Spanish GP - RACE   _   Michael wins again

Michael  said  “I started  with the T-car as I had a hydraulic problem  with my race car in the morning. But that was not an issue  as  all  our  three cars are the same. After Rubens had the  problem  at  the  start, we tried to be careful during the pit  stop  and  took  more  care  to  ensure the same thing did not  happen  on  my  car. It  was  really  bad luck for Rubens. Whenever  we have had a problem this season, it has been on his car, but that will not continue. In qualifying we were one second  ahead  but  we  did not know what the gap would be in  the  race. The  Bridgestones  worked  very  well and were better  in  qualifying  than  in  Imola,  but  maintained   their consistency  for  this  race. This circuit suits our car and we showed  what  a  good  job  our  engineers have done. As for Austria, it  will depend on the tyre situation, even if we have a very  competitive  package. Here  we were dominant, but in Brazil  it  was  a  close  fight,  so  for the next races we will have  to  wait and see. Although I was out in front, I was not bored  because I  was able to watch the fight for sixth. The team told me it was  best  not  to  get  involved with it and so I did not try and pass them.”
