In the end it was not a surprise to us. We did not expect to be really competitive all weekend. |
In the last few years, Malaysia hasn't been a good race for us and this year it was the same. I hope and also think that Australia should be more like Bahrain. |
In these conditions nobody can drive except maybe behind the safety car. A normal race is not possible, |
It feels great. We had an amazing weekend. We've done a lot of work. We made some mistakes in the last race, very obviously. In general over the weekend we were very competitive. |
It has a special meaning to me. Right now, I'm so focused on what comes next. |
It has been too long ago. Too much time ago. To be on front row and be so competitive is a nice surprise, particularly if you can imagine what happened last year. |
It has not reached the stage where I think 'hey I am not as good as these youngsters'. I want to be competing at the top and not just a run of the mill driver. |
It was a bit of a struggle, but luckily we know overtaking is nearly impossible here. |
It was just too wet to go out. I think we would have needed a boat propeller to power our way round the track, |
It was not the outcome we were looking for. We have to work even harder to bridge the gap before the end of the season. We would like to score a win before the championship ends. |
It will be very interesting. There are four teams fighting for victories at any circuit at the moment: Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault, and I think any of them can win races, and this would make the start of the season, especially, very, very interesting. |
It would have been very easy to make a mistake and from hero to zero was not very much at that moment. |
It's a little bit difficult to anticipate the situation beforehand because weather conditions could be quite variable down here. |
It's a shame, in a way, that he goes if you see how he has built up that company, how it started. With a little faith he's done a great job. |
It's always great to have a good result, but it won't break us if we don't. Some words have been put in my mouth that it's a make-or-break race - and it's not true. It's an important race. |
