Something about Portugal worth learning

In Portugal, the air can be so dirty that it’s custom for people to occasionally spit on the floor.

One reason being because a lot of cars people drive are either old or aren’t always taken to repair shops, so they spew lead and chemicals in the air.

Another because a lot of old houses are either built close to roads or have sidewalks that are very short, so streets feel very cramped.

And then there’s stuff like construction sites and some places burning stuff nearby roads.

And this isn’t even getting into the severe storms in winter, fires in summer, the dangerous worm with burning hairs, sandstorms from Africa, maybe even if we get roped into war because of Iran or Russia etc.

2008 European Grand Prix - Post-race press conference

Q: Lewis, were you worried about Felipe’s strategy after qualifying?

Hamilton: No, we assumed that he would either go in the same lap as us or perhaps maybe longer but it turned out we were actually two laps longer than them. That was a good indication that we have had good pace all weekend and really showed we were strong this weekend. I think throughout the race they seemed to show a little bit more pace on the longer stints. I think we stayed pretty close in the first stint, but I think towards the end he was edging away a little bit. But however I was still really happy with the pace of my car and they fuelled me two laps longer. It was unfortunate as I came out so close to Felipe, so perhaps if we were going the same lap as him maybe we would have come out a bit closer or had the chance to battle. But this is racing and the great thing is we came away with some strong points for myself and for the team. The great thing is we are showing that we have great reliability and that is due to all the team doing a fantastic job.

Q: You mentioned that you have been handicapped by a health problem this weekend. Could you just tell us exactly what the problem has been?

Hamilton: Yeah. I’ve had a pretty miserable weekend, really. I had the ‘flu when I arrived I had pretty hard fevers pretty much every day and low energy. I also had quite a big problem with a spasm in my neck which kind of nearly did lead to me not racing this weekend.

Q: What was the circuit like to race on in the end?

Hamilton: To race on - I really enjoyed it. I think the people here have done a fantastic job preparing it. I think the weather has been great, the atmosphere has been phenomenal. The Spanish people have been great. I think also the marshals have done a fantastic job in clearing cars that have been off the track. I think they’re probably the quickest I have ever seen in my whole racing career. I was very impressed with that. But just racing on the track was generally very good, the track was very safe. It’s difficult to overtake but that’s Formula One, so I was happy.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Jon McEvoy - The Daily Mail) Lewis, just going back to your neck, when were the spasms at their worst and how did you get over the spasm?

Hamilton: I only had it once. I just woke up very, very early yesterday, before 5 a.m. yesterday, and I had the spasm in my neck. Fortunately I’ve got a great doctor who was with me the whole way through it. It was so bad that I was struggling to basically stand up and so I had to have injections in my neck and take plenty of painkillers. Fortunately, as I said, I have a great trainer who helped. Pedro (de la Rosa) was looking forward to racing!

Q: (Will Buxton - Australasian Motorsport News) Lewis, going back to the spasm, you said the race today wasn’t incredibly physical for you. Obviously we’re going to Spa in two weeks’ time. Do you know if this spasm is something that will recur and if it is, is the hard physical nature of Spa going to affect it unduly?

Hamilton: No, it won’t be a problem again, I’m pretty sure. It’s still sore! It was probably something to do with my pillow, the way I was sleeping, because it was just when I woke up. I think I’ve done a pretty decent job, considering.

Kubica: I know a driver who brought his own pillow with him to every race.

Hamilton: Isn’t that you?

Kubica: No.

Hamilton: I thought you were bringing a teddy actually.

Q: (Livio Oricchio - O Estado de Sao Paulo) Lewis, you won in Silverstone and Hockenheim, fantastic victories and then in Hungary and here Ferrari showed very, very good pace, especially in race conditions. Do you think they are more or less at the same level as you because it looks like you were faster in the two races you won?

Hamilton: I think it looks pretty well balanced. I think if you look at the whole field they all seem to be relatively close through qualifying but I think then the better car really does tend to look after its tyres a little bit better and has better longer stints, so I think we’re both pretty close there, perhaps they’re a little bit better during the race but I think in qualifying we’re quite close.

Q: (Michael Schmidt - Auto Motor und Sport) Lewis, was the side of the grid a disadvantage today or would it have been a different story if the side had been as initially planned?

Hamilton: I don’t think it was too much of a disadvantage. I think for sure everyone on the right did seem to get a better start, and I noticed through the race I was actually driving on that side, the pole side of the grid the whole time, so it must have been the cleaner side but it sure looked that way at the start because Felipe and Heikki got better starts. From looking in the mirror, Heikki jumped Kimi, is that right?

Q: (Jon McEvoy - The Daily Mail) Lewis, I was wondering whether you really believe that the stewards are going to award you the victory?

Hamilton: Absolutely not.

Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) To both Lewis and Felipe, can I just get your assessment now that we’re two thirds of the way through the season, six races to go in the title race. You’ve both talked about consistency being the key, but is perhaps reliability now even more crucial, particularly for Felipe and Ferrari given the engine situation?

Hamilton: As you can see, reliability is the key and finishing and scoring points has got to be the goal for everyone. I’m not worried about the reliability of my car, as you can tell. The past year and a half we’ve had phenomenal reliability, and that’s obviously due to the whole package that the whole team has put together and the engine’s great, the car is great. We’ve not really got any problems. We can focus on developing the car rather than worrying about reliability which is a bonus for us.

Q: (Jon McEvoy - The Daily Mail) Lewis, just going back to your neck again…

Hamilton: No more questions on that really….

Q: (Jon McEvoy - The Daily Mail) … when you were driving was it giving you any bother?

Hamilton: Yes. It was pretty tough.

Massa: He lost half a second.

Hamilton: No, no. I never lose time.

2008 European Grand Prix - Post-quali press conference

Q: Lewis, are you pleased with your performance so far, and with the way you and the team have tackled the whole weekend given the new nature of this circuit?

Hamilton: I think we’ve done a great job. To come here, the way we’ve prepared, I think our approach was as good as ever. We really come here with quite a strong package and I think we are the closest to the Ferraris at least and I’m really quite happy with the job we did today. Being on the front row really puts us in a good position to fight for a win tomorrow. I’m very, very happy.

[[MORE]]

Q: Give us an idea of the state of the track because quite a few of the drivers are having little moments. Is it still quite slippery?

Hamilton: I don’t think it’s slippery. I think there’s grip out there but when you’re pushing on the limit, you eventually go over that grip level and that’s what everyone’s doing. Unfortunately Felipe was able to stay on that line, especially in the first sector and pull it out. I think everyone’s having some lock-up issues, locking the rears, locking the fronts and it’s really trying to find the best balance there, trying not to push too much but still pushing, trying to find the limit. I don’t think it’s a problem.

Q: How’s that going to manifest itself during the race itself? Obviously during a lap that’s one thing but the lock-ups, that sort of thing, hard braking here obviously.

Hamilton: Yeah, I think hard braking here… I think it’s quite a severe circuit for braking. I’m sure some people will be struggling but it won’t be a problem for us. I think tomorrow will be about managing the tyres and trying to make them last through a longer run but again, I don’t think we will have a problem.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (James Allen - ITV) I would like to ask Lewis and Felipe how the first two parts of this qualifying evolved for you because it seemed to take some time for both of your teams to fully get up to speed and we had some unusual names at the top of the time sheets for a while?

Hamilton: I thought Q1 was pretty sweet. I went out, did one lap and I was pole for the majority of the session. I’d done my time, I didn’t need to go out again and as the track evolved, people got quicker, that was quite simple I thought. In Q2 it was very, very surprising. We went out on the softer tyre and weren’t particularly able to improve the time that much, compared to the prime, and it was definitely a surprise that a few of the other teams were up front and so quick. So we did end up going out again, but again, we didn’t really need to.

Q: (Andrea Cremonesi - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Lewis, you’re starting on the front row with Felipe. We saw in Hungary that he overtook you in a fantastic way. Do you think there is some room to take revenge here?

Hamilton: As I say, it’s a good opportunity for me to start on the front row. We don’t know how the starts are going to be and being on the dirtier side or the cleaner side - I don’t particularly think there is a clean or dirty side. So I think tomorrow it’s important that we get a good start and I will be aiming to challenge Felipe but if I don’t get close enough, then I will just try to keep my position.

Q: (Andrea Cremonesi - La Gazzetta dello Sport) The second question is for everybody: we heard that there is some issue with the asphalt in the pit lane. Could you explain to us if there is some issue about it?

Hamilton: Regarding the pit lane, I don’t think there’s a real problem, not for us, at least.

2008 European Grand Prix - Thursday press conference

Q: Lewis, your first impressions?

Lewis HAMILTON: First of all it is great to be here in Valencia. I had a race here in GP2 in 2006 but this is really the first time, apart from the launch last year for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, into the city for me and it is a beautiful place. I think they have done a fantastic job in building the place up. It has got a great hotel and the track looks incredible. I think it looks pretty awesome, so I am looking forward to getting out on it tomorrow.

[[MORE]]

Q: Lewis, you’ve been quoted as saying consistency is the key to the rest of the championship. Why do you think there has been less consistency this year amongst all the championship contenders, in comparison to last year?

Hamilton: I can’t remember saying that but my guess is as good as yours. I think we are all pushing very, very hard, it’s a closer season than it was last year. I think all the teams are perhaps pushing even more to the edge and that’s where you really see mistakes starting to happen. This year there are lots of opportunities to make mistakes and there are lots of unknowns: we come to new circuits, lots of different things with the car. It’s nothing new but last year, for sure last year we had… I was looking at my results from last year; for the first nine or 12 races it was quite unreal. Who knows? We might have that another year but I think this year everyone has pretty much the same sort of run, especially us guys at the front.

Q: In Hungary, you had a long stint on the super soft tyre. Were you particularly pleased with the way that worked out because there have been problems with tyre wear? Have you changed anything?

Hamilton: Not really. I think the tyres were very similar. Obviously I had to change (tyres) at that time, so I think I did something like 30 laps or so on the softer tyre but it held together quite well for me and if anything, I was even more comfortable on that tyre than I was on the prime.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) Lewis and the other guys: I’ve just been with Fernando Alonso at his personal press conference. He’s just mentioned that in the light of what happened yesterday, the Spanish plane disaster, that he’s hoping to get you guys together to hopefully observe a minute’s silence as a mark of respect before practice. Presumably that is something you would be more than happy to go along with providing the FIA also agreed?

Hamilton: Yes. For me, I would definitely be looking forward to doing that. I just want to send out my heartfelt thoughts and best wishes to all the families and to all the people in Spain. I think it’s a tragedy, I was really sad to hear it had happened. We’re in a beautiful country, in a beautiful city. I just hope that doesn’t stall our weekend. I hope we are able to move on and do the country proud.

Q: (Peter Windsor - Speed Channel) Lewis, I’m just wondering what the verdict was on the puncture in Hungary, now that Bridgestone and your engineers have presumably had time to look at it? There was talk about possibly the serrated edge of the apex kerb on some of the corners being the cause. Equally, it may have been debris. Any information on that?

Hamilton: For me, I’ve not spoken to my engineers about it. That was the last race. You might want to ask them if you do a press conference with them, but for me it was a tyre failure, it was just one of those things, a little bit unfortunate, but I don’t think they really found the exact cause of it.

Q: (Livio Orrichio - O Estado de Sao Paulo) To all the drivers: are you satisfied with the run-off areas of the track?

Hamilton: I think they’ve done a good job.

Q: (Frederic Ferret - L'Equipe) Lewis, does your driving style lead to you having problems on some tyre compounds?

Hamilton: No, why would you say that?

Q: (Frederic Ferret - L'Equipe) Because of the puncture in Hungary and the one in Turkey last year.

Hamilton: I think in Turkey it was more about my driving style but I don’t think it was the case in Hungary.

Q: (Frederic Ferret - L'Equipe) Have you changed your driving style since last year?

Hamilton: No.

Q: (Ian Parkes - The Press Association) Lewis and Felipe, can we just get your thoughts on the title fight at this stage; what is going to be the key now towards winning the title?

Massa: Whether or not you are losing points which was already the key since the first race. It seems to be that all of us have lost important points this year. I think the key will be to be consistent which was already the key since the beginning of the first race which everybody was saying. It doesn’t change anything.

Hamilton: I agree.
