Nick Heidfeld (No. 9 BMW Sauber F1 Team): “I had a hydraulic failure in the end that let to the problems with the power steering. After that, I could not shift anymore. In the very end, the throttle did not work at all. So I had to stop. In the beginning was OK. I made up one position on the start. Then the pace was reasonable. I think we would have had a chance to fight with the Ferraris, probably even for a podium. But then right before my first stop, I spun. Just overlocked the wheel and couldn’t hold it anymore, resulting in me flat spotting my tire. Then I had to let by Kovalainen, and Kimi overtook me with a lot better top speed. But I still managed to get out in front of them again after my first pit stop, because I did some good laps. But then in the end the car failed. ”
