“Fantastic, I can not find words to describe the emotions I feel after a race so close. The duel at the start was very tight: I took some risks, but absolutely not want to lose the position and that means we touch, when he came to me. Fortunately, the car was not hurt, so he was immediately able to break away from my pursuers. I wanted a excellent lead straight away so I can manage situation in the second stint and it was the race, “Massa shares.
During the press conference of the winners, Massa reported a trace of nerves happened on the track. He said: “Well, it was a bit tight for two (Alonso), but I was just inside for him and so it was quite a risk for both, but Looking at the competition and all, the first corner is vital. I do not want to miss as I’m in Malaysia. I was inside, so I just tried to stay there. ”
When questioned if there was contact between him and Fernando at the first corner, Massa said: “Yes, we touched. The two were very close to entering the first corner. Fernando was trying to push in and not played. It was a touch low, but was also a small worried for my car afterwards but fortunately nothing happened. ”
Massa said: “I reckon the toughest part of the race was the beginning. It was hard enough, but then I saw that nothing happened to my car, the car was really excellent and I was fixing to make a difference, a pretty excellent gap, but once that after that, I had the race in my hands. I was concerned only about the car, which was the second race for the engine, but looking at the distance he was building, I reckon he had the race in my hands there. ”
In Spanish this year’s Awards, Grand, Hamilton became the youngest driver to lead the F1 drivers’ championship, beating the record from 1960 by Bruce McLaren – the founder of the McLaren team.
“Going into the race, we knew we had a very excellent strategy. This topic can not really overcome if the key is to try to get the best position in the first corner and if the goal was to get as much Places in the first corner and luckily I passed Kimi, but Fernando and Felipe touched and I have exceeded Fernando. It was close, I reckon that when he returned, he nearly hit me, but nevertheless we managed to complete. No everyone has the pace of Felipe but I reckon we have taken a step further and, as I said earlier, we will soon, “joked Hamilton.
He said: “We’re trying to choose whether to run two primes or an option or a cousin in the second or third season and we were not really sure and five laps before the pit stop, he took the choice and sticks to the skin and I reckon went well. But as I said, we had problems in the second stint with a bit of oversteer, but the team did a fantastic job over the last four weeks, really, really pushed hard, so thanks to all the guys home. You really did a fantastic job and I’m pleased for the team. We lead the constructors’ title and now leads the championship (for drivers). ”
Speaking of having more fuel on board Massa, Hamilton said it was a key issue. He added: “He (Massa) was enough to get a excellent advantage. So when he sets before me, a couple of laps before I knew it would be quick, but I do not return until after four seconds, then j ‘I had to keep pushing and try to do the best job I could, but again the second stint was not fantastic. But in the end, I reckon we had a very excellent pace and very similar time Felipe. ”
“I keep saying I am living my dream and it’s really right, you know. I worked very hard for this and only come to my fourth Grand Prix out of him the first world championship when I drive with the best drivers in the world is unbelievable, “Hamilton said.
Alonso squeezed with high expectations in his home country, has this to say about the first corner: “Well, it was very tight. I reckon the start was very similar between the two cars, but of course I Thank’m behind Felipe and the track was a small quicker. I went outside, braked later and I reckon it was much more to it in the first corner, but unfortunately do not reckon so and we touched each other. We were fortunate at a time until the end of the race because in 99 percent of these incidents, both ends of the cars (his career) at the first corner. Sometimes I reckon this kind of thing is very perilous. ”
Alonso has hinted his obvious disappointment at the races in his home Grand Prix. He said: “Of course, there are certainly disappointed with the race. After the first corner, you can try as hard as you can, you can place on different sets of tires compared to its competitors, you can place whatever you want. But being fourth, as I said, Thanks to Kim’s retirement – otherwise he would probably not be on stage – After the start of the second, not the goal of the race. ”
This meeting was the fourth race of the season and the fourth time the BMW Sauber F1 Team had a car finished fourth. BMW brake dust shields, and several parts of intense racing can make a difference in the next event. In Spain, it was Robert Kubica who contributed five points for the team championship counting.

Bur regardless he continues to shine as he did in his land last Sunday.    On the other hand; Ferrari drivers Raikkonen and Massa will not miss a chance to grasp any possible points in the coming competitions especially Raikkonen who is the title defender.
