I tried to get through on the inside, but there was no way for me to go. I might have managed it, but I had a
Super Aguri also trying to get past it. We'll just have to try again in Istanbul. Hopefully we can get the new car soon and move out of the back of the pack, where I have had so many problems at the start of races.
Stefano Domenicali [Ferrari team principal]:
We are obviously delighted with this result, the best one possible. It comes as a result of the work done in preparing for the race throughout the weekend, and I want to thank the whole team both those who are here at the track and those back in Maranello for their efforts.
We have to continue in this way, paying great attention to every little detail. We are up against very strong opponents, and it takes just the slightest thing for a good result to slip through one's fingers. We are leading both championships and we have to keep on down this path.
Luca Baldisserri [Ferrari technical director]:
A very satisfying one-two, the second of the season. Usually, the Spanish Grand Prix is the litmus test for the pecking order down the grid after the first run of races outside Europe. From what we saw, it seems we are maintaining a slight advantage, which means we can be reasonably confident about the rest of the season as long we don't make any mistakes and continue to develop the car.
All the same, this race was very closely-contested. All key elements worked well the team, the drivers, the car and when that happens, the results follow. We have to continue like this.
Ron Dennis [McLaren team principal]:
Lewis drove very well to third place today, but for obvious reasons our main concerns during the race were with Heikki. I am therefore extremely pleased to be able to report that he is safe and well.
