GP - QUALIFYING - Michael takes first Hockenheim pole |
|
|
|
| Michael
said "It is a dream to get
my first Hockenheim pole and hopefully also the
win tomorrow. I am more than excited about this
and I would like to transform today’s performance
into victory in the race,
as I have never
won here with Ferrari. Seeing the
excitement on the face of the fans and to feel
their excitement was a boost for me. On my second
run, I went over the kerb too much and the
car got away from me. A lot of cars were
sliding, so maybe there was some dust
on the track initially, but then it picked up
speed. So it took time to get a good lap time,
but we got it together
in the end, which was
the result of good preparation
in the morning. When I got out of the car,
I was not sure whether to wave to the fans in
case someone bounced my time! We have
worked on having a consistent pace during the
race. The good thing about this track
is that the new design means
if you go off the track, you might lose a place,
but your race should not be over, which
I think is fair and
safe." |
