British GP-Kimi's Column 03/07/2007 The patience was rewarded. Winning is always nice. It never happens too early or too late. It was, obviously, along time ago we won in Melbourne. Now we finally got everything right in Magny-Cours. It is a relief, for sure. It does not really change anything, but for the whole team it was good. Our life is alittle bit easier for now on. Everybody can feel more relaxed while knowing that our persistent work has been successful. We are heading for the right direction. I was asked how painful it has been to loose so many races in a row. But it was not that painful, really. While we knew all the time what caused the problem and we were able to work to improve the things, we were confident that the result will come at the end of the day. Like it did. I have had no doubt that I could have lost my skill of driving. There has never been even a slightest doubt of my motivation or of my confidence. It was just a question of getting everything right with the whole package. It was a real good car already in the Indy race, but it did not work out exactly right. Magny-Cours just proved that our feeling was right. Now we have the car to fight for the victories. Winning the opening race in Melbourne did not give us a wrong picture. We knew that the problem was there, although the car worked well in that circuit. I was asked after The French Grand Prix that we now back where we were in Australia. Hopefully we are, but I really do not know. The next race in Silverstone will tell more. Now we go with good feelings to promote the new Fiat 500 in Turin on Wednesday and from there we carry on with the team to Silverstone. I think it was a good timing for our first 1-2 result just after celebrations of Ferrari's 60 years. Of course the team expects us to get the same kind of a result from every race. Silverstone is such a nice circuit to race. I have always liked it. Now before Magny-Cours we had a very strong test there. If we get all the parts we tested there to the car, Ferrari will be even more competitive next weekend. I would not draw any conclusion from the gap between Ferrari and McLaren. I guess that it depends a lot on the circuit how well there cars go. We were behind McLaren at Indy, but in France it did the opposite and we were ahead. That is why it would be just a vast of energy to think beforehand which team might be leading in Silverstone. We have to wait and see, how it goes there from Friday on. We know that we are working to the right direction. I have now a very good feeling with the car. It feels just great to get back to racing again just after a couple of days, while the last weekend was so good. Hopefully see you in the podium again! ___________________________________________________ 英国大奖赛－Kimi专栏 03/07/2007 坚忍不拔，玉汝于成。 胜利总是美好的。它从不会早早前来，也不会姗姗来迟。显然，在墨尔本的胜利已经好遥远了。现在我们终于在马尼库尔让一切回到正轨。我肯定，这是一种信念的支撑。胜利并没有改变什么，然而却让全队上下心情舒畅。 我们的日子从此会比之前好过些。每个人在得知持续不断的工作获得成效后都如释重负。我们在往
正确的
方向行进。 我曾被问及当在竞争中大幅度掉队时有多么痛苦——然而真的，没那么痛苦。当我们一直都清楚问题出在哪儿并且通过努力工作得以解决的时候，我们是有信心胜利最终会到来的。诚如所发生的一切。 我从来不曾怀疑我的驾驶技术是否退化。我的动力和信心从未有丝毫动摇——极度轻微的动摇都没有。这只不过是我和车队需要逐渐磨合而已。 在印第安纳波利斯，车子就显示了足够好的性能，不过在美国它并未被发挥出来。马尼库尔的胜利是用来证明，我们的感觉是对的。 现在我们有了为胜利而战的车。 在墨尔本的胜利没有以错误的图景蒙蔽我们的双眼。我们很清楚问题的存在，尽管我的车在那条赛道的表现不错。 在法国大奖赛后有人对我说：你们回到澳大利亚站的状态了。但愿如此，不过我真的不能下定论。下一站在银石的比赛会昭示更多。 现在我们兴致颇好地去都灵为新型菲亚特500做宣传，时间是星期三。在那之后我们将整队前往银石赛道。 我和马萨在庆祝法拉利60岁生日之后取得了1+2的战绩，这实在是个美妙的时刻。当然，车队希望我们在每一站都都继续这股势头。 银石是非常棒的一条赛道。我一直都很喜欢它。在去马尼库尔之前我们在那里完成了非常强势的测试工作。如果测试的成果都能加于今后的赛车，法拉利就会在下周末前所未有地具有竞争力。 我不想对于法拉利和迈凯轮的差距下任何结论。我觉得那很大程度上得取决于车子在赛道上的表现。在印第安纳波利斯我们落后于迈凯轮，但在法国截然相反，我们
遥遥领先
。 这就是为何思考“哪支车队会在银石一马当先”时会令人莫大地振奋。我们得拭目以待，从周五开始会有怎样的戏码上演。 我们心知肚明，工作正朝着正确的方向前行，现在我对车子的感觉颇佳，而在不长的几天之后再度比赛也令人兴奋不已——当上个周末是如此完美。 希望我能够再度于领奖台上望向你们！
