The tire change doesn't help Michelin. |
The tyre change doesn't help Michelin. We maybe will lose one of our advantages. The car is a little slow because of the new rules. |
There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. |
There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. It will be harder (to win the championship) than last year for sure. Last year, we fought only with McLaren. If you have a very bad weekend you finish fourth. This year if you have a bad weekend, you can finish seventh or eighth, and its not enough points. |
There's nothing new on our car since Australia. |
These eight points are like a victory to me. |
Things change. It's a new story. Renault has been my family from the time I came into formula one. I gave them a lot and they gave me a lot. But I think I've finished a stage in my career. When you come to the end of a contract you can choose and I've chosen what I believe is the best team for my future. But it's important to leave in the best possible way. The motivation for this season is even higher because we have the No1 and No2 on the car. |
Things seem closer between us and McLaren than they have been in the last few races, and although it will be very difficult to beat them, maybe it's not impossible. |
This is a fantastic feeling, ... I didn't think anything could equal winning the Drivers' Championship, but seeing our people celebrating, it's just as good! I am really so happy today. |
This is a fantastic feeling. |
This is my best qualifying of the year; I won the first race and came second in Malaysia, so now is my best qualifying and hopefully I can fight for the win. |
This is probably the best of the three that I've had so far, ... It was difficult, but at the end I managed to be fast. |
This is the maximum I can achieve in my life and my career, |
This was a good, fighting win and I want to dedicate it to the mechanics and the team, for some fantastic pit stops and the right strategy. |
This was a good, fighting win. I just concentrated on making no mistakes. The competition is closer than we thought but this is the perfect start for us. The start was good, the second stop perfect, allowing me to come out in front of Michael. Very nice. |
