(Williams Martini Racing)
Williams Martini Racing's Head of Vehicle Performance Rob Smedley has hit out a Sahara Force India for not retiring Sergio Perez from the Canadian Grand Prix following the pairs horrific crash at 180mph at a force of 27G.
Speaking about the incident, Smedley said:
'Perez braked very, very early. Either he jinked his car to the left, or because of brake problems it jinked to the left, I don't know.'
Fortunately neither driver was injured. Despite this, Smedley went on to say:
'I think it was lap 67, [he was] talking about having no rear brakes. So they told him to carry on if he could, and if you can't then to pit, which seems to me to be a fairly f***ing terminal problem to be honest.'
Despite Massa's accident, the Williams Martini Racing Team scored another point's finish which was their seventh point's scoring finish in a row this season and as a result they are in 6th in the Constructors championship on 58 point's, eight behind McLaren.
The Williams team have had their best start to a Formula One season in a number of years however they believe that they have been unlucky and have been unable to get the maximum potential from the FW36 which is unfortunate as the car proved to be the class of the field during winter testing. However it is only a matter of time before the Grove based squad score their first podium of 2014.
