2007 Malaysian Grand Prix – Quotes & Moments…

Apr 11th, 2007 by Haas

Lewis Hamlinton (post race press conference):

That was the most difficult race I’ve ever had. To see two Ferraris behind you, two red blobs in the mirrors, knowing that they’re slightly lighter than you and slightly quicker than you, it’s very, very difficult to keep them behind. Felipe had a couple of moves, I think he tried into turn four a couple of times, but fortunately I was able to trick him into out-braking himself and get my car stopped and it was very fortunate that I was able to cut across and get back in front of him, to the point where he eventually went off, so I apologise for that but at the end of the day, we got the points, so it doesn’t really matter.

Two Red Blobs… Intresting description for the Scarlet cars!
“Trick him”… Talk about adding salt to the wounds.

Great race Hamlinton watch out for the two red blobs in Bahrain too

Giancarlo Fisichella:

This was the maximum I could do today – and in our situation at the moment, it feels like a podium finish. I am proud of the race I drove today

We are proud of you too Giancarlo… If the Renault was faster you could have fought with top 2 teams. The Drive of the day for me.

Felipe Massa,:

I tried to attack Lewis, but I made a mistake and ended up off the track

Nice try Massa but did that really surprise us? Remember Monza 2006, Qualification and you were running a fair distance behind another driver(much much more than you distance to Lewis on sunday) and we later were told that your run was spoiled by the other car… well with Lewis running so close this was just to happen… Hope you get ‘Clean Air’ at Bahrain, you seem to need it the most
