Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher
(Team Germany)
“In
the first heat of the final
I just stalled the car and that was it! Then I was waiting for Heikki
to come back round so at least we could have some fun. I knew I could
rely on
Sebastian! Actually it turned out really good; the two young ones could
fight whilst the two retired drivers could relax!
“There weren’t any balls
or any goals so it was a little bit easy for us to win at Wembley today.”
Scuderia Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel (Team
Germany)
“I
didn’t expect that. I had a strong team-mate in
the beginning when I needed help. After that it was quite good. We had
the draw against England, which was spectacular. The crowd was alive! I
raced
against Marcus in his own car; so almost like in his living room! I was
already putting together all my excuses; I didn’t expect to win at
all!
“I asked David Coulthard what to do in preparation for this.
He said you are not allowed to come to the event not drunk… fortunately I didn’t’ follow his advice.”
McLaren F1’s Heikki Kovalainen (Team Finland)
“Michael had a problem at the start so
I thought let’s have some fun for the crowds. I don’t think he expected me to overtake him. It was just a bit of
fun!
“I
think he could have easily
blocked me. After I got past him, I was just holding my handbrake and
keeping full throttle to give the crowd something for their cameras.
“I had no more to give today
with that car. I didn’t make a mistake until the second to last corner. Sebastian drove really well, that’s all I can say! I’m
now against him in the first heat for the main race, that’s going to be a difficult one.”
Double World Rally Champion, Marcus Grönholm (Team
Finland)
“I
was a little bit too confident
against Sebastian. On the start line I thought it would be easy for me
but no. He didn’t make any mistakes and he was very fast so that was a
mistake from me.”
