WINNER CHINESE GRAND PRIX WE NEEDED THIS
Shanghai 7 October 2007
I am very happy ! It is a really great result for me and the whole team , who done a truly excellent job . We needed this win and we got it . At the start of the race , I had a lot of understeer but then the situation improved . I was one of the last to switch to dry tyres but this was a help as after a little while the rain began to fall again . Even after the second stop I had a bit of understeer , but as before , the situation improved in the final stages . I knew Alonso was very quick but I was in full control of the situation . The car overall was working well both in the wet and in the dry . Last week in Fuji , we were unlucky but today things went right for us . We have had yet another example that in this sport anything can happen . The situation in the Drivers ’ classification is still very difficult . I will try everything to win in Brazil , even if the final outcome does not just depend on what we do . It should be a great battle , very hard to predict and interesting .
