“I noticed at turn 3 that something was wrong with my front right tyre, then at turn 6 there was a bit of smoke and some damage so I thought the best decision was to stop to avoid doing any serious damage to the entire car.” the German told the BBC.

“I didn't think of anything bad. I felt a little sorry for one of my boys who I think will feel responsible but in any case it's all part of the game."

“We look strong. We told you that our car wasn't very suitable for Australia and it still wasn't suitable enough in Malaysia, it was still somewhere in between. It seems we have found the right path."
