amazing season title today won
It has been an amazing season and today we have won the constructors' title for Yamaha...so I am very happy,
beach came everybody felt holidays strange today
Today was a strange day because we all came back from the holidays and it felt like everybody was still in the beach rhythm!
bike changes corners fast few full good lap looking lots means potential problems quite riders speed team today tried vibration within work yesterday
We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong.
crash emotion equal great numbers problems race record today vibration win
It's great to equal Mick's record but the numbers are not the most important thing today because this win was a great emotion after my problems with the crash in the first race and some vibration problems with my new bike.
along car driving ease experience felt formula maybe particular time wet
It has been a very interesting test, considering how it was the first time I lapped in a Formula One car along with other drivers. I have to say I felt at ease and had no particular problems. Maybe I need a little more experience of driving on a wet track.

Our bike worked really well when we went to Qatar for pre-season testing so we hope that this will be the case again.

Records are not the most important thing but I am very happy to have the same number of victories as 'Mike the Bike',

I thought it was possible but then I decided it was too risky and after that I knew that the lap was gone and I had lost my advantage.

I'm happy because the bike worked well. I was confident of a pole position but Nicky set a fantastic lap time ... and second position for tomorrow is not so bad.

When it's difficult like this, the taste (of winning) is better.
