avoiding barely bit came car choice field following front gamble hit late losing maintain pace pit safety stopped turned worked
It was a bit of a gamble and as it turned out it was not the right choice. When I came out I was barely able to maintain the pace of the safety car and we went to the back after we stopped again. I worked my way back up through the field but late on I was following Monteiro when he accidently hit the pit limiter button. I had no way of avoiding him and I hit him, losing my front wing and going off into the wall.
against bahrain choice cold course ensure good mainly package short stand step sure warmer week worked
This week we mainly worked on the tyre choice for Bahrain . We worked on long and short runs, but the temperature has been too cold for us. I am sure that a warmer temperature will ensure that we are more competitive. The new aerodynamic package has been a good step forward. All in all we have done a lot work, but of course we will find out in Bahrain how we stand up against the other teams.
bad best circuit expecting forecast fun hoping hugely impact intensity last likely pole positive rain testing took tough vary weather weekend wet year
We were expecting this to be a wet weekend, and the weather forecast is still bad so it's likely to be a tough weekend because we haven't done much wet testing this year. Spa is the best circuit in the world, and the most fun to drive, but the intensity of the rain can vary hugely so that can have a big impact on circuit conditions. Still, it will be the same for everyone. Last year I took pole in the wet here so we'll be hoping for a positive result.
advantage although cannot car feels hopefully mileage optimistic prepared problems race ready solve sure terms tried work
Hopefully this will give us an advantage for this year. We cannot say we will be the best, but for sure we will be very well prepared with the new car in terms of mileage and experience. We've tried to solve all the problems and get ready for the first race. Now we're doing very well, and it feels good, although there's still a lot of work to be done in the run-up to the first race and beyond. I am optimistic and confident.
came held lap slow
(Michael) was on a slow lap and didn't let me by. He just came out of the pits and held me up all the way around his lap, which I don't think was fair.
add car finish priority
My first priority will be to get the car to the finish and add to my championship total,
