Kimi Antonelli : “It’s going to be very interesting how we do there, but for sure Ferrari is the favourite because obviously also with that winglet they have in the back, it’s giving them a lot of downforce at low speed.
“For sure it’s going to be interesting, but I’ll try to do my best, to put myself in the best position and to achieve the best result possible.”

George vs Kimi, all year ?
: The car’s obviously great to drive. How much are you looking forward to this weekend? And if I can ask, what was the reception like in Yokohama when everyone... You stepped out the F40 and everyone realized it was the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton in there?
Sir : Yeah. Um, well, I mean, I, obviously there’s lots of different views on, um, this year’s generation of car, but I mean, for me, it’s just exciting that it’s a new era for the sport.
I think every, every time it has been a new era, it’s always been exciting to see where people come out, and I’m proud of the team, the work we’ve done over the last year to get us this, to this point and be closer to the front and, and in the battle I think is, is really a, a showing of the amazing work the team’s done.
Of course, there’s bits that I don’t love, like the deployment and the lift and coast, some things that we happen to do, and SM, it’s all not ideal, but racing-wise, it’s been really, really fun.
Um, that race I had with Charles just in the second race was one of the most fun races I’ve had. I think other than that was maybe me and Nico in, in Bahrain many years ago. Um, so I just hope we get more of that because it’s, it’s, that’s what racing’s about. It’s like back and forth, back and forth, rather than one overtake and it’s over. So I personally enjoy that. Um, and my point I was making earlier is that in karting, no one’s... It happens in karting all the time, back and forth, back and forth. No one ever calls it yo-yo racing. It’s real racing. So whoever’s coming up with that is... Yeah. That’s it.
Something interesting I’ve listened to
What ? got some points today, wow

At least there’s no lies there
Q: (Oliver van Bronswijk – The Roar) A question to all three of you. Lando in the pen described the overtake button as creating “artificial racing”. You all had a good amount of wheel-to-wheel combat. Do you think, or do you like the system, or do you think it was detrimental to some of the racing action?
GR: It’s different, it’s definitely different. But I think the interesting thing with these regs is every track we go to, they’re not always going to be like this. You know, we’re going to Shanghai next where you’ve got one big, long straight, so the majority of drivers will be using their energy on that one straight. You don’t need to divide it up between four like you do here in Melbourne. So, everyone’s very quick to criticise things. You need to give it a shot, you know. We’re 22 drivers. When we’ve had the best cars and the least tyre degradation and when we’ve been happiest, everyone moans the racing’s rubbish. Now drivers aren’t perfectly happy and everyone said it was an amazing race. So, you can’t have it all, and I think we should just give it a chance and see after a few more races.
Q: (Phil Duncan – PA) To George, just following on from the question about Lando and his comments. Obviously yesterday he said as well that we’ve gone from the best ever cars to drive to the worst. Is that just sour grapes from him because McLaren aren’t where they were and you guys have got a big advantage?
GR: Yeah, well, he’s always… yeah, yeah. I don’t know. If he was winning, I don’t think he’d be saying the same. You know, we weren’t happy with how stiff the cars were last year and the porpoising, and everyone had a bad back and drivers were complaining about that, but McLaren drivers said there was no porpoising even though we watched their car and they were porpoising. So, you know, everyone’s always looking to themselves and we’re all selfish in this regard. The truth is last year we had the same engine as them and McLaren did a better job than us and they beat us. Now McLaren have got the same engine as us, the same as Williams and the same as Alpine, and so far we’ve done a better job than them. So that’s just how the game goes.
