Q: (Marco Evangelisti – Corriere dello Sport) Fernando, what were you thinking during the last lap when you seemed to pass two good meters away from the kerbs?
FA: I had my fingers crossed all the last lap because you never know what can happen. Yesterday we had a very strange problem in our fuel system which never happened (before) and we didn’t know if it was because of the bumpy track, because maybe I hit a kerb. We are still not sure about what happened yesterday, so the last lap was obviously quite a worry for me, but it was all OK.

Q: (Juha Päätalo – Financial Times Deutschland) Fernando, you had a short conversation with Lewis on the podium. Can you explain what you talked about?
FA: It’s a secret. No, we were talking about how physical the race was, nothing more.

Q: (Juha Päätalo – Financial Times Deutschland) Nico, when you had taken your penalty and you came back onto the track and you were fourth, what were your thoughts at that moment? Did you think it was going to be your day today?
NR: Well, no. At the time that the team said I had to have a ten second stop-and-go penalty, which I thought was going to come anyway, I thought it was all over again. Although I was P1, I was trying to go as hard as I could, I was enjoying it while I was out front, but I thought it was all over again, because I had to come in. Then I dropped to sixth and then they said to me that the guys in front still need to stop, so it was looking great again. It was me racing Fernando. I thought I might have a chance against him but he was just a bit too quick today but still, it’s been a great result for us. And I think the team has also done a fantastic job because we also struggled with brakes and also had some problems with the bumpiness on the track. We had some issues with some things and they fixed up a whole load of things overnight in preparation for qualifying and everything held on great, so a big compliment to them also.

Q: (Jon McEvoy – The Daily Mail) Lewis, your lead is obviously extended now to seven points with three more rounds to go. It puts you in a strong position, stronger by six more points than earlier on today. What’s your frame of mind going into the last three races, bearing that in mind?
LH: It’s all about scoring points. We came here with a one point lead, and I could see that the Ferraris were very competitive this weekend and Felipe was driving very well, so I knew it would be very tough to beat them. Especially after the start I was just behind him and it seemed like he would perhaps be going to the same lap as me, so it just showed that his qualifying lap was phenomenal. So it would have been tough to score more points than him in this race but fortunately the race had a couple of incidents in it which didn’t benefit them but we did a solid job and came back with the points, so moving forward I think we approach it the same as we have this weekend and definitely don’t get ahead of ourselves because, as you can see, lots of things can happen, so we just focus on doing a solid job, scoring more points hopefully.

Q: (Ian Gordon – News of the World) Lewis, it looked on the TV that you were leaving the pits at the same time as Massa. Did you see Massa’s incident and what were your thoughts when it happened?
LH: His pit stop was further behind me, so I didn’t see exactly what happened. I just saw him come past with the fuel nozzle connected to his car and he pulled off to the left before the end of the pit lane. But I wasn’t particularly focused on him, I was looking out for the red light, making sure I didn’t fall for that one this time.
