said “The end of the race was not planned.
We tried to cross the line together but failed
by a tiny bit and in fact we did not
know who had won until we got out of the
cars. I just felt Rubens
deserved to win this race. He has made sacrifices
for me at least twice
this year and I guess that what goes around
comes around. It is fair to say that
both of us understood and accepted
the decision in Austria,
because we know that the interests of the
team come first. I feel that today
equalises what happened there, even though we
were trying to finish
side by side. We have set so many records this
year and now we have one for the closest finish!
As for the race, the
car was perfect but we tried
not to push too hard in the beginning. When I
came out ahead of Coulthard
after the pit stop and I knew
it was okay, but it was quite close. I had some
traffic problems with guys trying to be
nice, but choosing the wrong
place to let me pass.” |
