car difficult dreaming goal last race regular repeat season win winning won
It is very difficult to win a championship, and you need a lot of things around you to have the chance. Last year, I started the season dreaming of, maybe, winning one race and getting regular podiums, but we won the title. In 2006, I know we have a competitive car in the R26, so my only goal is to repeat the title.
car extremely means shows
It means we are extremely competitive. It shows we are the car to beat.
dreamed eight good perfect points start
It's a perfect start to the championship. Eight points is what I dreamed of before Bahrain. We'll be good everywhere.

It's a little bit frustrating with the start, obviously, because we lost a place. It should be easy to keep the pole position. It was really frustrating.
bad ferrari finish fought four harder last ready seventh teams weekend win year
There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. It will be harder (to win the championship) than last year for sure. Last year, we fought only with McLaren. If you have a very bad weekend you finish fourth. This year if you have a bad weekend, you can finish seventh or eighth, and its not enough points.

There are four teams ready to win - Honda, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault.

We did the right thing. We didn't need to take the gamble and played it safe.
