Jaime Alguersuari was highly disappointed to have been eliminated from British Grand Prix qualifying at the earliest possible point on Saturday. Having pushed hard on his last two laps, the Spaniard's Toro Rosso pitted before the final minute, in which Vitantonio Liuzzi and Force India demoted the Barcelona man to 18th.
Clearly aggravated upon returning to the Toro Rosso pit wall, Alguersuari – in his F1 race at Silverstone – explained that slower cars prevented him from improving.
“I had a lot of trouble with heavy traffic this afternoon and, effectively, I only got one clean lap,” he said.
“It's a shame, as I am sure that without the traffic I could have got through comfortably to Q2 as the pace was easily there in the car, but I did not have enough fuel to do another lap and there would not have been time to go out again after I came into the pits.
“The last three qualifying sessions have not gone very well for me, but let’s see if we can come up with a good strategy for tomorrow and have a better afternoon. I am staying calm about it, because these situations happen now and again and I have to keep looking forward."
