Jérôme d’Ambrosio declared himself happy after recording his tenth straight race finish at his home Grand Prix in Belgium on Sunday, crossing the line in 17th ahead of Virgin Racing team-mate Timo Glock. With both cars reaching the chequered flag, d’Ambrosio has hailed the result as ‘a great way’ to enter the final eight races of the season.
"I’m pretty happy about my race I have to say and I was very comfortable with the car balance," the GP2 graduate said. "It was quite difficult at the start as there was a lot of debris and at one point I thought I had a problem but in the end it was a smooth race.
"It was also a bit tough in the last laps of the race trying to save fuel. It was the first time I ever had to do that so I had to try to adapt. It was something different but that’s just more experience for me and it worked out okay. I’m very pleased how things went in my first home Grand Prix.
"There were quite a few incidents today so I focused on keeping it nice and clean and in the end the team has another good two-car result. It’s been a great way to start part two of the season."
