Race 1:
Barcelona driver, who started from fourth position, was finally fifth.
Costa came fourth after qualifying with low downforce. Started well but the left mirror fell
and Jean Eric Vergne advanced him on the outside of the track.
Albert came up and pressed to Guerrieri, who had been advanced by Vergne, to try one of the
overtaking to which we are accustomed.
However, the car is going back and degradation in the tires made the Epsilon Euskadi driver lost
several seconds per lap.
Under these circumstances, Berthon caught Albert. However, the Spaniard, once again
demonstrating the incredible talent he has, withstood the pressure and passing attempts for
seven laps. Finally crossed the finish line in fifth position.
This has allowed him to finish third in the rookies and therefore the podium. Furthermore, adding
these points, Albert is located just one point behind fourth-placed overall in the championship.
Albert: "We had high expectations for this race but given the circumstances, the fifth position is
positive and leaves me in fourth place just one point. This morning, we worked well in the qualifying
session and our performance at the beginning of the race was very good. He had to reach the fourth
position when the car started to go back. It was becoming difficult to steer the car and the effort I
made mid-career in the future to maintain the position has been titanic. Now analyze the data to see
what happened to try to provide a great result tomorrow to the fans".
Race 2:
Albert Costa started from twelfth place after problems in qualifying. A fully wet race only allowed to
Albert being tenth and score one point.
Sunday's race with high downforce, promised much more than Saturday. In the free test on Friday,
Albert showed he was very fast with high downforce and ended the session in second position.
However, weather conditions have prevented a podium, after an excellent season.
Finished tenth after a difficult race for Catalan but positive for learning. The Epsilon Euskadi driver
was happy after all laps in which he has run in the rain as he says, is a very good experience for the
future.
In the debut year he has managed to finish the championship in fifth place with the same points as the
fourth. It has also been the second best rookie of the year and his performance, considering that he
missed the preseason, has been at the highest level.
Albert thinks and start working towards next year and deal with maximum intensity preseason preparing
his physic and improving his technique further.
