said "All in all this is an excellent result
and I'm certainly not complaining about finishing
second. If someone would have told us during the winter
months that this is the way we would have finished
the first race of the season, I wouldn't have believed
them. Today we must be really pleased with the result.
On the other hand, I still have some mixed feelings
because it's seems that we could have been ahead and
could have won the race. Considering how it ended
up, it's now clear that the qualifying lap that wasn't
acknowledged in as far as refuelling this morning
was concerned, was the decisive factor that played
against us. It's a pity, because yesterday I had to
back off because of the traffic. In any case it's
a great day for us because we know that we have an
good car and we have an excellent potential to develop
during the course of the season and this is very important.
This year the fight for the championship will be very
close: there are several good teams, all of which
are capable of battling for the title and it's great
to be one of them."
