Albers out of luck in Spa qualifying session

Christijan Albers will have to start Sunday's 1000km of Spa from 11th position with his team-mates Giorgio Mondini and Christian Bakkerud. Albers had hoped for more but due to the wrong choice of tyres the Dutchman had to settle with 11th.

"I think we could have done much better here if it wasn't for the softer compound," Albers said. "In the morning we were among the top five easily but in qualifying we decided to use the softer tyre compound instead of the quicker medium compound.

"We'll just have to deal with it now and make an early stop to change to the medium compound on Sunday but I'm positive we can move up the order."
