Mapes-VO Manager Matt Maple can not say how delighted he is having two cars on the grid after all the conroversy of the last few days.

"The situation with Artur didnt involve myself at all and we were very sorry to let him go. We had spoke to Ahlers before though in a possibly move as a test driver and when we asked him to cover he was more than happy."

Peter-VO put in a good performance for the team qualifying 10th after being able to do under 10laps on the circuit beforehand.

"Peter was great as usual, he just stepped into the car and went, it was like 'woooooosh' he got to grips with it well in the end and 10th made me happy".

As far as the race goes the team hopes to improve, "i think now we have some time to get sorted after everything we can do better in the race, if we get some points i would be delighted but its 'early days' yet and i wont promise anything nor will i discourage from the fact that in Formula One 'Anything Can Happen'".
