This was a very different race to the other two so far this season. In Bahrain, I was fighting with Michael Schumacher all the way and in Malaysia it was Jenson Button and I battling for second place, but in Melbourne it was quite comfortable. There were no fights and I was very relaxed for a lot of the race.

best came country fact fight help maybe michael people proud schumacher taken three title tradition won
I won the championship with maybe not the best car, so I am proud of what I did. The fact that I have taken over the title from Michael Schumacher is a bonus. I came from a country with no tradition in F1. I had to fight my way alone. I have only had the help of two or three people in my career, no more.

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

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