PIECES TO THE GAME

Ferrari has gone fast in Turkey the last three times. This year Brawn GP has won five out of six races and they are favorites. But we will catch them. We just have to squeeze 100 % once again and then we're closer - or pass them.

Getting into the top three in Monaco was a fair enough result. The team really works hard and their motivation only grew now that we got both cars into TOP-4.

In Monaco we made the biggest progress when it comes to the results. It was what we needed from there. You just have to be patient. Me and my fans surely want just as much that Ferrari would start winning again.

We have come close already. We get new pieces into the car again. This is just like building a puzzle. We have the frame ready. Now we only have to get the middle pieces in place. When they hit, it's a'vot. (A vot is an expression from Russia like 'tadaa')

Monaco is so different compared to other tracks. Turkey is a totally new game. From there we will get a better picture of where we go and how our competitors have done their jobs.

Turkey is a cool track. We drive counter-clockwise and if everything isn't in place there the neck will be screaming Hosianna. I dig the place. The curves are all different and we take some brakings completely blindfolded. It's always cool to take that track.

In Monaco we were in the front row. In Turkey a good starting position demands that the downforce is at least the same as Brawn and Red Bull has. Aerodynamics are important for everyone but when the times are so close every detail in quali is crucial.

From summer begins the middlepart of the season. I'm much more hopeful now when we have got so much positive progress made. This team knows it's thing. The development pieces have come really quickly and you can feel all the time that the car is better. And we aren't stopping here.

Puttonen (Button - lol) is leading and he has everything bagged when you think of the championship. When you win 5 races out of 6 you are in a strong position. But it doesn't do you any damage if you try right until the end. When the chequered flag is out for the last time, that's when you count all the final points.

I had fun on Saturday. We took the rally in Italy, my first on tarmac. It's always fun to drive and it was fun to spend some time with the fans too. Of course the race could have lasted longer. Now it ended in the middle but it happens sometimes.
