Kimi, pole position, fastest lap and it looked like you were in control from minute one of the race. A perfect day at the races for you?
Kimi Raikkonen: Yes, but I didn't get the perfect start. But anyhow it was good enough to stay in front. If we had wanted we could have gone a bit faster but there is no point to push it when you don't need to. I think it was closer than we expected but saying that there were many safety cars, so without them maybe it would have been looking a little bit different. It was a good day – everything was brilliant. I am happy that Heikki (Kovalainen) seems to be okay after his accident. I cannot ask anything more as the guys did perfect work apart from the second pit stop when I had two cars in traffic, so it took a little bit too long to get out and I had to wait a bit for them to pass me. Apart from that it was okay.

It appears it was your great pole lap which allowed you to get the lead in the race.
KR: This circuit is very difficult to overtake. The start is the best place and when you have a lot of things going with the safety car you might be lucky or very unlucky, so the best place to try to win is always from the front. It was good yesterday and it really helped us today. We had good speed all weekend.

What were the track conditions like today?
KR: Not too bad. I had one incident in corner three when I was coming in for my first pit stop. There was massive understeer and then the front bites, so I always got sideways. Of course sometimes when you get those unexpected things and it happens in one lap it is more luck than anything else you do not get off. But apart from that the conditions were pretty good today.

Felipe. It was a great Ferrari one-two. And a good start from you to take second place into the first corner.
Felipe Massa: Yes, it was a good start. For sure as you mention before the qualifying was very important for this race. I had one lap less fuel than Kimi and I just couldn't put together my lap on the last try when it counts. I started third but I did a very good start and could manage to pass Fernando and that's it. I had a little moment with the safety car and I saw that he was going a little bit longer than me. That maybe was a little bit of a scare for us but then I managed to build the gap in the second stint in a very good way and it was not a problem to stop one lap before and get in front. We did our homework and brought two Ferrari's in the front – first and second - which is very important for the championship.

It's a wonderful position in which you find yourself. It appears you have a great spot for the car now and reliability. Ferrari are in a great place.
FM: We are in the first race of our engine and everything but looking at what we did in the test the car looks more in the right direction. But let's keep working and improving because we saw that our competitors were very close. If you look in qualifying they were very close and in the race as well, so we need to pay attention race by race and we need to keep working like crazy in the factory to improve the car in every area.

Lewis, I guess from your point of view with Ferraris on the front row to finish third in the Spanish Grand Prix is a great relief.
Lewis Hamilton: Absolutely, it is good to be back. Obviously when we qualified fifth we knew that it would be very difficult to beat the Ferraris. But the key was to get a good start and make as many places as possible and fortunately I was able to do that. We sort of had a feeling that Fernando would be a bit lighter and that didn't cause us any problems. Especially towards the middle stint and towards the end I had to try and keep up with Felipe as I knew he was a lap shorter than me, but they seem to look after their rear tyres a little bit better than us still. In the last stint I was able to keep quite close and pushing and pushing right to the last lap. It is amazing how close all the cars are. Even Robert Kubica was extremely close to me and I kept looking in the mirrors at a certain point and he was always in the exact same spot. It is very impressive that all the teams are so close. It is good for the team. Unfortunately it was not a great day for Heikki and I am glad he is okay but we will keep pushing.

Into the first corner with Robert really defined the race for you. It was a close battle going into turn one but you won that.
LH: I know from past experiences in F3 that Robert is one of the hardest to overtake. He is very aggressive on the first lap but I was able to get up the inside of him. I was pretty much passed him and I just had to make sure that I covered my ground. It was pretty smooth sailing from there. It was a good start from us. Again we have had two bad races, so to get back on the podium is fantastic.

What were you hearing on the radio and seeing on the big screen of Heikki's accident?
LH: I came past and saw there was a car in the wall. It just looked red, so I didn't know if it was one of us or one of the Ferraris. I did see a glimpse of the footage on the television and it looked very reminiscent of my incident last year at the Nürburgring. I was a bit terrified for whoever it was as I saw the impact was quite heavy. The team told me it was Heikki but they didn't know how he was immediately. But Ron Dennis came onto the radio half-way through and said he was okay but slightly concussed. I am sure he will bounce back
