2016 BRAZILIAN GRAND PRIX

It was a frustrating race , we never really felt like we got lucky with the strategy ; every time we made a change with the tyres there was a safety car or a red flag . We lost positions and obviously we could not predict what was going to happen and we felt a little bit on the back foot . But the real difficulty was my visibility , which was a struggle as my visor kept fogging up . I kept opening my visor and trying to wipe it but it ’ s never happened before , and it held me back . It ’ s a shame as the car was a lot better than eighth , when we had a clear track our speed was good . It was tricky out there , for example with Kimi , I didn ’ t see him crash in front of me . It wasn ’ t until I got back to the pits and saw a replay I knew he ’ d crashed . From that point of view they obviously make some good calls with red flags . I ’ m glad we got to race and glad we could finish it , and that despite some crashes everyone was safe . The fans put up with a long afternoon so thanks to them for staying with it .
