Adrian, a strong weekend in Abu Dhabi must have felt very satisfying…?
I think P8 and P9 was a great result for us. We did all we could and came away with a result that we were all happy with. I was very close to Michael [Schumacher] for the whole race but our pace was so similar that I could not get in his DRS zone towards the end of the race. It’s good to be in a position to fight with Mercedes and we definitely looked much stronger than in India, which is a good sign for Brazil.
So do you feel you can deliver a similar performance in Brazil?
I think we should be strong in Interlagos, too. In Abu Dhabi we achieved the maximum because the cars ahead of us were too quick, so we have to aim for the same this weekend. Personally I would love to finish ninth in the drivers’ championship and to do that I need to score at least four points.
What memories do you have of racing in Brazil?
It’s always a really special race. The crowd is very loud and they create an amazing atmosphere. Even when you are driving the car you can hear the crowd cheering. As for my results there, I have both good and bad memories. 2009 was great when I qualified third on the grid, but in the race things did not go to plan. In fact, I’ve never had much luck racing in Brazil and I’ve yet to score a point at Interlagos. I really want to change that this year!
