Pastor Maldonado and his Lotus team were relieved when the Venezuelan scored his first points of the 2015 season for the season when he finished seventh in the Canadian Grand Prix.
Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, Maldonado reflected on his weekend in Montreal, "We weren’t sure how we would be with the tyre degradation, but actually the car felt fine."
"Of course, I couldn’t push flat out as we wanted to keep to a one-stop strategy as that offered the best opportunity for a good result, but everything worked as we wanted it to. It was good to have an uneventful race and finish in the points," he declared, clearly savouring only his second points finish in Lotus colours.
"There was a fantastic reaction from everyone in the team and it was great to be part of the team at that moment when I walked back to the garage seeing how everyone was happy for me."
"Everyone has worked so hard this year and last year too, so it’s really great when you finish a race in the points. This is what we want to do at every Grand Prix and what we want in Austria next," added Maldonado.
