"I'm really looking forward to racing in Valencia. I had a great, attacking race there last year - but I've finished second for the past two seasons, so I feel like I have some unfinished business!
"I also think it's good for the championship to have a variety of circuits - we've just come from a fast, flowing road course in Canada, to a tight street track in Valencia. And, next month, we'll be at Silverstone - one of the fastest tracks of the year, and a circuit with incredible history. As a driver, that sort of variety makes the racing exciting and unpredictable, which is all you can really ask for."
"The last few grands prix have had some fantastic racing - it would be great for all the Spanish fans if we can have a great race here too. It's not a circuit where we've seen too much passing in the past, but I think this year could be different - the grid is so tight, there were battles all through the field in Montreal last week, so I think we could have a close and exciting race this year."

"After two consecutive one-twos, it certainly felt like Bruce McLaren himself was looking down on us and smiling, particularly after we recently commemorated the 40th anniversary of his death.
"I'm sure Bruce would also have appreciated the relentless and dedicated approach we have taken to the engineering and development of MP4-25 - I think we've shown in the past two races that we lack nothing in terms of hunger and motivation. And with our car being constantly developed, I believe we can continue to be a threat at the majority of remaining races on the calendar.
"Of course, we're no strangers to relentless development - it's one of the team's greatest strengths - and we're absolutely committed to maximising every last component in the search for performance. Nothing is too small to be overlooked, and it's that holistic approach that really brings rewards, allowing us to eke out performance in every single area of the car.
"It's also an approach we're increasingly focusing on with the team, too: we're looking at pitstops, engineering, strategy - and we're seeing practical and material benefits in those areas, too."
