To beat Michael this year was really an extra happiness for me. |
To become part of a team with such a desire to succeed and passion for performance is a dream come true for any Formula One driver. Obviously I will be sad to leave Renault but sometimes possibilities come along which are just too good to miss. |
We are ready to fight a bit less conservatively in the last two races, ... I will be more aggressive with how I use the engine, the tires, every part of the car. |
We are the champions, we are the champions, |
We can be competitive there. I need six points. I am very confident it will be possible. |
We did the right thing. We didn't need to take the gamble and played it safe. |
We do not know how reliable Ferrari will be this year. |
We don't have the quickest car but we're taking the opportunities McLaren is giving to us. Tomorrow I hope to have a good start and can even think to win the race. |
We don't need the risks at this point of the championships. |
We had some people in front and sometimes they slow me down. |
We have a new toy. |
We have had an important and productive week. We made good progress for the first race, and now I want to see how we will perform in race conditions against the competition. I am feeling confident, the car is performing well and the team is more motivated than ever. |
We have to be careful we don't do a lot of miles on Friday and Saturday and keep the engine safe for the race on Sunday, |
We have to concentrate and not do any mistakes and finish the race. We have a clear circuit in front of us to pull away and try to get to the podium. |
We seem to be in good shape. The grip levels will improve as more rubber goes down on the track, but at the moment the Renault feels nice to drive and our pace is good. |
