Ron Dennis Q&A

"I think we were substantially quicker than them in the race. There's obviously frustration with David's incident. At the end of the day we're here to win, and the Ferraris have got tremendous pace. In other circumstances, if we had a bit more performance in certain areas, we'd be in reasonable shape."



"I think anybody in their position, with a very good mid-tyre performance, and to exploit that two-stop strategy was obviously the way to go. The characteristics of our tyres made one stop a much more viable option. As you could pretty much see, anybody who was on a two-stop strategy was going to be history against a one-stopper if they were in front of them. Of course you've got to have good grid positions to exploit the two-stop strategy. It's risky, but to be honest I think the Williams were handling so badly it was reasonably understandable how the Ferraris got past."



"We had the whole thing pretty much in control. I think the frustration was that while David was frustrated in trying to find a way past, we could have done a better job on our own strategy, but that's life."



"He was OK. We were in good shape. After the second stop we just backed off. We could have gone quite a bit quicker, but the gap would still have been pretty big."



"The fact is that David was well past Montoya, but more importantly, if you look at the history of this weekend, if you are on that place, on the corner, you are going to get the corner. It wasn't as if there was nowhere for Montoya to go. He did turn, but obviously he lost the back end into David."



"I think at the moment we are capable of achieving podium places. But we're not really here to achieve that - we're here to win."
