Winning is always nice. It never happens too early or too late. It was, obviously, a long time ago that we won in Melbourne. Now we finally got everything right in Magny Cours. It is a relief for sure. It does not really change anything, but for the whole team it was good.Our life is a little bit easier from now on. Everybody can relax while knowing that our persistant work was successful. We are heading in the right direction.
I was asked how painful it has been to lose so many races in a row. But it was not that painful, really. While we knew all the time what caused the problem and we were able to work to improve things, we were confident that the result would come at the end of the day. Like it did.
I have had no doubts that I could have lost my skill of driving. There has never been even the slightest doubt of my motivation or of my confidence. It was just a question of getting everything right with the whole package.
It was a real good car already at the Indy race, but it did not work out exactly right. Magny Cours just proved that our feeling was right. Now we have the car to fight for the victories.
Winning the race in Melbourne did not give us a w rong picture. We knew that the problem was there, but the car worked well in that circuit.
I was asked after the French Grand Prix, if we were back to how we were in Australia. Hopefully we are, but I really do not know. The next race in Silverstone will tell more.
Now we go with good feelings to promote the new Fiat 500 in Turin on Wednesday and from there we carry on with the team to Silverstone.
I think it was a good timing for our first 1-2 result just after the celebrations of Ferrari 60 Years. Of course the team expects us to get the same kind of result from every race.
Silverstone is such a nice circuit to race. I have always liked it. Before Magny Cours, we had a very good test at the British track. If we get all the parts tested there to the car, we will be even more competitive next weekend.
I would not draw any conclusions of the gap between Ferrari and McLaren. I guess that it depends a lot on the circuits how well the cars go. We were behind McLaren at Indy, but in France we did the opposite and we were ahead. That is why it would be just a waste of energy to think which team might be leading at Silverstone. We have to wait and see, how it goes there from Friday then on.
We know that we are working towards the right direction. Now I have a very good feeling with the car. It feels just great to get back to racing within a few days while last weekend was so good.
Hopefully see you in the podium again!
Can’t wait to see you at Silverstone Kimi!
Just like the man said, it never was a question of his motivation and confidence. I knew it was just a matter of time. It’s not too late for Kimi, and if the car is better at Silverstone then he can win there. And I hope he does! He had really good pace at Indy and Magny Cours, and showed Massa that he isn’t a pushover.
Keep Flying Kimi! Don’t miss my flag, it’ll be waving proud, doesn’t matter if it’s windy and rainy, your our sunshine!
