The first objective is to try and avoid. The most important is not to lose the Tour (in the first week).

Federer played a great claycourt season, which gives him the belief he can win Wimbledon again.

The main goal this weekend was to win the championship, i think car seven was quicker than us for 24 hours, they really deserved the victory but today the luck decided that we have to take the trophy.

I think I’ve got to a point now where I feel very confident with the team and the car, the season is going very positively up until now.

I have total confidence that all my rivals are totally clean, i have no doubt about that, first of all because I believe in the anti-doping program and secondly because I believe in people until they show you otherwise.

When you are third in FP2( second practice), and it’s not because of changeable conditions or anything, then you have to think about getting into Q3( the final phase of qualifying). That has to be the aim.

I think we can have a prototype ready in September (2016), so we will do testing...in October, November and December and then start producing in January and you can have 10 or 20 cars by end of March and do the first race in April (2017), this car is more or less going to be like a skateboard. So you have a flat battery in the floor, four motors – one on each wheel – and that’s it.

If we improve two and a half seconds, we will win next year, it's realistic, but the thing is we need to work very hard with very high discipline all winter, all united, because in this new Formula One everything is a package, it's not anymore an engine, aerodynamic, mechanical side.

The data shows that the improvement on the engine is as expected, so this is very good news, i'm happy with the direction we are taking. More important than this step is the philosophy for next year's engine that this step or spec has introduced. This is a good direction to go.

They’re experienced and strong, and I hope they have the capacity to recover well from the Giro, i trust them, I hope that the level of the team will be better than in the Giro.

It was a hard day for me but I'm happy because I got through it, after three and a half or four hours I didn't know what to do with my arm but I hope and trust that, as the days pass, it will improve. Now I'm just thinking of resting and putting ice on my shoulder.
