Giancarlo Fisichella has declared himself disappointed and frustrated after a poor qualifying session.
The Italian driver is competing in his 200th race this weekend, but only qualified last. He also had to change his gearbox, so he would/has been hit with a 5 place drop.
The Force India driver blames Rubens Barrichello for getting in the way of his hot lap, but the Brazilian has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the FIA Officials.
“It was a disappointing qualifying session and, in fact, whole day,” said Fisichella.
“This morning I had a problem with the gearbox and we had to change it, so I would have been penalised five places anyway, but then it was only ready about 14:05 so we didn’t have enough time to do three runs.
“My first run was not great, but the second was better but then I lost the chance to do a quick lap as I got caught behind Barrichello just after the swimming pool as he was slowing down. Very very frustrating.”
