Pedro's problem finished his run prematurely, but this will not hamper our programme for the weekend, ... Other than that, it was a successful Friday practice where we ran through our programme and achieved the results, in terms of speed and consistency, that we had expected going into this weekend.

Juan Pablo was just cruising and it's massively frustrating.

Juan is great to work with, very cool and philosophical and he is part of an exciting future for McLaren,

bit both closer continue dominate driver eight far fight formula great hard leading leave normally races season seen team won
That championship is far from over and we will continue to fight hard for it. To leave here leading the constructors' championship and being a little bit closer on the drivers' would have been great for us and also great for Formula One, but unfortunately that did not happen. We have now won eight races out of 11 and that is normally a season which has seen both team and driver dominate both championships. But I don't feel frustration with the past.

If there is (rule) clarity then that will definitely encourage us to move in that direction.

I hope he had flood insurance, ... They had some serious water run through here.

I'm looking forward to it that is for sure.
ask behave drivers grand influence name names outcome people race respecting
The drivers who just don't get out of the way influence the outcome of world championships. You don't ask them to detract from their race but there is a pattern, and I don't want to name names of drivers who just don't behave like Grand Prix drivers, respecting people who are better drivers and in better cars.
damaged laps mixed motivation opening race ran remaining tone
The drivers' motivation in the opening laps of that first race were mixed with frustration, they ran wide, damaged the cars, and that really set the tone for the remaining intercontinental races.
