great ground hopefully last misfortune mistakes naturally obviously race result seeing step strategy terms towards weeks worked
We worked very hard, naturally -- because of our misfortune and the mistakes we made in the last weeks -- to make up ground and here we are, and we've made up significant ground. Obviously the race is important -- this is one step towards it -- but seeing where Fernando, in particular, is it's great for us in terms of first strategy and hopefully result as well by the end of the race.
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.

The script was about 100 pages. I mean, we could have padded it if we wanted to. But I don't think that would make a better movie... .I mean, it's a guy in a phone booth.

clear everybody further knew surprised tests winter
Everybody knew that Renault were very good. It was clear after the winter tests and so I wasn't surprised at all. But to be completely honest, I thought we would have been much further back.
