Свободные заезды (пятница):
"I am cautiously optimistic after today as it was a good lap, but we don't know
what the others were doing. The car is not quite as good as it was in last week's test
here, so now we must work on the set-up. I have always had a good feeling about this race
and that has been confirmed today. The car is well balanced, we made progress in last
week's test and the tyres are going to be good for the race."
Квалификация (суббота):
"I had expected to split the McLarens on the grid today, so I am bit disappointed.
The car and the tyres were very good, but I was unlucky with yellow flags which lost me
two tenths of a second in the first section, while my section two and three times were
very good. Then, before my last run I was pulled back from the pit lane exit as there were
more yellow flags. After that, I think my tyres might not have been quite warm enough. All
the same, I think we can give McLaren a good run for their money in the race."
Гонка (воскресенье):
"I made a great second start and then I had Mika breathing down my neck for almost
the whole race. We have had lots of 1-3 finishes and this feels much better. It is also
ideal for the championship. I did not try to push too hard at the start and tried to drive
steadily. Mika got closer when I was held up by backmarkers but here it is easy to keep
someone behind you. I knew he was going to have a go at the last corner as I was entering
slowly because my rear wheels were always locking up on the down-change. Luckily, the
first time, he made a mistake and on the last lap I slid a bit wide. This result shows we
have made a step forward and can fight for the title."
