Drivers: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Racing), Mark Webber (Red Bull Racing), Jenson Button (Brawn GP)

Questions from the floor:

Q: (Frederic Ferret – L'Equipe)
Sebastian, now that the season is over, do you have any regrets from the previous Grands Prix?

Sebastian Vettel:
No. We can't change yesterday, we can change tomorrow. The key now is obviously, looking back, five races where we didn't finish. Sometimes we should have brought some points back home and we didn't, so we need to understand why that was and as I say, change tomorrow, obviously learn, learn a lesson and try to come back stronger for next year. Overall, I think the circumstances sometimes weren't easy to accept. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it's just not supposed to be. Sometimes little mistakes happen from whoever's side. I'm not here to blame anyone in particular. Nevertheless, I think it was a very, very strong season. If anything, I think Mark and myself and the whole team got very, very strong towards the end, we have won the last three races as a team. I think we have learned already, but there is still a lot we can improve for the future, and hopefully we will do so and come back stronger next year.

Q: (Michael Schmidt – Auto, Motor und Sport)
Mark, you struggled on the options at the end; was it because you had a busy out lap where you had overstressed the tyre or what could have been the reason?

Mark Webber:
Not really. I think the movement of the tyre was the same on Friday for me. I didn't really feel the tyre that well. It was just not as stable as the prime and I felt that immediately on Friday and I was hoping that it would be a lot better with a rubbered-in circuit but I couldn't commit. It was half a tenth every corner, one tenth every corner and it adds up to be a lot, compared to the prime. And then, when you're getting caught you obviously have to really make sure that you're not making any mistakes to give him even more of a chance to pounce, so I had to then go into a bit more of a conservative mode and make sure that I didn't give it too easily. He had to make sure he worked for it. That's what happened in the last 15 laps.

Q: (Anne Giuntini – L'Equipe)
To all three of you: considering there is a long break before February, I suppose you won't be on holiday all the time. What is your working programme?

SV:
Jenson's getting married, we heard. So he's busy.

MW:
And we're all invited as well.

SV:
Yeah, everyone.

Jenson Button:
Next question.

MW:
But Japan's a long way.

SV:
Obviously I have a pretty stressful week, following up, stress and fun at the same time. We are going to Beijing, so I am looking forward to that. I'm trying to kick his (Jenson's) arse. And after that, some things to do back in Germany, yeah, and at the end of the month we will have a big party back in Milton Keynes, with all the team, so I'm looking forward to that. So November is a bit the time probably to be a bit lazy, but back in December and January obviously trying to focus on next year, on the new car. As I said, we will have time and meetings to discuss and obviously analyse what we can do better in the future and then we put our focus on next season. Obviously it's a long, long time without any testing, any driving for us, so I reckon I will do some karting, that's for sure, even though it's cold.

MW:
Yeah, similar to Sebastian. Next week is very busy. I'm going to Austria tomorrow, doing some work over there for Red Bull and then also some stuff for Renault next Thursday, so the next few weeks I've got some PR work which we've put on the backburner during the season, so a few photo-shoots here and there. Then I'm potentially going to drive the GP3 car, the new category car, do a bit in that, to see how that's going along. It's a very exciting championship next year which Christian (Horner) and I are involved in, so I might do a little bit of driving in that, but not much, just to get a little bit of press and a little bit of feeling for how it is. And then I think the third week of November I'm going to open my leg up again and get a bit more metal out, and then that's the end of that problem, so it will be a few weeks relaxing after that and then I go to Australia for Christmas, a few barbecues on the beach and go to the cricket as well, which is 100,000 Australians at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) which is a big highlight at the Boxing Day test match, so I've got a few good things to look forward to and then in January, come back to a European winter which is always a test, but anyway, we will do that and get ready for February.

JB:
Wow, that's a lot.

SV:
Wait until you start…

JB:
I have got nothing planned this winter. I'm going to the RoC (Race of Champions) tomorrow which takes place Tuesday, Wednesday. If you're interested, head down to the Bird's Nest in Beijing. The only thing is that I am going to go and enjoy myself with the team tonight, so we will see how I perform on Tuesday and Wednesday. But I'm looking forward to that, it's always good fun. And then I'm heading to Japan to spend some time there with my girlfriend and then I will have a few more days off and then sort myself out and start thinking about next year. It's amazing how early it starts, 2010 comes up on you in a flash. I've got to sort myself out and focus on that. I'm looking forward to the new challenge, for sure, but it can wait a couple of weeks. Oh, I've got my 30th birthday in January as well. Thirty! Imagine that, Sebastian.

SV:
It's a long way to go.

JB:
Trust me, it goes by very quickly.

Q: (Chris Lines – Associated Press)
Guys, you sit up there as two representatives of the two most dominant teams this season. If we go back a year ago, it was Ferrari and McLaren and they were nowhere in the early part of this year. How confident are you guys that you will be able to carry this form into next season and not pay a price for going all the way through developing the car?

SV:
Well, I think we are a team, we are professional. You might read here and there that other teams stopped developing for this year, looking ahead to next year, but as I said earlier on, I think the regulations aren't changing too much. Obviously the biggest change is no refuelling but other than that the cars will remain similar, similar shapes. I think the people know what they are doing back in Milton Keynes. Obviously this year was a great chance for us and as Mark said, we were able to build quite a weapon. So I'm very confident. I think we can only get stronger. Obviously it was the first time that we were in that position for us, Mark, myself and the team that we were in that position and I think we handled it quite well. We made some mistakes here and there but that's what happens. We are not the only ones who made these mistakes and if you are fighting and trying to push and trying to get the last bit out of yourself, out of the team, out of the car, then sometimes you might step over the limit. I think it's totally natural to go through that progress, so we have definitely learned a lot and the important thing is, as I've said before, to do it much better next year.

JB:
Ferrari and McLaren are going to be competitive next season. They have the resources, they have the expertise, they have competitive drivers. For sure they are going to be quick. They've had a different approach over the last few races. If you look at Ferrari, they've said that they've had no development which is unusual to hear that, as there's not much that changes for next season. But it seems that McLaren have thrown everything at the car and have been very competitive over the last couple of races. So going into next year, yeah, they're going to be quicker compared to the start of this season but I don't think they're suddenly going to be stronger than Red Bull and Brawn. I think there's going to be a big battle at the front which is going to be a new thing for all of us, because having four teams fighting it out at the front, that hasn't happened – could you just keep… 'scuse me, I'm just trying to talk – you might want to listen to this.

MW:
We're just talking about your wedding day, mate. We're just trying to clear our schedules.

JB:
But with four teams at the front, eight drivers fighting out for wins, I think that's exciting, so, yeah.

Q: (Bob McKenzie – The Daily Express)
What's the date for the wedding, Jenson?

JB:
It's my birthday, did you say? By the way, I'm looking forward to my present, thank you very much, Bob. What did you call me before?

BMcK:
The World Champion?

JB:
That's the one, thank you. I'm not getting married this year.

SV:
Why not? You don't love her?

MW:
Clear up January, clear it up.

JB:
I think some things need to be kept private in your life and that's one of them. Thank you very much.
