Crazy race brings RD 13th position

Race 01 in Hockenheim (ninth championshipround) provided lots of action for everyone today. As the track was drying up, but still was quite slippery, many drivers got over their limit and went off. Robert (starting from P25 after a desastrious qualifying due to a wrong set-up) kept his head cool in order to finish 13th in a race won by Timo Glock. For sure a good performance by Robert, but the man himself found it all pretty astonishing. Robert: "This morning the team decided to run a dry set-up at my car, but that was definitely the wrong decision as it was raining cats and dogs. On the grid we made another mistake by changing to slick tyres to slow and that resulted into a drive-trough penalty for me ,which stole any chance off a pointfinish"!
