I waited for an opportunity and it didn't come. We were still the quickest on the track today, so it looks good for the championship.

Thanks to luck and thanks to the mechanics who did a perfect stop again.

Sometimes possibilities come along which are just too good to miss. It will be a new beginning for me and a tremendous challenge.

The motivation is even higher than ever this year because we have the number one and two in the team and all the mechanics and engineers are working with much more interest than last year.

The one person I really like to beat is Michael Schumacher because it makes me feel better due to the fact that everyone knows him and what he has done.
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.

This is a fantastic feeling, ... I didn't think anything could equal winning the Drivers' Championship, but seeing our people celebrating, it's just as good! I am really so happy today.

A pretty disappointing result for me really. I made a mistake on my first timed lap at the end of the session and that meant I had to do another one.

And then from 2003 to now I developed myself, my driving style, and I grew up with the team to be in this position.
bad ferrari finish fought four harder last ready seventh teams weekend win year
There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. It will be harder (to win the championship) than last year for sure. Last year, we fought only with McLaren. If you have a very bad weekend you finish fourth. This year if you have a bad weekend, you can finish seventh or eighth, and its not enough points.
