best counts early everybody factor good lap last maybe pass push race strange sure team until vegas wait year
I thought it made sense last year not to use Push to Pass because usually you have Push to Pass until you go off throttle (to deactivate it) and in Vegas your on the throttle the whole race so it should be an interesting transition. I think it's a little strange but if everybody has it, I'm sure it will be fun. Everybody will probably wait to use at the end of the race because you don't want to use it too early then not have it for the last lap which is when it counts but who knows, maybe that will be too late. It's a new factor and the good thing is that I'm in the best team and they'll tell me what to do I don't have to think, just drive.
again australia believed best brought contender far fighting finish glad great last left montreal nice position races slim start team win wins year
It's great to be a contender for the championship even if I only have a slim chance, ... The team believed in me from the start and so did PacifiCare so I am glad to give them all the podiums so far and especially the win in Montreal and put them in the position of fighting for another 1-2 finish in the championship. There are two races left and two opportunities to win and were going to try our best to do this. Bruno brought PacifiCare wins in Montreal and Australia last year and it would be nice if I could do that for them again this year.
ahead beginning both exactly fuel good happy hoping laps maybe obviously points saving second solid stop team thanks third towards weekend yellow
It was good fun. At the beginning of the race, I was saving a little more fuel than both of them, hoping that maybe towards the end and on the third stop there was going to be a yellow on that three-, four-lap difference, then it would have been golden, two laps ahead of everybody. It would have been nice. It was a good race, and I'm very happy for the team. 1-2 again. For the championship, I don't know exactly how the points are, but obviously I must be a little better, a little more solid in second place. It's a good weekend thanks to my PacifiCare team
best car secure team wins
I mean, Sebastien doesn't need wins any more. He has 60 points' advantage. The important thing for the team is to secure 1 and 2 in the championship. The best way to do that is for the #2 car winning. That's the goal.
again beat bit car change decent felt good hopefully knew lap last main quite race team top traffic wind
The car was very good even with the wind. We knew that no other team was going to beat us, with or without wind strategy. We went out there with the big wind. It was very good. I'm just very happy. The car felt actually quite decent in traffic earlier, so I think once now we change it a little bit for the race, going to be even better. Again, the race is very long. Is the last lap that counts, so we need to get there safe. That's the main thing. Hopefully we can put the PacifiCare car again in the top of the podium.
deserved feels happy list saying start win
It feels awesome. I won't start saying how often I've deserved to win because the list is so long. But I'm really happy about this one.
cool general good race vegas
I think just going to Vegas in general is always good. It's good for the series, good for the fans, good for the drivers. It's just a very different race in a very cool city.
behind came car everybody far fast faster flag good lap last red won
I wasn't that far behind Sebastien and I was on a very fast lap when the red flag came out. But, tomorrow, everybody will be faster and we'll see what happens. I know I have a very good car because it's the same one that Bruno won in last year.
best possible ready starting
I think we're starting in the best possible position, so we're all ready for tomorrow,
glad lap last
I'm glad they did the right thing, ... If not, I can tell you, that last lap in the hairpin was going to be ugly.
broken car change crashed either hoping
I've either crashed or the car has broken down so I'm hoping things are going to change this year.
anyway behind finish good satisfied second third time top win
Anyway it's good for (Servia). I'm satisfied with my result. It's good for him to win a race. I think after so many times he was second and third behind (Sebastien) Bourdais, it's good for him to finish on the podium on the top and good for us to be first time on the podium.
budget car hard third together trying
They are trying really hard to put the budget together for the third car for me,
begin calling enjoying friend hard maybe next people possible soon talk thinking worrying year
Bruno is my friend and I talk to him as much as I can. I want him to get better as soon as possible and get back to racing. I know I'll have to begin worrying about what I do next year pretty soon. I really just started thinking about that. Maybe I should be calling some people now, but I'm just enjoying this so much that it's hard to think about that.
