“I made a great start and had a good pace but afterwards I had a problem with the brakes which made the battle more difficult. It was a fantastic battle with Jenson and we were passing each other correctly. A good, fun, exciting battle. Unfortunately, it seems he got his braking point wrong and hit me. This can easily happen when he is fighting for position. Certainly our race pace is good, if we qualify a little further in Bahrain we can certainly do better. “
