Opening F1 weekend & Fabrice Muamba

It was a good grand prix for the neutral. There were lots of battles early on, even if they fizzled out a bit as the race went on, and a pretty dramatic last lap. At the front, it was a bit of a role-reversal from last year in many ways - McLaren were very quick in qualifying on Saturday, while they and my Red Bull Racing team were much more evenly matched in the race on Sunday. We had some problems on Saturday. My Kers power-boost system was not working in qualifying and my team-mate Sebastian Vettel made a couple of mistakes on his laps, but even then I don't think we'd have been able to match the McLaren times. We've got our ideas about what has caused that and we have to do better. McLaren have always been strong in Melbourne. If you look at last year, they could have won the race. I don't think we were very surprised on Sunday, though. Pace-wise everything turned out as we expected. It was a reasonably even affair. But we had very poor track position and needed to recover before we could have a crack at the McLarens. Jenson Button was untouchable in the lead, but Seb managed to get past Lewis Hamilton into second place, with the help of the safety car period. And although I got close to Lewis, overtaking is never very easy in Melbourne and I couldn't get past. Ultimately, we left the track pretty positive. The team were very upbeat. To get that many points on the board was a pretty good way to start the year, especially when we weren't at our strongest. You always want to do better, but in general we were pretty satisfied with how it turned out. We have an awesome chance to build on that. Everyone thinks just because the car's painted with Red Bull on the side, it's going to win everything, but it's not as simple as that. As we've always said, we have the utmost respect for our rivals. McLaren put together the most complete performance last weekend, but we all know nothing is forever.
