against car conditions feeling good motivated perform performing productive progress race team
We have had an important and productive week. We made good progress for the first race, and now I want to see how we will perform in race conditions against the competition. I am feeling confident, the car is performing well and the team is more motivated than ever.

I am going to do all I can to win again next year.

The conditions were pretty difficult for everyone today. With the position in the championship, we didn't need to risk. Once again I had help from McLaren and was able to take two more points.

It was really, really good. The car performed extremely well again in the race, we were very competitive from the first lap,

At the end the team informed me about the tire problem that Juan Pablo had, ... and I pushed a bit more and we turned the engine up again and tried to put some pressure, but it was too late.

I thought the other one seemed a bit old. I am really happy with the result.
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.

It gives me very good feelings and we are confident of repeating our success of 2005.

I think tomorrow we have a good chance to be on the podium and hopefully fighting for the win,

It is an important race in that I can become champion, but if I don't win on Sunday it is not the end of the world. I will race many years to come.
We are the champions, we are the champions,
tests though win
We'll try to win even though in the tests McLaren was faster.
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.
allowing closer competition fighting front perfect second start stop
This was a good, fighting win. I just concentrated on making no mistakes. The competition is closer than we thought but this is the perfect start for us. The start was good, the second stop perfect, allowing me to come out in front of Michael. Very nice.
