“I am happy with today’s result after a complicated weekend. Winning today was difficult but I did look a little better than the rest of the drivers of the second group, but maybe I have waited too long to attack. I’ve done everything in the last two laps and we’ve stayed very close. At the end of the quarter with the objective of cutting points to the leader. There is a lot left and we go for more in Japan.”
