Kimi, you lost two positions going into the first corner, was it not such a good start due to the line you had to start on or was there a technical problem?
KR:
The inside line is never going to be as good as the clean side but also, when I was side-by-side with Heikki and then he was turning in and I needed to slow down because otherwise we would have hit hard, so both of us were pretty slow in the corner, so I think people came round the outside. I think Kubica or somebody else came and passed us. I lost some places there but it all started to go wrong at that point.

Lewis, going back to the question of tyres, obviously we've got two compounds running each weekend. Was the fear of delamination equal with both compounds of tyre and what does the team think it is that's been causing that fear of delamination over the Turkish weekend?
LH:
It was with both sets of tyres but we're not sure of the reason. Basically we need to look into it more, but they've taken the tyres away and analysed them and saw there was some problem with the tyre, it was failing, or looking like it was going to be failing. Fortunately they made the right choice, it was the right choice at the beginning, and we made the best job that we could with them.

Kimi, after seeing Hamilton in front of you after the last pit stop, did you believe it was possible for you to overtake him?
KR:
It's always difficult to overtake but we tried, we tried to push him but unfortunately we couldn't get close enough because we knew that we have good straight-line speed on the back straight but if you don't get close enough... I was always catching him but I was too far away, so there was nothing that we could do.
