Q: (Michael Schmidt – Auto Motor und Sport) Fernando, you decided to use the harder tyre in the middle stint. Why? Was it a good idea?
FA: Well, as I said before, being fourth in the second corner and with one or two laps less fuel than our main opponents, I think your race is a little bit over. It is difficult to overtake anyone on the track and I think that strategically it is difficult to stop one or two laps earlier. So at that time we thought that the prime tyre was maybe a surprise in terms of grip and performance – we were unsure before the race – so we took the gamble. We took the prime tyre in the first stint and kept our fingers crossed and waited to see the result. Looking back at the race, it was not a very good idea because when I put the soft tyres on after the second stop, for the last stint, the car became much quicker and easier so maybe the softer tyre was quicker and better for the middle stint. But I think the final result would have been exactly the same if I had put the same tyres as Lewis and Felipe I would have been behind them all through the race.
