George, big, big battle out there today. P2 at the end of it. How do you sum it all up on your side?
Intense day. Obviously race start, Ferrari got the upper hand of us. Safety car restart, they got the upper hand of us.
And unfortunately that sort of hindered my chances of going for victory.
Kimi did a great job, so really well done to him.
But Ferrari once again, three races down, three races that made our life pretty awkward in those opening laps.
So at least I'm glad it provided some good entertainment for you.
You touched on it there, Kimi's first win. You've been in their shoes before.
A little bit more about what this day will mean to him and then moving forward as a team to Japan.
It's a day that you remember forever, so a very special moment.
It brings back some memories, but it was only a matter of time for him.
He's an incredible driver, he's got a huge amount of talent and I'm sure it's going to be a tight year.
