It is exciting to behere in Baku and we are going to try and start from the front row. This trackis quite nice, with the exception of the straights, which are maybe a littletoo long… But they are part of the ‘soul’ of the track, so overall I like it, Ithink it is quite challenging. We know that we built a good car and that wehave a big potential to make it faster. That’s what we are working on. Ibelieve you always learn something from every race and I think last year Bakuwas very different from all the other races. I hope to be the man to beat, butit’s a long season. At the moment things looks good, but it doesn’t meananything. The last three races of the year will mean much more than the firstones…
来到巴库这里我们都很兴奋，我们也会尽力想办法争取头排发车的。这条赛道很美，除去直道部分不算的话，因为它实在是太长了点…但是它们也是这条赛道“灵魂”的一部分，所以总体来说我还是喜欢这里的，我认为这是一条富有挑战的赛道。我们知道自己造了一部好车，并且我们也有巨大的潜力可以使它跑得更快。这正是我们现在所致力于做的事情。我相信你总是能从每一场比赛中学到一些东西，而我想去年巴库的比赛同其他比赛相比是迥然不同的。我希望可以成为大家争相追逐的那个人，但是赛季还很长。目前来看情况还不错，但是这不意味着任何东西。赛季末的三场比赛会比赛季初的比赛更为关键…

I think that in thisplace it is quite tricky to find the rhythm and in the first session I didn’t.At the beginning of the second one I lacked pace and could not put the laptogether, but that can happen very easily here. I made some mistakes underbraking, but I think that the long run was a little better. I think we canimprove the car for tomorrow and it should be ok. It’s just the beginning afterall. We have to understand what the car needs and we have a little bit of timeto reset. Hopefully,it can be better tomorrow.
我认为在这里要找到好的节奏有些难度，而在第一次练习赛中我没能找到。在第二次练习赛的一开始我缺乏速度，没法做出干净的单圈，但是这种情况在这里是很常见的。我在刹车时犯了一些错误，但是我觉得长距离上情况稍好一些。我认为我们到明天还是可以改进赛车的，到时候应该还可以。说到底现在只是个开始而已。我么必须要理解赛车需要什么，而我们还是有一些时间让我们做出重新设置的。希望明天的情况能有所改善。

I am very happy forthis result, but I am a little bit upset with my final lap because I locked upin turn 3. I knew the car was good and in the first two corners I was alreadyone and a half tenth faster than the lap before. Then, maybe, I hit the bumpthe wrong way a little under braking and I locked up. In the end I made thecorner, so I wasn’t that late, but obviously after that, the grip wasn’t thesame. It’s a shame because I think I could have been faster, but I am happyanyway. I am sorry for Kimi because we could have both been on the front row.However, we’ll see tomorrow, It’s going to be a long race. I think it is veryimportant to be able to fight for the pole in order to have a good chanceduring the race. Even if the result has been good these last few Saturdays,there’s still a lot of work for us. We know that the car can be faster.Obviously we have worked hard to get to where we are now, but everybody in theteam knows there’s more to do. We have to stay focused and keep pushing.However, I am not afraid for tomorrow and I believe we have good chances.
我对今天的结果感到满意，但是我在做最后一个冲刺圈时有忐忑不安，因为我在三号弯锁死了。我知道赛车很棒，并且在前两个弯过后我已经比之前那圈冲刺快了0.15秒。接着，或许是我在刹车时有点以错误的方式碰到了路肩，我锁死了。虽说我还是顺利过弯了，不至于损失太多，但是显然在那之后轮胎的抓地力就不如前了。这有点可惜，因为我知道我原本可以跑得更快的，但是不管怎样我对结果还是感到开心的。我为Kimi感到可惜，因为原本我们两个可以都从第一排发车的。不过我们明天再看吧，比赛还长着呢。我认为可以去拼杆位是很重要的，因为这可以使你在比赛中有比较好的机会。即便过去的几个周六排位赛结果都不错，我们面前还是有很多工作等着我们。我们知道我们的赛车还能更快。显然我们是通过了很多的努力才达到现在我们的位置，但是车队中的每一个人都知道还有更多需要做的。我们必须集中注意力并且不断前进。不过我对明天并不会感到担心，我也相信我们会有很好的机会。

We are not entirely happy, becausewe could have won. In fact, I am very upset about losing the position at therestart, because I didn’t want that to happen, but there are also so manypositive aspects to take from this race. When the safety car pulled away, I sawa gap and I went for it, but obviously it didn’t work. So, now it’s easy foreveryone to say that it was too big a risk, but I was driving at 330 kph on thestraight, there was no reference on the left and I didn’t really have manyoptions. Lewis was on the right, while Valtteri was ahead, but I couldn’treally go to the right. I also wanted to go for the inside, but once I lockedup, it was tough luck. After that, with the flat spot, it was a shame that Ihad to give the position to Sergio. Apart from that, I think it was a very goodrace; we had a good pace and were in control. Anyway, this is how it goessometimes. I had a chance to win and I tried. It just didn’t work. It was aquick decision, so there was a chance it wouldn’t be right. Now I think we needto look ahead because we had a strong car today. We’ll see what the other raceswill bring, but we need to stay hungry and keep working.
我们并不完全感到高兴，因为原本我们是有机会赢的。实际上我对于安全车重启后我丢掉了位置感到很烦躁，因为我不想那样的事发生，但是我们从这场比赛中仍然可以找到很多积极的方面。当安全车撤离后，我看到了空间，于是我就做了尝试，但是显然没能成功。所以，现在对所有人来说可以轻易下结论这个举动太过于冒险了，但我当时是以330kph的速度在直道上飞驰，左边没有任何参照，我也没有多少选择的余地。刘易斯在右边，而维塔利在前面，但我无法就这么往右边走。我也想走内线，但一旦我锁死了就真的很麻烦了。在那之后，由于平斑的原因，很可惜我不得不把位置丢给了賽吉奥。除了这个状况之外，我觉得这是一场很棒的比赛；我们的正赛速度很不错，也都一切尽在掌握。无论如何，这样的事有时候就是会发生的。我有机会获胜我也尝试了。只不过没有成功而已。这是一个极快做出的决定，所以有时候没法保证对或错。现在我想我们需要往前看，因为我们今天有一部很强大的赛车。我们之后再看看其他比赛会带来什么，但是我们必须始终保持饥渴并且继续努力工作。

Please lose your temper again if you find it is not very fair for the hard work. Get bored on the happy ending and nobody is bad. The thing should not turn out like this novel. Because a lot of wishes are planted last year. But today it may fade away just a goodbye to the tales. Anybody stand on this track is an angel which can break all the dreams about become a super star. No one is able to ignore the impact on the fans' heart so try your best to let this plan play till the next round or longer future. So gentle style！
