“It was a baptism of fire for us, where we had a
few issues with the car in the first session. The mechanics are doing a
great job, but one hour goes incredibly quickly. We will be working hard
tonight to sort things out. We could do with more track time – something we
don’t have a lot of at the moment – but it was a great experience to drive
here for the first time.” |

“It turned out not too bad for us today. It was
good to outdo the Jaguars, even though they only had one run, but that’s
part of the game – they should have had two, but they didn’t. I think that
everybody knows they could have gone a lot quicker with more running in that
session but the rain came halfway through. We made a plan to do two runs
before the track even got wet. In the end, we had two runs in nice
conditions, so the team did a good job.” |

“That was a really tough race and I had to push
the whole way. We had a bit of drama at the pit stop, when the refuelling
flap didn’t open, but we recovered and didn’t lose the position. The thing
that got to me the most, though, was in the last couple of laps – every time
I came down the pit straight, I could see the crowd in the grandstand rise,
but there was no chequered flag, and I wasn’t sure if the race was over or
not. I have to say, I was relieved when I came around and finally saw it
being waved. On a personal note, I’m really pleased that we got the car home
and that we scored points in what is my home Grand Prix. I’m just really
proud of the team and of the fantastic support we’ve received from the fans
here in Australia.” |
