More Team Orders Hypocrisy

[cavallino 2]

Could you have got Kimi ahead?

What's disappointing is that our one-stop strategy would have got Kimi up to second position, and if that unfolded, he would have won the race. We would have run as a team. Clearly the tyre put paid to what was a great strategy and a great race from Kimi. We had to conserve a bit of fuel in the beginning and not push too hard, but the tyre delamination really put us out of contention.

So what would have happened with Juan Pablo Montoya?

At the end of the day we're a team. We'd already decided how we would race as a team. Kimi had to get up to second, and a one-stop strategy with him was exactly what was required. Second is where we would have been able to get to. We know it would have been marginal overtaking Alonso, but in that situation as a team, he would have come first. These things are not team orders, this is a situation where our drivers choose how they race. Right now we're racing as a team and that's how we're going to continue to race through the rest of the season. We can obviously win more races, but it's still our intention to do everything to help Kimi win the championship, and that's also a commitment from Juan Pablo. It's what being a racing team is about. And that's where we are. There are times when that sort of action is what you need, and that's when you know the values of the people driving your cars.
