It is a pity that we missed out on the points but that was not the best afternoon for me.

It is an unusual situation. Normally, you would expect the government to err on the optimistic side.

Having him on the team is a bonus. He's an absolute blast. He's a fun kid, but he knows when to compete.

Going from two wheels to four, we've seen in the past that this can be done.
advantage car close decided dry early good onto period quick safety strategy timing together took tough worked
That was a very tough race. The timing of the safety car period worked to our advantage early on and we were in good shape. We were quick in the conditions, everything was going well and the strategy was well defined. Then we just decided to go onto dry tyres too early. It was a very close decision, but we took it together and we got it wrong.

That was a very interesting race and it is obviously good news to have scored our first point of the year so we are very happy.

bad began causing expected further grip happy higher lap looking lose middle pressures result saw section seems seen slide slippery towards track
I am not happy with my lap this afternoon. It started well, but towards the middle section I began to lose grip and I think this was because the tyre pressures went up higher than we wanted, causing me to slide around. But, looking at the data, it seems it was not just down to the pressures, so the track must have been more slippery than in the morning, which can be seen from looking at the other drivers' times. When I saw my lap time, I expected to be much further back on the grid, so this is not such a bad result at the end of the day.
joy
I am not very happy. I take no joy from this victory.
close great job mechanic moving nice saw team winning worked
I congratulate Fernando and the team on winning the title. They have done a great job over the season. I saw a mechanic who worked with me before and he was close to tears. It was moving to see him and it's nice to see how they are happy.
drivers track
You could see when the drivers that went out were on track that they couldn't really drive.
best final good hard knew pay seemed wait winter
All winter we knew we seemed to have a good package, but then you wait for the final confirmation. Here and now we have the final confirmation for all the hard work, and that is the best way to pay back to our guys.
almost came car impossible performed unless
The car never came and never really performed to what it was doing at the beginning. But overtaking is almost impossible unless you make a mistake.
