Not exactly, but I'm always suspicious of these excuses - I would have done better except for .... Toro Rosso's Vitantonio Liuzzi:
"I think it's a shame that Sato pulled a crazy move at Turn 4 and compromised my race, as everything was going well," said Liuzzi. "But I collided with him and then that meant I also touched [my team-mates] Scott [Speed]'s rear tyre and had to come in for a new nose. A shame, as I felt my race pace was really strong and we could have done a lot better in terms of the final result."
At least his teammate, Scott Speed had the good sense to praise his mechanics.
"The guys worked very hard over the past couple of weeks so I am just glad for them that I was able to bring the car home and finish the race. We learnt a lot this weekend and I think we should be able to perform slightly better in Bahrain."
Yeah, I really think those Toro Rosso cars will run better in Bahrain.
