Russian admits difficult winter without drive secured in F1
Vitaly Petrov has admitted he was relieved to be given a chance with Caterham this season after spending the winter without a drive.
The Russian was dropped by Renualt (now Lotus) after publicly criticising the team at the end of the 2011 season.But after a winter spent on the sidelines he was given a late reprieve when he replaced veteran Jarno Trulli at Caterham, despite the Italian driving for the team during the first test in Jerez.
"It was obviously a pretty tough winter. It would be the same for anyone who wasn't sure what their job would be in the New Year," Petrov told the official Formula One website.
"But even though it was difficult at times, I never lost the belief that it would come good and that's what has happened. As soon as we knew the situation with Renault we started working on a solution.
"And Caterham were always the best option, and the one that I saw most potential in, so it's been really good to get the situation sorted out. I'm not so much relieved but happy to be in my new team." - http://www1.skysports.com/
