We looked like idiots in Bahrain
Manama : Sergey Sirotkin says that he and his Williams Formula 1 team “looked like idiots” during a poor weekend in Bahrain.
Sirotkin and team mate Lance Stroll started 18th and 20th, and finished in the reverse order on the road in 16th and 17th, although they subsequently gained places from time penalties handed to Sergio Perez and Brendon Hartley.
Despite the lack of pace from the car - which was slower than last year - Sirotkin tried to be upbeat.
“A tough feeling after tough weekend,” said the Russian. “I know we looked like idiots from the outside.
“This is quite obvious to me, and probably the fact that I tried to find some positive in it will sound a bit weird, but I do see some positives.
“Partly with the learning I did as a driver, and learning we did as a team. I see some positives.
“Yes, we definitely looked bad in the results in the race, probably even worse than in qualifying.”
“It is better not even to think about it.”
