It is very difficult to win a championship, and you need a lot of things around you to have the chance. Last year, I started the season dreaming of, maybe, winning one race and getting regular podiums, but we won the title. In 2006, I know we have a competitive car in the R26, so my only goal is to repeat the title.

It means we are extremely competitive. It shows we are the car to beat.

It was my only opportunity to win the race. I was going for it. I really knew the car was faster than Michael's with the tires, especially the first laps.

I know that the R26 is a highly competitive car and it can only be my goal to defend my title.

We don't have the quickest car but we're taking the opportunities McLaren is giving to us. Tomorrow I hope to have a good start and can even think to win the race.

The tyre change doesn't help Michelin. We maybe will lose one of our advantages. The car is a little slow because of the new rules.

The car feels like it did in winter testing. It is comfortable to drive and consistent, so I am quite happy with our situation. It was a special moment to go out on the track with the No. 1 on the car.

The car was perfect, ... Tomorrow I am full of confidence for all the team.

There's nothing new on our car since Australia.
