It's encouraging to see that the modified car already laps as fast as the hybrid [test] one but I keep thinking that a difficult start of the season awaits us, |
It's looking two points better now and we have a long way to go. |
It's not looking too bad, to phrase it carefully. Or, to phrase it a little less careful: there are many things pointing in a good direction. |
It's not something that happens overnight. I kept saying that until mathematically things are impossible, I will keep fighting, |
It's not the right way to win my first race of the year |
It's too soon to say, but it's promising, it looks like a good car, of high level. |
Its been a long time and hard work to get here. An amazing result, the whole winter we seemed to have a good package but then you wait for the final confirmation here. |
Last year, we came here with some disastrous performance, one of the worst races we had in the year. This year, there is good reason to believe we'll be happy people leaving this place. |
Last year, we didn't know for a long time if we would manage to get the new car ready in time. |
Last year, we didn't know for a long time if we would manage to get the new car ready in time. I think we will be more competitive this year. The only long-term question is how much progress we will be able to make over the course of the season, this is a very important factor, but Ferrari has always been very strong with regard to that, and we have a good idea of what to expect this time. We are looking forward to a tough challenge. |
Luckily this is a circuit where we know from last year that overtaking is almost impossible unless someone makes a mistake. |
Michael we are always by your side. |
Most of all, I see the same fighting spirit (at Ferrari) that I feel. We're all on the same page; we want to play a major role in the fight for the title (in 2006). So we're going to go for it again. |
My kids are not known, and I think that is very important. So far they have lived a normal life, and will continue to do so. I feel they should have the possibility to live a free life without the burden of fame I have created. |
My mother and father had always supported us. They made it possible to do what we do and she would have wanted that we did this race today, I am sure. |
