begin circuit coming exciting ferrari fighting four fun perfect race teams time type win
It was the perfect way to begin the year. We had a very exciting race for the spectators. As we thought from testing, there are four teams fighting to win at any type of circuit - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. We can all win races, so it will be a fun time in the coming weeks.
impossible people recognize spain
It's impossible to live in Spain because the people recognize me too much and they get crazy.
current fantastic
It would be fantastic for the spectators. I don't really like the current procedure, which I think is boring.
developed driving grew team
And then from 2003 to now I developed myself, my driving style, and I grew up with the team to be in this position.
good japan matter people races talk winning
People will talk about winning the championship there and I will try to do it if I can. But any of the races are good for it. Brazil, Japan or China. It doesn't matter to me.
came dream easy formula four job season since true
All season has been a dream come true for Renault, even more because it is four years since Renault came into Formula One and now we are champions. It was not an easy job to do.
above catch factor ferrari level stay work wrong year
Fernando is at Renault another year. In 2007 he would want to stay - as long as Renault are competitive. But if by then, or 2008, Ferrari are above our level then anything is possible. This year the tyre was a big factor for Ferrari. But there was a lot else wrong with their car. They need a lot of work to catch up.
beat everybody extra maybe michael title wants year
Everybody wants to beat Michael on the track, ... In the first year he is not racing, maybe the title doesn't have the same feeling, so it was really an extra for me.
bit damaged nice possible slower surprise
I thought overtaking him was not possible but he had damaged his car, went wide, and I overtook him, so it was a nice surprise at the end but it is a bit disappointing because we were a bit slower than them.
confidence full positive weekend
Everything here has been very positive all weekend and I'm full of confidence for all the team,
achieved help
I am not old but I have achieved a lot. This things can only help me in my career.
close fight front good next opportunity three wait
I think he did a good race, and if he started from the front it would have been a close fight again, between two or three cars, so we'll wait for the next (race) and the opportunity to see him in a more competitive start.
build help rules teams
The new rules don't help anyone. Everyone has to build a new engine. At the end of the day, the same 3-4 teams will be at the top.
close exit front knew perfect pit pushed race stop
It was my moment. I knew if I was in front of him at the exit of the pits the race was for me. I pushed and a perfect pit stop from the mechanics. I was in front of him. Very close but in front.
