. At the end of the race I went very quickly and I enjoyed the race. I didn't have a good position, but this is also due to the conditions."

Giorgio Pantano concluded, "The conditions this morning were very difficult. I decided to start on wet tyres and to take advantage of the wet track. When it dried up, we switched to slicks and it was too late then. Then I had the contact with Petrov that finished my race."
