Everything here has been very positive all weekend and I'm full of confidence for all the team, |
Fernando is at Renault another year. In 2007 he would want to stay - as long as Renault are competitive. But if by then, or 2008, Ferrari are above our level then anything is possible. This year the tyre was a big factor for Ferrari. But there was a lot else wrong with their car. They need a lot of work to catch up. |
For me it's the perfect start to the championship. Eighteen points in two races is what I dreamed of before Bahrain. |
For the drivers, it will not change too much. I think the challenge is more for the teams and engineers, finding the right strategy and working very quickly. Last year, we had one opportunity for a quick lap. Now, we have at least three occasions when we have to set a lap time. |
For the future, it will be a good fight because he is very young. We can be in Formula One a very long time. I am really happy and confident for next year because the potential is here in the team. |
For the money, I think he will not come here. |
For the team it has been a fantastic season. It was not crucial but quite important for the team for the motivation for next year. |
Formula One is a strange world but if you have clear values, you can maintain the separation between truth and fiction. If people praise you, you cannot let it go to your head, because at the next race you could be criticized. |
He might get on the podium but I could do the same on bikes. |
He never makes mistakes and competes in all circumstances. |
He overtook me for a tenth of a second. He passed really quick. I was lucky enough to not touch. Basically the speed was too quick and I had no reaction. I was lucky. |
Honda, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault have been the four big teams in winter testing, and now we must check in the opening races. |
I am a little bit surprised to be on pole position but the car was perfect. |
I am extremely happy and it is a big day for me. I did a good race, I thought we would fight McLaren but it was not possible, |
I am extremely happy and it is a very emotional day for me, |
