Christian Horner: "Amazing Race"

Christian Horner, Team Principal: "Amazing Race. I think everyone was surprised when Fernando at the first corner took leadership – it changed the dynamics of the race. He had not come very quickly, which restrained the rest, we were able to withdraw before it Sebastien, but not Mark's – in a Ferrari watching our actions. It was a combination of interaction and strategy. Sebastian had to overtake Jenson and weight in order to realize our plan. We are seriously endangered, but he coped with his task. Unfortunately for Mark, he spent the first half of the race behind Alonso, but then we were able to outwit opponents. " Sebastian Vettel (1 st): "Today the race was very difficult. I thought that I had a good start, but I do not understand how Fernando could be ahead. On the starting grid, he stood in 16 meters behind, and in the middle of the line was already riding nearby. He moved inside, attacking Mark, I took the outer radius, and eventually Alonso took the lead in the first corner. Later, I could not get close enough to use to attack the managed element rear wing, but the pit stop, came forward. We quickly used up all sets of soft tires, so almost half of the race I had to hard rubber. It seemed that the car McLaren are very competitive, they were able to travel a greater distance in each set, and Lewis has reduced the gap to the second. After that, I realized that the finish will not be easy – for the last ten quarters were feeling the same as in China – with each round tires lose their effectiveness, and I prayed that the same had happened to Lewis. He caught up and was very fast, especially in the last sector, but at the last two quarters I was able to control the situation. KERS system refused, I had to adjust the brake balance – today, McLaren and Hamilton's great complicate our lives. I was relieved to cross the finish line, I knew that had won and was very happy. Excellent result. As expected, the rivals of the McLaren and Ferrari are chosen closer, but today I am pleased with the result. " Mark Webber (4 th): "I do not think I started badly, but Fernando has started phenomenal! We're at it obviously did not count, so on have something like a game of chess – all depended on the pit stops, and I can not say that a lot of fighting. At the finish I was almost forty minutes lost to Lewis and Sebastian. Day was interesting, every time Fernando had called for a pit stop with me for some segments, I was quick on the other – no, but so too was this race. "
