crucial fantastic motivation next quite team
For the team it has been a fantastic season. It was not crucial but quite important for the team for the motivation for next year.
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.
engineers higher interest last mechanics motivation number team year
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.
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.
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.
ferrari four ready teams win
There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault.
check four opening teams winter
Honda, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault have been the four big teams in winter testing, and now we must check in the opening races.
ability both confident defend driver help helped plans sure team titles
I'm sure they'll help me like they've always helped me and that nothing will really change. I don't think it's in Renault's plans to help one driver more than the other, and I'm 100% confident with the team in our ability to defend both our titles this year.
zero nice team
Creating a top team and being in a position to win the Tour de France will give me a nice feeling. But I know it is not easy to create a top team from zero. You need good riders, good staff, a lot of preparation and, most important, a lot of sponsors.
team winning world
If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.
challenge change finding lap last occasions opportunity quick strategy teams three
For the drivers, it will not change too much. I think the challenge is more for the teams and engineers, finding the right strategy and working very quickly. Last year, we had one opportunity for a quick lap. Now, we have at least three occasions when we have to set a lap time.
ferrari future interested next race team win
I don't see any future at Ferrari for me. To be honest, I've never really been interested in that team at all. I want to race for a team that can win races, and that is Renault this year, but McLaren next year.
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.
coming cross enjoy laps last line opposite people team victory
The last 10 laps went really slowly. I just wanted to cross the line and enjoy the victory with the team and the grandstand opposite the pits where most of the people were coming from the Renault factory.
