Jerome d'Ambrosio says he needs to improve his qualifying performances if he wants to match his Virgin team-mate Timo Glock.
D'Ambrosio has made a solid start to his Formula One career, but has been outqualified by Glock in six of the eight races so far, with the average gap in lap time between them standing at over half a second. In races that they have both finished, however, d'Ambrosio matches his team-mate with each having beaten the other twice.
D'Ambrosio said that he was still on a steep learning curve in Formula One, and that Glock's experience paid dividends, especially in qualifying.
"Clearly I still need to improve my Saturdays," d'Ambrosio told La Libre. "His experience is the most prominent on stop and go tracks like Valencia, or Canada where there is little grip and braking is therefore difficult. I still have more to understand to get the last tenths in those conditions. But I'm not ashamed to say he was simply stronger. What I'm thrilled about is that on race pace, I was consistently with his times."
