bit cars damage exciting happen lap luckily past quite ran rear touched wheel wide
Montoya touched me on the rear wheel a little bit and got sideways, and he got past me but luckily enough we didn't damage our cars so it was all right, ... The first lap was quite exciting anyhow, but I ran wide in the chicane and then unfortunately for him he had something happen to him and he went off.

I had a small off at one point which is what happens sometimes when you try different things and I'm expecting the track surface to improve further as more cars run.

We've been quick all weekend and the car is good, ... Unfortunately the engine let go just in the last lap when I went out in the last practice.

It was a bit of a difficult afternoon for us yesterday, because we had to spend some time working on the car following the minor issue with the gearbox, but the team worked really hard to get the car out on track to complete a couple of installation laps, and that set us up for the good running today.

It was disappointing what happened yesterday because the car was good with a good set-up and we started last. It's nice to see we were strong in the race and could have been strong in qualifying.

It's always terrible to retire, but while in the lead with a good gap to the number two car is even worse,

It is going to be a nice race for both teams, I think. Last year our car was pretty quick there and I quite like the circuit, so for sure we will try to win the race and hopefully we can win the championship, too, for the team,

I think it was fairly obvious that Christian Klien made a pretty fundamental mistake. I am very disappointed because I had a great car set-up and very good race strategy.

Sure we would have had a chance to try to win the race. The car was good. That was the positive thing.

I haven't changed my driving at all. You just drive the car as fast as you can.
behind both car cars catch deserved few fighting finishing happened happy keeps laps last perfect possible race team unlucky
If Fernando keeps finishing behind us it is not possible to catch him any more, but we will do everything we can as a team to keep fighting and we were very unlucky today. We had a perfect race and it was unfortunate for the team what happened in the last few laps because we could have had a one-two and we deserved it. I was happy with the car but we deserved to have both cars on the podium.
