Giedo van der Garde: I have to say that's one of my best ever races. The car was great today and the work the boys did in the stops, they were really on it and that helped a lot in the race.

For the second Grand Prix in a row, Giedo van der Garde was out of the race almost before the dust had settled from the start. And he was not happy with Marussia's Max Chilton.

Giedo van der Garde was having an impressive Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, handily winning the battle of the 'back row teams' - right up until the wheels came off his campaign.

"We were able to keep pace with the Marussia," says Pic. "To be just out of reach of a Williams is very encouraging for the future."

While Australia was hardly a breakthrough performance for Caterham, the team managed to nurse both their cars to the finish line in Melbourne.
