Another few feet and he would have had me in the wall. |
Flavio, he has the bloody crystal ball...he's so bloody sharp, he knows. He has a great bullshit meter. |
Getting away hasn't been our strength, |
He did a very slow lap, then an even slower in-lap, which compromised my qualifying but that's how it goes, |
He stuffed his qualifying lap up, he saved a lot of fuel and he stuffed up my lap. It's a very important corner to get right and it's even harder to get right when there's traffic. |
He's not, so we have to get the next long-term charger in and if it's Nico that's great. It's a real shame he's (Button) not coming. This time last year I was very excited at the idea of Jenson coming here. |
I always enjoy the Brazilian Grand Prix … it was a formative part of growing up, watching great racing there on television, particularly in the Senna-McLaren era. |
I came round there and I thought he's got a problem and he'll do his best to get out of the way. He didn't have a problem but he tried in the end to get out of the way. I had to go to the inside and lost a quarter of a second. |
I had a little bit of a fright because I thought there was a problem with the car. But when everything got up to temperature, the engineers told me to push on and everything worked fine afterwards. |
I pushed very hard to get Jenson here...it's the best for the team to have two strong guys, it's good for the sponsors and the results at the end of the day. |
I sat down and said: 'How you going?'. He said I was a bit cheeky, but he was cheeky in Melbourne with me. |
I see it as very positive, |
I still pushed myself incredibly hard and am keen on attention to detail and sometimes I did upset Sam because I was focusing on the things that were not my job. |
I think he is, but that's just my opinion, ... (Owner) Frank (Williams) is talking about other people but I would think he would be frontrunner. |
I'm expecting Jenson Button (Honda) to win races. McLaren might be good in the end. We'll see. But I don't think McLaren will be strong in the first part. |
