Haryanto satisfied with sprint race victory

Rio Haryanto took victory in todays GP2 Sprint Race and after the race, he shared his feelings with GP2Series.com.

"It was a really tough one especially since we’ve seen in qualifying that the difference in performance between the cars is small. During the race, the difference is still small and I think that with the DRS the guy behind me was easily catching me down the straight. That was the hardest part of the race because I tried to pull a gap in sector 2 and in the end they caught me back in sectors 1 and 3. It was tough, but I’ve done everything I could: I tried to push really hard and make no mistake."

"At one point Markelov tried to overtake me down turn 3. I was able to avoid him because he dove at the last minute. I opened the door and I tried to cut back him but we had a contact and it damaged my front wing. After that, the car was struggling with under steer. I didn’t give up. I tried to do the best I could. To get my second victory is amazing."
