good rid sure unlucky
We have been unlucky in some races. It is still a good car, very quick. We just need to make sure to get rid of the little problems.

I will try to win the race because we have a quick car. If we get through the first corner without problems, I can have a good race. I have nothing to lose.
car feels good hoping results trouble weekend
I am really hoping for a trouble-free weekend as the car feels good and I feel I can get some good results in it.

The new track is quite interesting and my first impressions are positive. It was a bit slippery out there particularly as there was a little bit of rain which seemed to affect the grip levels a lot - but I think we are in good shape.
afternoon bit car complete couple difficult following good hard issue minor running spend team time track worked
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.
car good happened nice race strong yesterday
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.
car gap good lead number terrible
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 very disappointing to not even complete one timed lap as I believe that the team had a good strategy for the new qualifying system and I could have been amongst the quickest.

After the first two races, I am really hoping to have a trouble-free weekend in Australia, as the car feels good and I think that we can get some good results with it.

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.
challenges elevation fast forward good graphics layout looking looks mix seen slow
I have seen graphics and it looks like a good layout with a mix of challenges, such as slow and fast corners, long straights and elevation changes, and I am looking forward to the challenge.

Ive just got to do a good job and stay on in Formula One for as long as I can.

The car felt good straight away and we will just have to wait and see what the weather does tomorrow. I like Spa and this is an important weekend for me and the team.
bit cooler expected good guess problems rest start stay weekend
A good start to the weekend where we went through everything we wanted. It was a bit cooler than we expected but no problems and I guess the temperature will stay pretty much the same for the rest of the weekend.
