account completed focusing lack laps mainly running taking testing time tire work
Testing went really well this week, particularly taking into account the lack of running time in the mornings. I completed a lot of laps as we are focusing mainly on tire testing and reliability work at the moment.
fuel happy issues maybe others reasonably running solved tomorrow wait
We just have to wait and see tomorrow. We are reasonably happy that we have solved some our issues but maybe the others are running very big fuel loads. Tomorrow is the important day.
running fun regret
I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.
running struggle mean
I love cycling, running and swimming. In recent years I've competed regularly in triathlons, which means I don't find the physical side of driving a struggle any more.
running weight skinny
If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you're limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They're quite skinny.
case definitely driver f1 guy love next
I love the role of being the experienced driver and that is definitely the case next year - I think I am the most experienced guy in F1 next year.
acid car corners fit hit lap legs pulling
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.

That Monaco crash was quite a big one - I pulled 33g when I hit the wall, which is a lot. It's a weird sensation - like all my skin and flesh was being pulled off my bones.
buttons car developing fit hope next obviously positions season small sort sure wheel
We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.
bit car conditions couple expected forward hotter races seems shows steps strange struggling style suit taken time winter works
I think that the way this car works doesn't suit his style and he's taken a little bit of time to get used to it, but the strange thing is that over the winter he was very competitive. It seems that when the conditions are hotter he is struggling a bit more with the car - and that shows that the car is not where we wanted it to be or where we expected it to be for these first two races of the season. It shows we need to make steps forward in a couple of places...

It is disappointing but we can't stop it raining here,

I'm still shaking with the excitement. It was really difficult to stay calm. It's just so tricky out there with the conditions. It was very very windy.
difficult hectic lap mad shaking time trying
I'm still shaking with the excitement. It was a very hectic session, it was mad for us. Trying to get a lap time in was very difficult but we managed it.
