Michael
said “This was a dream result, to come home
after three races and give the tifosi what they wanted.
It is a dream come true, especially as I am an ambassador
for San Marino. At the start, Jenson set a mind blowing
pace: it was as though I was driving in the wet and
he was in the dry. But after a few laps, everything
came up to temperature and I was able to push. Fortunately,
after that, I was able to maintain my pace, while
his seemed to drop off. As for my fight with Juan
Pablo, I wanted to keep him behind me so that I would
not lose touch with the leader. At first, I saw him
attack me, but then I did not see him, nor did I expect
him to come round the outside. I think it was just
a racing incident. In the final stages, I eased off
the pace to bring the car home. I hope we come back
here to Imola.” |
