INTERLAGOS PODIUM I thought you might say that. Well, you gave us a thrill. The bravery when you guys just could not see. Did you guys see his incident? NR: I just saw him pointing 90 degrees towards the wall. LH: I saw both of theirs on the TV. MV: He was watching the TV! Well, you were cruising out front, Lewis. The showdown, then, in Abu Dhabi, 12 points, what’s it going to be Lewis, how do you go to Abu Dhabi? LH: Well, I’m hunting. I’m hunting and all I can do is do what I’m doing right now. The team have been giving me a great car and finding the reliability has been really good, so the results are really showing that. I’m going to go and give it everything I’ve got. Abu Dhabi is generally a really good track for me. But right now I’m just going to live in the moment. This has been my dream since the first time I watched Ayrton race, when I was five or six years old, so to win here… Your first victory in Brazil of course. LH: Exactly, exactly. And it’s the 44th grand prix here, so it’s kind of a lucky weekend. Where would you put this in your 52 wins, one of the tougher ones? One of the very toughest, top five? LH: For me, one the easier ones. It was a very easy race generally. Usually in the rain here it’s the hardest but honestly I didn’t have any spins, I didn’t really have any moments and it was pretty straightforward. Silverstone 2008 was way harder than this.
