Congratulations to Fernando, but he better be prepared for me and the team to fight him hard for the rest of the season. I will now focus on winning the constructors title for the team and go flat out for the last two races.
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.

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.

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.
