"The enthusiasm for Mercedes-Benz and the support of the fans is very big in China so we have an attractive race ahead of us in Shanghai next weekend. I am confident that the fans will not leave the race disappointed. We looked quite reasonable in Malaysia at the last race and maybe things will play into our hands again in Shanghai. I am looking forward to the race and fully enjoying the competition again. Admittedly the last two races have not been very fortunate for me but I am very much aware of the reasons for it. I know how things go in F1 and if you look into the detail of the two races, I think everything is still going according to plan. You can only improve step-by-step and I am confident that we are achieving this."

“在中国，奔驰的热情以及车迷的支持非常巨大，因此下周我们即将迎来的将是一场备具吸引力的比赛。我相信车迷们绝对不会带着失望离开赛场。马来西亚站我们表现得非常稳定，来到上海也许我们会再一次地展现出竞争力。我非常期待这场比赛并且希望再次全力地去享受竞争，”
“过去的两站比赛对我而言不够幸运，但是我深入地研究了失利的原因，我知道F1里的事情会如何发展，如果你深入挖掘过去两场比赛的细节，我想一切都在按照计划进行着。你只有可能一步一步地进步，我深信我们正在这样做着，”
