2016 CHINESE GRAND PRIX EDITION
Overall it was quite an encouraging
race. I thought we were close in our
pace to Ferrari; through the race we
were challenging them but we had to fit
medium which is the stiffer compound
compared to soft. When we both were on
the soft, I think our pace was very similar
and obviously Mercedes is still a bit of a
step ahead but with the developments
in the future races, probably around
Canada, I think we can make a bit of a
step forward. In some circumstances, I
think we can be quite a big challenge to
them and today, after the contact at turn
one my car was also quite damaged. I
don’t know at the moment how much, I
still haven’t spoken to the team but there
was a side pod damaged and I could
see some pieces flying away. I still have
to discover how much it was but all in all
today the race was promising and we
are on the right way.
