Michael
said “I am amazed at how the race went. I thought
we had a good strategy, where to a certain extent,
we sacrificed qualifying for the race, but I never
expected it to pay out so early. I was not worried
by Kimi’s pace at the start because I knew my
strategy and even if he had been ahead after my second
stop I would not have worried as he had to come in
again. I did not want to overdo it and just let the
potential of the car do the work. The car was going
so well when I had an open track. I lost a comfortable
lead with the Safety Car and so I was lucky to have
two cars between me and Kimi. The Safety Car was going
very slowly and that meant after it went in, I had
to fight hard for a couple of laps until my tyres
came good and then I was able to pull out a lead again.”
