Haug: Painful qualifying result
21 June 2009 / Results / PhotosMercedes Motorsport chief Norbert Haug was not amused with McLaren's qualifying result at Silverstone. While Lewis Hamilton dominated last year's British Grand Prix he will have to start from the last row on Sunday.
"Quite painful for Lewis and everybody at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes to start from the last row after dominating this race last year," said Haug. "He just drove into his last qualifying lap in Q1 when the track was red-flagged. Otherwise a start from as high as the sixth row could have been possible, albeit unlikely. Heikki and his guys did a competent job in extracting what was possible from the car with its deficits in high-speed corners - plenty of which you'll find at Silverstone.
"We'll all stick together through these tough times and everybody will work very hard to come back to where we used to be in the last two years, when Lewis started 21 of his 42 grands prix from the front row. It's time to get back to that place!"
