“The fact it is a street circuit means there are some traffic lines on the asphalt, so it we get any rain, then you have to choose the line very carefully because these areas are slippery. It can make for a difficult Grand Prix.”
“There's a fantastic atmosphere here for me. There is a great atmosphere in Australia, the people are really friendly and it's a nice place. The circuit is not the best circuit for me, but it's good. I've got a good feeling and I won last year so I have a good memory (of this circuit). Coming here and being the winner of the last race is fantastic for me so I am really looking forward to it and I am really optimistic for Sunday, again.”
“At the end the car balance was quite good. On my second lap we were quicker but I made a couple of mistakes in the first part of the lap, but we have a great pace for the race. The target is to be first into the first corner.”
“If we start as (well as) usual we can do well already in the first corner. I'm confident of that - if we get a good start then I think we can be very strong tomorrow afternoon.”
