Timo Glock
Glock had a brief but exciting race before a broken track rod put him out.
I had a problem at the start and then lost position to Lucas, but I had a really good first lap and overtook Lucas and Jarno Trulli at Loews. This got me into a good position behind Heikki Kovalainen and I could go a similar speed to him, but I had a bit too much tyre degradation on the rear and some problems with the brakes as well. Unfortunately in Casino corner, the rear suspension failed, which ended my race, so we now have to investigate and understand why that happened.

Lucas di Grassi
Lucas di Grassi enjoyed his brief battle with Alonso before a technical problem on the old-specification VR-01 ended his race:
The first part of my race today was good. I overtook Timo and had a good fight with Fernando for a couple of laps, but then as soon as we made the pitstop we had a wheel problem that forced us to abandon the race.

The team later confirmed their were problems with all the wheels fitted during the pit stop.

Problems with all 4 wheels?! Perhaps there was a lack of pressure to the wheel guns or something.
