Q: Kimi, a good points’ scoring day for you. Tell us about that first corner incident with Heikki Kovalainen which resulted in a puncture for your compatriot.Kimi Raikkonen: I didn’t have a very good start. I got to the side of him on the braking. Then I got a little bit squeezed on the inside and I tried to slow down and get behind him, but he just turned in a little bit. The unfortunate thing for both of us is that I broke the front wing and he had a puncture. It didn’t help for either of us. We chose to use the front wing for the whole race because it takes too long to change it and it wasn’t too bad. The weekend was a little bit difficult but at least we got some good points and we need to get a better weekend at the next race.Q: What was the handling like with the broken front wing as you did set the fastest race lap?KR: It wasn’t too bad, but it never helps as the end of the wing was damaged. It is difficult to say how much better or different it would have been with the proper wing but for sure it doesn’t help you.Q: Part of that was starting on the slow, the dirty side of the grid, which was the result of a relatively poor qualifying for you. Can you talk us through your problems up to qualifying?KR: It wasn’t the best qualifying for me, but it has been my weakest points. We had a bit more fuel than the others which is one reason but also the lap wasn’t as good as I wanted. But anyhow I think it all started on Friday when we had a problem. But like I said we had a difficult weekend but I am still happy being in third place and we didn’t lose too many points. It is early season and we still have good points, so we will see what we can do in the next few races. The next two races last year were very difficult for us so we need to see how strong we can be and hopefully we can challenge for wins and go from there.

Q: Kimi, you were saying you weren’t too badly affected by the front wing damage,could you see what it was, could you feel it at all?KR: I knew pretty much what had happened. I hit the rear wheel of Heikki and the bottom of the end plate came off. I didn’t look at the end how much it was damaged but for sure it doesn’t help, but it’s difficult to say how much the difference was.Q: Are you in agreement with Felipe that perhaps the harder tyre was easier to use?KR: Yeah, if I’d chosen now I would go onto the harder tyres at the first pit stop but it’s too late. I think the first set of soft worked pretty well for me, but the second set, when it was new, was quite difficult and it was at a point when we needed to be faster, so that’s one of the reasons that we lost second place, but anyhow, it’s been a difficult weekend, so third place is the best we could do.Q: Did you pretty much settle for third, one hoped you would have a go at Lewis at the end?KR: For sure we tried to be in second place but we couldn’t, so I would rather take third than anything else.

Q: (Will Buxton – Australasian Motorsport News) A question for all three of you: you’ve pretty much all admitted that the hard tyre is the one you would have preferred to have been on all weekend for the race. With that in mind and looking at the final stage of the race – the only time you were on the same fuel weights – how much do you feel the teams are now more on an even playing field, given that your sector times were pretty much identical to each other for the last ten/fifteen laps?LH: Coming into this weekend we knew that we had closed the gap, that we were going to be competitive and possibly be able to win the race. They still have a strong car but so do we, as you can see. The first two sectors were very strong. We need to figure out exactly how we can improve our last sectors because that’s where we are losing. If we didn’t have the problem in the last sector then we would be winning, so that’s something that we need to fix.FM: Well, I think we were very strong here during the first day, we were very strong yesterday during qualifying, seeing that we had more fuel than Lewis and similar fuel as Heikki. But I think in the race, it’s difficult to measure. For sure, McLaren was very very strong here on the race pace, but we had a completely different choice of tyres, so maybe we need to wait and see when we have exactly similar conditions, run-by-run, plus they had a different strategy as well, so we need to wait and see, but for sure, they were very very competitive here.KR: It’s the same answer really. It’s very difficult to say. Everybody did slightly different things, so you cannot really be a hundred per sure, but I still think that once we get everything running, we can win all the races, so every race we at least have a chance. For sure it’s closer now than it was a few races ago but I still think we have a good car and a good package.

记者想知道前鼻翼坏到什么地步，kimi说有一块反正是掉了，没用处了，但是看来那块东西对kimi影响不大，应该是车跑起来的时候有一些不同，但是可以通过驾驶操纵弥补吧俺8是技术人员

宝说牌位赛现在是他最薄弱的环节，宝，使劲飚

傻啦，排位赛
