conditions far shown strong
So far we have shown we are strong in all conditions on all tracks.
avoid bit cars conditions crossed fingers quite rains time track wet
The conditions were not perfect, quite windy and the track was a little bit dirty. We all have our fingers crossed to avoid a wet track, but if it rains it will be the first time we are all in the wet in 2006 and we'll see how the cars behave.
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.
again conditions difficult help position
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.
bit happy seemed
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.
confident feelings gives good repeating success
It gives me very good feelings and we are confident of repeating our success of 2005.
chance fighting good hopefully tomorrow
I think tomorrow we have a good chance to be on the podium and hopefully fighting for the win,
race sunday 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.
dedicate fantastic fighting fights-and-fighting mechanics pit stops win
This was a good, fighting win and I want to dedicate it to the mechanics and the team, for some fantastic pit stops and the right strategy.
