It was a mixed weekend for me,.. It was great on the one hand as I had a really exciting race, but it was a shame that I could not finish in the points today.

At the restart, Michael and I were trying to overtake a Jordan
I was going to challenge him into turn one but, to me, it looked like he braked so early. I reacted and hit the brakes, but simply locked up the front wheels and contacted the back of his car. Basically, I couldn't decelerate like I wanted to, so it looked quite big.

It's obviously very tricky conditions, and a restart. I locked up the front wheels on the brakes and couldn't stop in the distance.

With cold tyres and brakes, it was very difficult to stop the car and unfortunately, I touched the back of him,.. Obviously, I am disappointed that we could not deliver a good result today.

I didn't have an update on the radio,.. There may have been some problem so I really didn't see [Webber]. By the time I realised, it was just down the straight, so I'm really sorry for that.

Our qualifying positions cost us the result,.. But we tried a very different strategy today to try to make up some places.

I'd like to see him racing with a good team and he'll want that too. Our goal is to build a team he will want to drive for.
good drive goal team racing
We know that there is a lot of hard work to do, but we are up for the challenge and I am really looking forward to it.
