With these last few races all coming in quick succession, there was no reason to expect a big change in our performance level,

We achieved more than we expected but I am still not satisfied because I did not do a perfect lap in the traffic at the end of the session.
err expect government optimistic unusual
It is an unusual situation. Normally, you would expect the government to err on the optimistic side.
cases expect experience fighting great pedal ride rush win wish
Man, that was intense, ... I didn't expect that I would have to pedal it right there, but I didn't want to give up that $100,000 without fighting for it. I wish everyone could experience that rush because then they'd know why we do what we do. It's just great to win the Budweiser Shootout and get $100,000, 50 cases of beer, and a ride with the Clydesdales.
expected fight hard honestly nobody surprise work
Nobody expected this and now that it's there we will work very hard to fight back again. It's not a big surprise and that's the way it goes. It is honestly a surprise it did take that long before it happened.
amazing came circuit decision dry expected faster great incredibly instead job race remember score seeing slippery slow straight team track
Like everyone we expected the track to dry out a lot faster than it did. Instead the track was incredibly slow to dry out. It was amazing how slippery the circuit was, and I can't remember seeing a race like that. We came straight back in and that enabled us to score some points. The team did a great job but we just got one decision wrong.
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.
expect surprise
In the end it was not a surprise to us. We did not expect to be really competitive all weekend.
asking excessive restraint unions wage
Unions are asking for more, but we are still a long way from excessive demands. The wage restraint continues.
along freshmen knew longer prolific
We knew what kind of prolific scorer he could be, and he's come along well. Some freshmen take longer to come around.
fact slow
The fact is we were too slow here and we did not look too competitive,
coming full good job key kids losing minutes nice overall responding schedule tournament
Overall this was a good tournament for us. The kids did a nice job of responding after losing to Badger. We have the big part of our schedule coming up and the key for us is to concentrate and play a full 36 minutes each night.
close except feels good less point top wrong
(Renault) feels less competitive here than elsewhere. We were very competitive except at one point when I think something was wrong with the car. I think we should be pretty good from now on. It's getting very close between the top teams.

Renault currently look the strongest team, followed by three teams, Honda, Mercedes and Ferrari.
