AUSTRALIAN GP:
POINTS BUT PROBLEMS TOO
fact, the extra formation lap, combined with several laps spent
behind the Safety Car meant that the anticipated need for drivers
to slow and save fuel was less visible than expected.
STEFANO DOMENICALI: “The first race of the championship has
provided a clear picture of the hierarchy at the start of season. It’s also shown which teams appear to have done the best
job of dealing with these new regulations. Today, we achieved
our objective in terms of reliability, but the gap we need to
make up, especially to Mercedes, was clear to see. The information we have gathered this weekend clearly points to the
direction we must take and what areas need the most work. It
will be important to catch up as quickly as possible and react
in the way this team has always proved capable of doing. Our
engineers know what the priorities are and which areas need
the most immediate attention.”
After the lights went out, Fernando dropped one place to sixth
but retook Hulkenberg to go fifth, while Kimi stormed up to
eighth, lucky to survive being hit by Kobayashi’s Caterham at Turn
1. Hamilton made a bad start from pole so that Mercedes team
mate Rosberg led, from Ricciardo in the Red Bull, with Magnussen
up to third for McLaren. Fernando dropped behind the Force India

u FERNANDO ALONSO: “I’d have liked to start the season with a podium,
but getting both cars to the flag is a good result, which can give us confidence, especially on the reliability front. I had some problems with the
electric motor at the start and had to make a few changes from the steering wheel, but after the first ten laps everything went well. When I managed to pass Hulkenberg after the pit stop my pace was definitely better,
although it was impossible to overtake. 35 seconds down on the leader is too
big a gap and to work out what we need to do to close that gap, we will need
to analyse the race, work out what are the strong and weak points on the car
and with that in mind, the laps I did behind Nico can provide very
useful information. We are a great team and I have
total faith in our guys, because they did a
great job today. We still have lots to
learn about this new Formula 1, as
the race was very strange and
very difficult. But it’s only
the start. We must concentrate on doing better
in Malaysia.”
t KIMI RAIKKONEN: “That wasn’t a
straightforward race. At the start, I managed to get away well and even though I
was hit from behind by another car at the
first corner, my car was undamaged. The
speed was good, but at one point I was
suffering with graining on the front
tires, I had very little grip and a lot of
understeer. From then on, the car’s
handling was not the same. When it
was time for the first stop, we had to
do a double stop and that cost me a
place. It’s definitely too early to make
any definite judgement, because even if
at the moment we don’t seem to be in
great shape, we still managed to finish
the race, scoring valuable points.”
