Q: (Dan Knutson National Speed Sport News) Jarno, tell us about that last battle you had with Heikki when you got alongside each other. I think you even banged wheels, just run us through that part
JT:
I think we were very close but we didn't bang at all. I did my job, I kept the inside line as I was supposed to do and obviously I was quite slow on the straight it was so obvious but all I had to do was to fight. I could see the podium there but I didn't want to lose the position.
Everybody knows me I'm hard to pass, I fight until the end. Sometimes I can also get it wrong, but this time I got it right and I did a perfect job. Nevertheless, it's not only my driving; it's also down to the team who have done a good job with the pit-stop, perfect pit-stops, perfect strategy, all the weekend was perfect.
Obviously, the fact that we had a very good qualifying position and then a good start gave us the chance to fight those ahead. It's quite clear that we don't yet have the pace to fight
Ferrari and to fight
McLaren and
BMW, but obviously today we could take our chances and we did it.
Q: (Michael Schmidt Auto Moto und Sport) Kimi, when the problem started, you had lap times of high 1m19s and 1m20s and then you dropped down later on to 1m18s. What did you change in your driving style to drive that fast with your problem?
KR:
Basically the problem kept changing. Sometimes it was a little bit worse, sometimes a bit better. It really depended on how the engine behaved. Luckily enough, after a few laps it started to work a little bit better and then in the end it got really bad again and it almost stopped, but we made it to the finish and that was the main thing.
Q: (Alexandre Avril Radio NRJ Nevers) Felipe, it's probably the last grand prix at Magny-Cours. You won the race; do you have a special feeling?
FM:
It's special, for sure. Magny-Cours was a nice traditional race. For sure, if you see the town it's not very exciting but I think the track is alright the track is better than many tracks we race on. I don't have any problems coming here to race. I like the track which is the most important thing for the driver. The hotel is nearby, so that's not a problem.
