\"gal11\"<\/a>Felix suffered a return of the understeer issues that plagued him in yesterday’s opening race to take the chequered flag in seventh in Race 2 at Hockenheim on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

After pole-sitter Max Verstappen was forced out of contention with gearbox issues before the race got underway, Felix started the event from fifth on the grid, and initially ran fourth after a good start. He eventually dropped back to eighth, however,\u00a0unable to defend\u00a0his position in the top\u00a0five as the understeer issues forced him off the throttle at the exit of corners.<\/p>\n

He was ultimately able to nick past Felix Serrall\u00e9s with an around-the-outside move at the Spitzkehre, grabbing seventh in the closing stages of the race.<\/p>\n

Race\u00a03, the final heat of the weekend,\u00a0gets underway this afternoon.<\/p>\n

FELIX:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It was the same thing today as yesterday; understeering and lock-up issues. We really thought we’d come to terms with that following the second qualifying session yesterday afternoon, but apparently we haven’t. We just have\u00a0to keep on working and try to identify what causes\u00a0these problems. I had four old tyres in this race while the majority of the others were on two new,\u00a0which\u00a0is part of the reason,\u00a0but we definitely have to find a better balance overall for the next race.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
