F1 : 2010 Japan - Suzuka Sunday FIA Formula 1 race press conference
Part 2: Questions from the floor

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Frederic Ferret – L’Equipe) Mark, you’re still in the lead of the championship but who is your main rival, do you feel?

MW: Oh look, two weeks ago it was Lewis (Hamilton), then it was Fernando. It’s chopping and changing, but the most important thing is that the gap is going the right way. I need to keep it like that. We’ve got three races to go and it’s a good result for me. Seb deserved the victory today, did a good job, but as we’ve seen this year, five of us are capable of winning races, well, four in the dry, Jenson’s had a few races in the wet conditions but in the dry conditions it’s been four of us who can win. I need to win again in the future. I’m very confident I can do that, and that would be beneficial, of course, but also reliability can still yet play a role, many things, circumstances, lots of different things. There are 75 points to go. Obviously these guys have a bit less because they’re a few behind, but in the end, confident.

Q: (Miran Alisic – Korpmedia) Mark, when Sebastian pitted, you had an extra, very quick lap. Was it ever considered staying out for one or two more laps, so that you might attack him?

MW: No. I think the undercut was fine here. To put the fresh tyres on, even though the option tyre was not too bad… if you stay out too much longer I think you can be exposed and lose time. Ultimately it’s better to pit pretty soon, to be there and then stay as close as you can to your rivals because the prime tyre was better when it’s fresher.
