QUALIFYING REPORT
Afterwards the defending
champion admitted that margin
was tight but added that “it
doesn’t matter how far you
are ahead, as long as you are
ahead”.
“In practice it was a much
bigger gap than,” he continued.
“, I just didn’t have the pace that
I had yesterday but clearly it was
enough. There was definitely
more time in it. But it was great to
see how close we all were, I think
that’s great for the fans to see.
It’s going to be interesting race
but [pole] is the best place to start
that’s for sure.”
Rosberg, meanwhile, said
that he had been pleased with his
first run in Q3 and that in the race
“everything is possible”.
“The first lap in Q3 was
good. Not quite enough to beat
Lewis but it was still a good lap,”
he said. “Next one I tried to pull
one out of the bag but it didn’t
work out, so that’s it, so second
place. Still a good team result
of course, again to show that
we are the fastest, the fastest
car, which has been great, even
on this very unique track here.
Yeah, for the race everything
is still possible, you know, the
weather forecast is all over the
place, and from second place
it’s all doable.”
