Fernando:
(sobre su comentario en Imola sobre ser el piloto con más mala suerte del mundo)
“I don't believe in all those things,”
“So it's what we deserve, probably. We've been unlucky many moments, I think this year we've been uncompetitive – which is the unluckiest part of everything.
“When you are more competitive, any strategy works, any safety car is a small problem, but it's not the end of the day – but when you are not competitive, anything that is not in your way it takes you out of the points.
“But in seven races that we had the possibility to score points, many things happened. We went off in the gravel – my mistake – in Australia; then in China, with three disqualified cars, we could score points, but we had fire on the brakes already in lap two, and we had to retire the car; and we've been uncompetitive for many races.”
“These kinds of things are always frustrating in the car, but as I said, this is a very private conversation with my engineer and my team; we do the debriefs, we say how uncompetitive we are, we say how competitive we certainly are in Imola, and we could score points, we spend the whole Sunday on the strategy, looking for these first points,”
“You send a message specifically to them, and a very private conversation. When you don't know the context of everything, and you just put the radio, it makes no sense, but this is the normal rule for Formula 1.
“But I don't consider myself unlucky. I mean, two times world champion, two times Le Mans winner, WEC champion, 24-hour Daytona champion – so if I'm unlucky, I cannot imagine the other 18 drivers here.”
Resumen rápido:
- No cree en esas cosas.
- Han tenido mala suerte y además no son competitivos para nada este año.
- Cuando eres competitivo, cualquier estrategia funciona, pero si no lo eres, cualquier pijada te deja fuera de los puntos.
- En todas las carreras este año cuando han podido pillar puntos o la ha cagado, o prenden fuego los frenos, o tienen que retirar el coche.
- Todo eso es frustrante, en el coche. Pero es una conversación privada con su ingeniero. Pero así es la F1.
- No se considera desafortunado ya que ha ganado lo que ha ganado así que si él es poco afortunado, no se puede imaginar lo que son el resto de 18 pilotos que hay.
