Sebastian Vettel (STR3-03)
Pos. 6th
“Incredible! A perfect day.It was fun but tough and hot out there. It’s a nice racetrack. My start was not so good on the dirty side and going into Turn 1 I was right onthe limit and very close to Kimi and could defend my position against Jarno for thefirst stint, but he had a bit more fuel on board and stayed out an extra lap and heovertook me in the pits. But we can be very very happy with this result. We made nomistakes, no mistakes all weekend and maximised our performance. The wholeteam can be very proud of what it has achieved and hopefully, for the next races wecan be in the top ten again.”

“That was a very nice race, apart from the fact that I touched with Heidfeld whichbroke my wing, which was a real shame, as I had to do 17 laps like that, losingaround 20 seconds to the group I was in. The next two stints were good quality and Ihad a good pace. But I am happy with the result and I think we had the rightstrategy. It’s my best result since Australia and especially from the second stintonwards I felt much more comfortable and confident with the car and felt I couldpush as the track rubbered in. As for the next races, I continue to tackle them one ata time and hope that next time out in Spa I can make it into the points.”
Franz Tost:
“All weekend, the team has performed excellently. We ended upwith both our drivers finishing where they started in sixth and tenth places, which isa solid result as all the top teams apart from Ferrari had both their cars finish. Vettelhad a good start considering he was on the dirty side of the track, but a touch withRaikkonen left him with some vibration from the front left wheel and his second stinthe had a bit of graining. Bourdais also drove a good race and also performed wellthrough the weekend. We have shown that our performance is improving from raceto race and so we are looking forward to Spa and Monza. I am convinced that bothof these races, especially Monza will suit our package. For Scuderia Toro Rossoand our Red Bull parent company this has been a really successful weekend.”
