member objective races win
My objective is to win races and world championships as a member of McLaren-Mercedes,
corner good quick race win
I will try to win the race because we have a quick car. If we get through the first corner without problems, I can have a good race. I have nothing to lose.
deserved few happened laps last perfect race team
We had a perfect race and it was unfortunate for the team what happened in the last few laps because we could have had a one-two and we deserved it,
dramatic hoping less race
I am hoping to have a less dramatic race this year.
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?
perfect race
It was a perfect race for the team.
race won
I would have won the race but for that,
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.
car good happened nice race strong yesterday
It was disappointing what happened yesterday because the car was good with a good set-up and we started last. It's nice to see we were strong in the race and could have been strong in qualifying.
motivation thinking race
There's always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people think.
years race track
Where I went off, you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year, I'll make sure it's open again.
years race missing
When I did some Nascar races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side, to race against each other, because in rallying you really race against the clock.
race paper
You don’t drive races on paper.
team winning race
Im winning races, Im still challenging for the world championships, the team is fantastic and I have a great relationship with everybody here - so why would I want to even consider changing?
