begin exciting expect perfect race start year
It was the perfect way to begin the year I think. We had a very exciting race for the spectators, and I think we can expect a very interesting start to the season.
eight points victory
These eight points are like a victory to me.
ahead car cars four gap losing maybe moments quite risk safety seconds three time understand victory
I didn't understand some moments of the race, when I was maybe 20 seconds ahead and the gap disappeared after three or four safety cars in 10 laps. But I think the car was perfect. There wasn't any risk of losing victory at any time so I was quite confident.
check four opening teams winter
Honda, Ferrari, McLaren and Renault have been the four big teams in winter testing, and now we must check in the opening races.
airplane successful littles
Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring.
reality thinking race
It was a bit of a surprise for us that we had problems in Hungary. But in reality, I think the car could have been pretty competitive with a trouble-free race.
jobs looks world
I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.
race lost starting
The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th... It's over already.
thinking america people
I like America, and I think probably the American people like me.
sports country strong
I am very proud of what we have built in Spain, because it is not a traditional Formula 1 country. I think we have found passionate fans, and built up a strong culture for the sport - and things are improving every day, with more and more people getting interested.
jobs destiny long
For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.
rights tvs spain
In Spain there were no TV rights for Formula One.
stressed-out another-day calm
I have always been very calm on the outside.
race lap
I like to race, not to do laps alone.
