Questions from the floor

Q: (Ian Parkes – The Press Association) Felipe, it was mentioned earlier that you are the first Brazilian to lead the world championship since Ayrton, we believe since Monaco in '93. Does that mean anything to you, is that significant?

Felipe Massa:
As I said, it's nice but my dream is not just to lead the championship, my dream is to win the championship and I'm going to do the best I can to try to achieve that. That's my dream and hopefully one day we can celebrate that, but for sure, it's a nice feeling.

Q: (Tomas Richtr – TV Nova) Jarno, your fight for the last podium place was very nice with Heikki and Robert Kubica. What was the reason behind your success, because even Timo Glock fell out of the top ten?

Jarno Trulli:
I think the results come from a perfect weekend from everybody – the team, from my driving, from everyone in the team, our suppliers, our supporters as well, because as I say, today you need to get everything completely right in order to get on the podium, especially for us. I think we've done a great job. What can I say more than that?

I drove very well. I fought very hard and this is what I'm supposed to do. I'm born to fight and I enjoy fighting. Sometimes I get it wrong; we can get it wrong, because it did happen here for a few years. I've been criticised, but I just learned from my mistakes and carried on pushing again.

Q: (Juha Päätalo – Financial Times Germany) Kimi, what did you feel in the car at the moment when the exhaust broke and what did the team tell you? Did you think the race would be over already?

Kimi Raikkonen:
Basically I just lost power. Then I told them that I had lost power and basically then I told them what was wrong because I saw in the mirror that the exhaust pipe was hanging on one of the cables at the back of the car. Usually when that happens it doesn't take too long before something else goes wrong but luckily the car was strong enough, the engine was strong enough. Even with a big problem like that we could still do pretty good lap times and finish second.
