For a change, it was nice to come back home from a race weekend. Looking at it, the most positive thing of the both weekends was to be strong in the qualifying----at least.
The car is more to my liking and, because of that, we started from the front row both at Fuji and at Shanghai.It gave a good feeling. Finally we got something back from the hard work the team has done with the car. Obviously, we have done some things right, while the results have improved
I like sushi and chinese food, too, but, of course, I liked it more to get back to the podium. We need a strong finish for the season. A positive finish gives a positive feeling for the long winter and a good starting point for the next year.The possibility of a win was almost there. But the race pace was not enough in China.
I’ve got a better feeling with the car all the time. That felt positive, but still it was not 100% we wanted it to be. We could not exactly match the speed of Mclaren during the whole weekend. Hamilton was quicker than us in the first laps of the race and, again, quicker with the new tyers after the stops. We managed to get a little bit closer, but , obviously, it was too late.
While we had the same amount of the fuel, only their mistake would have made it possible to try to beat Hamilton.

Last year I had the best weekend of my life in Brazil. I will never forget that. Now we head for Brazil again and, obviously, what happened there last time, will give me such a great feeling again. This time we try our very best to repeat that 1-2 result again. We try to fight for the win and we monitor what is happening and act accordingly.
My approach is the same like going to the last two races. The qualifying is very important. The front row would be fantastic again. Let’s wait and see, how it pays out this time.
We made the best out of it from the positon we had in China. While I cannot win the drivers’ championship any more, it was the same for me to finish second and third. The main thing was to get 14 points for Ferrari. The team still fights hard fot the both championships.
I’m a team member and I’m more happy to do my share and to help the team to win the championships in the season final.
