affect bit good grip levels quite rain seemed slippery track
The new track is quite interesting and my first impressions are positive. It was a bit slippery out there particularly as there was a little bit of rain which seemed to affect the grip levels a lot - but I think we are in good shape.
aiming time
It's been a long time already that we have had not much to lose, we can only gain. So that's what we're aiming for.
continues good hope start weekend
A good start to the weekend and let's hope it continues this way,
might tricky
It might be tricky tomorrow, but we'll see how it goes,
difficult races
It is important for us to get back in the championship, there are very many races to go but it always makes it more difficult if you are behind.
bit cars damage exciting happen lap luckily past quite ran rear touched wheel wide
Montoya touched me on the rear wheel a little bit and got sideways, and he got past me but luckily enough we didn't damage our cars so it was all right, ... The first lap was quite exciting anyhow, but I ran wide in the chicane and then unfortunately for him he had something happen to him and he went off.
perfect race
It was a perfect race for the team.
fight flat focus hard last prepared rest team title winning
Congratulations to Fernando, but he better be prepared for me and the team to fight him hard for the rest of the season. I will now focus on winning the constructors title for the team and go flat out for the last two races.
hard races win wind
It could have been a 1-2. We just need to keep working hard and win more races and see where we wind up.
difference guess hit missed ran wider
I missed it and I guess he ran a little wider and hit it so it was unfortunate for him and the team, but in the end I don't think it would have made any difference to the championship.
almost caught forward happy looking
Fernando almost caught me right at the end, but now I am looking forward to the race. I am very happy with the performance.
bad next race seems win
It seems to be always that when we have a bad race we ... we seem to win the next race.
bad question
It's always the same question about bad luck. It's nothing I can change.
changing consider doubt fastest feeling races winning
There's no doubt we have the fastest package, I'm winning races and I'm feeling well in the team, so why would I even consider changing teams?
