It has not reached the stage where I think 'hey I am not as good as these youngsters'. I want to be competing at the top and not just a run of the mill driver.

A lot of things need to happen for Alonso not to win it. I don't see them happening so for me the topic is over.

Whether both sides have genuinely reached a stage that they think they need to talk to each other, I don't know.

It's not looking too bad, to phrase it carefully. Or, to phrase it a little less careful: there are many things pointing in a good direction.

Our pace is good and so is our whole package. We're back. Our new aerodynamics and also our improvements in the engine are a definite step in the right direction.

I am not happy with my lap this afternoon. It started well, but towards the middle section I began to lose grip and I think this was because the tyre pressures went up higher than we wanted, causing me to slide around. But, looking at the data, it seems it was not just down to the pressures, so the track must have been more slippery than in the morning, which can be seen from looking at the other drivers' times. When I saw my lap time, I expected to be much further back on the grid, so this is not such a bad result at the end of the day.
