Australian GP - RACE
Michael said  “I  take no joy from this victory. I enjoyed the race but not the last hundred metres. It was a team decision. Only  at  the  end  I was called on the radio and told Rubens would  move  over.  I  know  the  decision  is not popular, but imagine  if  we  had  lost the championship by this number of points at the end of  the  season. The team would look stupid in that situation. Rubens  did  a superb  job  and he outpaced me  all  weekend.  This  is  a  challenging situation having him pushing me. I am sure he will win races this year. If the team had  taken  this  decision  in  the  last race with the title still open nobody would be saying anything about today’s events.”
