'The best day of my life' - Antonelli reflects on maiden Formula 1 victory in Shanghai

So Kimi, could you just give me a little bit of insight into how crazy your life has been in these last two weeks since your maiden Grand Prix win? Yeah, it's been crazy, but I've been enjoying the moment, it's been good fun and at the same time just moved the focus very quickly onto this weekend because obviously China was incredible, winning Shanghai was probably the best day of my life so far, but we still got 20 races left, so just want to keep the momentum going and hopefully we can achieve something great this weekend as well. Thank you. Good luck. Hi Kimi, congratulations for China. Can you just talk me through some of the feelings and reactions that you got from friends and family and yourself as well, reflecting on that amazing moment when you stood on the podium at the top step? Yeah, definitely I had a lot of nice messages, a lot of support and definitely coming back home, seeing my whole family was a great moment, seeing my mum, my sister, obviously my dad was there with me, but seeing the rest of the family was great and my friends made me a surprise as well, they actually were at my house when I landed, so it was super nice. Yeah, and also I took a little bit of time for myself to analyse and realise what happened, but yeah, it was great, it was a great week, managed to recharge, give it the batteries and do the preparation ahead of this weekend. When did you make the switch last week from celebrating and everything that you just told us about to, okay, we have another weekend in Japan, it will be a very good opportunity to win again? Well, definitely I had a couple of days where I enjoyed the moment, but then very soon I flew to the UK, did a couple of days there, did a simulator and started working already on Japan, so that was the moment where I said, okay, now it's time to think about Suzuka because obviously it's really good momentum, the car is super quick, so I just want to maximise every opportunity. Qualifying, is that now the focus? You know, I mean it was kind of made on Saturday, just like George's win in Australia was kind of made on Saturday? Yeah, I mean, we know how important qualifying is, even though with these regs it seems like with the overtake mode you can still have a decent chance, but of course, you know, you start on pole and a lot of things are easier, so you have free air and everything, so definitely qualifying is very important and it's going to be a point where it still needs the most work, but I think China was a good step forward in terms of how I executed the qualifying despite some issues, so it was good, I was happy with it, but of course there's still a lot of work to do. There was a lot of talk about fighting for a first championship after the first win, so I need you to help me, after how many race wins do you think it's logical to ask you about fighting for a championship this year? I think, yeah, I still need to like this season get two, three more, but you know, in a short term, but of course, you know, I really want to be in this fight, because we have a great car and great opportunity, of course, still definitely there's one thing that I'm lacking is experience still, because it's only my second year and experience is something that you cannot buy, but I'm going to try to be ready for anything and, you know, for every kind of situation, just to be able to put myself in the best position as possible in case the opportunity presents, so I know we have a really good car and I'm going to try to maximise every result and hopefully this weekend is going to be a good one.
