| "It's been an incredible weekend. Coming here first on the road, we were thinking we better stay home. We did some good job in the test and the car was working much better than in Portugal. We had an amazing day on Friday, and yesterday we managed to climb back up to the top. For sure, it's good for the championship. I had a misfire for a long time after the water splash. We survived, but lost a couple of seconds there. A very good weekend." | ||||||
