13 May 2007 - For the second consecutive race, the Etihad Aldar Spyker Formula One Team has achieved a double finish, with Adrian Sutil 13th and Christijan Albers 14th respectively. In a race of attrition that saw one third of the field fail to finish, both Spykers ran reliably to the end to secure the team’s best result of the season so far. With this result, the team moves into 10th position in the constructors’ championship.

Adrian Sutil had a consistent race, lapping within half a second of the Aguri of Anthony Davidson and the Toyota of Ralf Schumacher for the first half of the race. As more competitors dropped out, Adrian moved up the order to 13th by his first pit stop on lap 23. In his second stint, the 24-year-old German then kept the Honda of Jenson Button at bay until a stall during his second pit stop on lap 47 dropped him back behind the Briton. Undeterred, Adrian pushed hard to keep in touch with Button and finish the race a solid 13th position overall.
