Post-race press conference - Turkish GP - Pt.1.

Sunday, 11th May 2008

Drivers: Felipe Massa (Ferrari), Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)

Q:
Kimi, you were saying you weren’t too badly affected by the front wing damage, could you see what it was, could you feel it at all?

KR:
I knew pretty much what had happened. I hit the rear wheel of Heikki and the bottom of the end plate came off. I didn’t look at the end how much it was damaged but for sure it doesn’t help, but it’s difficult to say how much the difference was.

Q:
Are you in agreement with Felipe that perhaps the harder tyre was easier to use?

KR:
Yeah, if I’d chosen now I would go onto the harder tyres at the first pit stop but it’s too late. I think the first set of soft worked pretty well for me, but the second set, when it was new, was quite difficult and it was at a point when we needed to be faster, so that’s one of the reasons that we lost second place, but anyhow, it’s been a difficult weekend, so third place is the best we could do.

Q:
Did you pretty much settle for third, one hoped you would have a go at Lewis at the end?

KR:
For sure, we tried to be in second place but we couldn’t, so I would rather take third than anything else.
