car engine lap last quick weekend
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.
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.

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.

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.

The car wasn't quick enough. It got quicker and quicker and at the end was perfect. Unfortunately it came about 40 laps too late. The Renault was too quick so all the compliments to them and next year we try again.

This was a very disappointing day for me which could have ended much better. Even though my world championship chances are not looking so good, I will continue to fight.

We knew before qualifying that maybe we wouldn't get the pole, but we are still ready to fight for the win.

You better go for it when you have a chance and trust your feelings. It paid off well. I was quite confident we would have the speed, but you never know.
