Schumacher and Spengler pleased with Austrian race

Ralf Schumacher and Bruno Spengler were the top Mercedes drivers in the race at Red Bull Ring in Austria with second and fourth position respectively.
“Second place and my second podium are a good result for me. I was fast all weekend here in Spielberg and hope I can continue this form in the coming races,” said Schumacher.

Schumacher closed in on leading Martin Tomczyk towards the end of the race, but was not able to get past.
“I tried everything to get past Martin Tomczyk, but I couldn’t do it in the end,” said Schumacher.

Spengler turned around his dreadful qualifying session and climbed from 12th on the grid to finish fourth, enabling him to keep the championship lead with three points over Tomczyk.
“This was a great race. After starting from twelfth, I am very satisfied with fourth place. The set-up on my C-Class perfect and the car was really quick. I was able to do consistently quick lap times – that was the key to the race. Thanks to my team for a great strategy and a great job!” said Spengler.
