beat everybody extra maybe michael title wants year
Everybody wants to beat Michael on the track, ... In the first year he is not racing, maybe the title doesn't have the same feeling, so it was really an extra for me.

Things seem closer between us and McLaren than they have been in the last few races, and although it will be very difficult to beat them, maybe it's not impossible.

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.
best came country fact fight help maybe michael people proud schumacher taken three title tradition won
I won the championship with maybe not the best car, so I am proud of what I did. The fact that I have taken over the title from Michael Schumacher is a bonus. I came from a country with no tradition in F1. I had to fight my way alone. I have only had the help of two or three people in my career, no more.
car change help lose maybe slow
The tyre change doesn't help Michelin. We maybe will lose one of our advantages. The car is a little slow because of the new rules.
good starting surprised
I'm surprised he was on the podium because he was starting from the back. I thought Jenson (Button) was third. I think he did a good from where he was starting.
ability both confident defend driver help helped plans sure team titles
I'm sure they'll help me like they've always helped me and that nothing will really change. I don't think it's in Renault's plans to help one driver more than the other, and I'm 100% confident with the team in our ability to defend both our titles this year.

In Bahrain, Ferrari was our most dangerous opponent. In Malaysia it was Honda and in Australia (it was) McLaren.

I know that the R26 is a highly competitive car and it can only be my goal to defend my title.

I knew Juan Pablo was quicker, ... I knew I had no chance to fight because today was no risk. It was not easy, I was extremely careful in overtaking. Every one was a risky moment.
believe best came choose chosen contract family finished formula gave higher leave motivation possible season stage team time
Things change. It's a new story. Renault has been my family from the time I came into formula one. I gave them a lot and they gave me a lot. But I think I've finished a stage in my career. When you come to the end of a contract you can choose and I've chosen what I believe is the best team for my future. But it's important to leave in the best possible way. The motivation for this season is even higher because we have the No1 and No2 on the car.
extremely happy second win
I'm just extremely happy to win the championship with the second quickest car,
targets
I need to find new targets because this one is done.
