[So what does it feel like to be the youngest ever champion?] How do I feel? ... For sure, it is a dream come true for me, like any racing driver, to win the Formula One World Championship, but I am 24 and after this I think there is not much to do. I am the youngest World Champion in Formula One and now I need to find new targets because this one is over. |
[The prize] comes during a fantastic year and crowns the season, |
28 points in three races is a dream come true. It's the start of the season, so let's hope we finish like last year. |
A pretty disappointing result for me really. I made a mistake on my first timed lap at the end of the session and that meant I had to do another one. |
All season has been a dream come true for Renault, even more because it is four years since Renault came into Formula One and now we are champions. It was not an easy job to do. |
Although it will be very difficult to beat them, maybe it's not impossible. |
And then from 2003 to now I developed myself, my driving style, and I grew up with the team to be in this position. |
As Michael said, it was difficult to overtake, almost impossible unless you make a mistake. |
As Michael said, it was difficult to overtake, almost impossible unless you make a mistake. I waited for an opportunity, it didn't come but I am happy ? it is still eight points is better for me. |
At the beginning I had a better car, in the middle of the season he had a better car with more mechanical problems than me, so I won the drivers championship a little bit before the end. |
At the end the team informed me about the tire problem that Juan Pablo had, ... and I pushed a bit more and we turned the engine up again and tried to put some pressure, but it was too late. |
Conditions were pretty difficult today, |
Enjoy and concentrate to do the job. |
Everybody wants to beat Michael on the track, ... In the first year he is not racing, maybe the title doesn't have the same feeling, so it was really an extra for me. |
Everyone wants to beat Michael on the track because it is the same as beating (Lance) Armstrong in the Tour de France, |
