account completed focusing lack laps mainly running taking testing time tire work
Testing went really well this week, particularly taking into account the lack of running time in the mornings. I completed a lot of laps as we are focusing mainly on tire testing and reliability work at the moment.
certainly fantastic forward front good grid hard job less looking looks overnight positive race row struggling team thank tomorrow tough wait work yesterday
The team has done a fantastic job to get us on the front row of the grid and I have to thank them for that. Things were looking a lot less positive yesterday when we were really struggling to find a good set-up. A lot of hard work was done overnight and tomorrow looks promising, but let's wait and see. This is always a tough race but I'm certainly looking forward to it.
bahrain circuit completed few finding focusing gone good last mostly test work
The test has gone very well over the last few days. We have completed a lot of laps, mostly focusing on tyre testing, but also doing reliability work and finding a good set-up around the Bahrain circuit before the first race.
bit catch gone good point race work
There was no point in the race when we could have gone quicker. It's good to get on the podium. We've got a bit of work to do to catch up.
achieve bad conditions data evening hoped improving losing morning order quite testing three track weeks work
Not a bad first day. Having said that it's disappointing that we couldn't achieve as much data as we'd hoped for after losing all of the morning session. The track conditions are quite different to those we encountered in testing here three weeks ago so we have some work to do this evening with today's data in order to keep improving for qualifying.
car equally fast front hard next races several team work
Alonso has a very fast car at the moment. His car is still in front of mine, so me and my team need to work hard in the next several races before we can be equally competitive with Renault.
bit car conditions couple expected forward hotter races seems shows steps strange struggling style suit taken time winter works
I think that the way this car works doesn't suit his style and he's taken a little bit of time to get used to it, but the strange thing is that over the winter he was very competitive. It seems that when the conditions are hotter he is struggling a bit more with the car - and that shows that the car is not where we wanted it to be or where we expected it to be for these first two races of the season. It shows we need to make steps forward in a couple of places...
raining stop
It is disappointing but we can't stop it raining here,
difficult shaking stay tricky
I'm still shaking with the excitement. It was really difficult to stay calm. It's just so tricky out there with the conditions. It was very very windy.
difficult hectic lap mad shaking time trying
I'm still shaking with the excitement. It was a very hectic session, it was mad for us. Trying to get a lap time in was very difficult but we managed it.

I would like to thank Frank Williams for accommodating a compromise to what was a binding contract,
achieving building delighted effort forward goal gone honda near next opportunity partner past privilege support team thank three today together win
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the Team, at Honda and our tyre partner Michelin for their support over the past three years. The effort that has gone into building this team into what it is today has been relentless. It's been a privilege to be a part of B*A*R Honda and I am delighted that I will be part of its future. I look forward to achieving our next goal - our first win together - in the very near future.

We had a positive weekend in Turkey and I'm sure we can improve our pace and have a competitive weekend in Monza.
driving enjoyed fast flying good hamilton jets lewis life realised suppose tag took woke
Yeah, I'm the Brit who isn't Lewis Hamilton that woke up and realised he was good. I got that tag because I was young, flying around in jets and driving fast cars. I always took my driving seriously, but I suppose I enjoyed life... But I'm not a playboy.
