Kimi, a fantastic win in difficult conditions. Lewis had the advantage early on but when it started raining at around lap 27 you came into your own?
Kimi Raikkonen: Yeah, at the start of the race I had some problems with the front tyres graining and it was understeering way too much. I just kept pushing as much as I could. We expected to run quite a bit longer than Lewis and so it worked out well. After the pit stop I saw that he could not pull away anymore and I was catching him little by little, and with a little rain my car was pretty good. One time I went to pass him but there were too many yellow flags and I backed off, but in the end I could pass him and quite easily pull away. I waited for the right moment to change onto dry tyres and everything worked well and there was no problem.

A great second phase of the race for you on the Bridgestone softer tyre. It looked like the white band had disappeared towards the end of the race. What were the conditions like for you as the track dried out?
KR: It was okay. I had basically a similar balance as on wet tyres at the start, too much understeer and I again just waited to get rid of the graining on the front and once the front came back I was able to keep the gap and push hard and open it up a little bit. I just waited long enough and was thinking that the front might not come back, but once it did the car was good. It was a bit tricky to get past people on only one dry line but everything worked well and the team did a good job. I'm very happy.

You were about 8s ahead of Fernando, so was he still a pressure there for you?
KR: For sure, he was pushing hard and catching me at first when I had some problems with the front tyres, but once everything started to work I could keep the gap the same and knew we should be fine. I kept pushing because, you never know, if it rains again it can change the whole picture and I was happy to have some breathing space. Like I said, it all ended well, we are back in the championship and it will be interesting in the last race.

Fernando, you were not a happy man after qualifying but a very good race and a good team performance as well and a very interesting first lap with Felipe?
Fernando Alonso: I think it was good today, the result, and at the end these eight points are a help for sure. The first lap was interesting with Felipe in Turn One, Turn Two and Turn Four, and basically every corner. I didn't manage to finish the lap in front of him and this cost me a bit of time in the first part of the race because I was behind him and not very comfortable because I had a bit too much downforce in Turns Seven and Eight. At the end I think he did a pit stop and that helped me a little bit.

You rejoined just in front of Felipe and there was pressure there but you managed to pull away from him?
FA: It was extremely difficult at the first corner because you put the dry tyres on, go out of the pits and it's completely wet. You arrive at Turn One not knowing how the situation is there with dry tyres. I was able to keep the inside line very carefully and was lucky that it was the only dry line and Felipe couldn't pass me on the outside because it was wet. It worked out well -- I was on the limit but in front of him.

It was a difficult qualifying session for you. What are your thoughts as you go into Brazil, your championship hopes very much alive?
FA: Yes. I think it will be very difficult to win the championship because I know that it will not be easy to take four points off Lewis. The performance, I hope, will be very similar between the two of us, all through the weekend, not only in Q1 and Q2, so hopefully I can do a good race, but for the championship I still need something dramatic if I want to win. With a normal race it will be impossible.

Felipe, you set fastest lap right at the end there but you are P3. A difficult race, in difficult conditions obviously?
Felipe Massa: Yes, definitely. And very interesting as well. I'm sure in a way we weren't very lucky to put the dry tyres on and then have it start to rain again. I was also telling the team that I was not going to stay on the track like that because it was very easy to lose the car. But then the rain stopped and I picked up the pace slowly but it was enough to be in front of Fernando after he pitted. I also had a lot of graining on my tyres maybe because we went out on the soft in very cold conditions and they lost temperature. But then at the end of the race it had a good balance again, but it was too late. But in conditions like that it is good to finish in the top three, even if we wanted to win.

Kimi, a three way championship fight going to Brazil, the first time that has happened since 1986. All three of you have fresh engines; it's a winner takes all situation, virtually?
KR: Not really, it depends on what happens to the others who will win. But for sure it will be interesting. I've no idea how the car will be. If we look at last year, Felipe won and Ferrari was strong, so hopefully the car will be good and it will be an interesting battle the whole weekend. It's not up to us only what happens but anything can happen as we saw today. We are in a better position than coming here, but it will still be very difficult.

Press Conference

Kimi, a great win, you can now make your mind work at how you can turn this championship around?
KR: For sure we needed that. I always said we needed to win and I can't control what happens to the others. Today we scored more points than Hamilton and got back in the championship and the last race will be interesting. Things can go right or wrong for people, so we will push at the last race and see what we can do.
