said "We realised
earlier in the weekend that
we were not going to be as competitive here
as we had expected, so third place was probably
the best I could do. At the start,
Kimi got ahead because he made
a better start: we will have to see if it
was my reaction time
or something on the car. David nearly
came past as well and we ran
side by side for a couple of corners which
was exciting. I got back ahead of
the two McLarens, because they pitted
earlier for the first two stops,
so we knew they would
have to take on a heavier fuel load at the
end. I pushed hard at
that point and that gave
me the advantage. The car was as good as
it could have been, although I struggled
a bit on the second set of tyres.
We have a good car, but so has BMW-Williams.
Of course we are aware of the situation,
but we will now work very hard
with Bridgestone to improve the situation.
We are definitely not going through
a crisis. I have extended my championship
lead over Kimi and I am confident we can
put an end to this current run
of poor results."1 |
