The Campos GP2 Team to the complete one wants to transmit our total acceptance of the sanction that has imposed after the second race of the GP2 Series in Silverstone's British circuit and that has supposed Félix Porteiro's disqualification.

The spanish driver had realized a great race, obtaining on the track his first podium of the GP2 Series on having finished second after the british Lewis Hamilton.

In the later technical regulations, the Stewards detected a piece badly placed in the car number 25 of the Campos GP2 Team, for what they chose to excluded Félix Porteiro. In concrete, the sanction was caused because the position of the zipper of direction was not corresponding to the geometry of the front suspension.

The disqualification was owed therefore exclusively to a human mistake in the placement of this piece, which had been mounted upside-down, and that though in no case premeditation has existed, we have clear that the regulation does not leave place to the discussion, in spite of the fact that the assembly of the mentioned piece does not concern the improvement of the characteristics of the car.

In this sense, in the own comunicate emitted by the stewards there is reflected clearly that in spite of the fact that no type of premeditation has existed on the part of the team and that the mentioned piece does not concern the improvement of the characteristics of the car, the regulation is clear and another option does not leave that the exclussion of the driver for a technical irregularity.

For it, we would like to be sorry this incident, as well as publicly we apologize to our driver Félix Porteiro, who sees as dissapear he great work that he had realized on the track and that had allowed him to obtain his first podium in the category.
