*PRESS CONFERENCE*
*Q: We'll start without most recent race winner, the youngest ever
Formula One race winner at 18, and Holland's first grand prix winner.
What's the reaction been like and are we now going to see an army of
Dutch fans coming to grands prix? *
*Max Verstappen: *Yeah, it was pretty crazy in Holland. Yeah, so the
first Dutch winner I think it's always very special, so I can call
myself now the youngest and the oldest something I'm the oldest in!
Luckily, I didn't go out too much in Holland on the streets, just
enjoying my time a bit with family and friend but of course hopefully
we'll see more fans, that's for sure.
*Q: Renault has a new engine update, which their senior engineer has
said should be worth somewhere up to half a second a lap. How did you
find it in testing last week and what's the plan for using that engine
this weekend and in the coming grands prix? *
*MV: *I think it was a very positive step. I felt very comfortable with
it. It was very positive that we gained so much, because it's not so
easy to find that out of a car. I'm looking forward to using it in Canada.
*Q: So it's Daniel here and you get it for the first time in Canada? *
*MV: *Yeah.
*Q: Thank you. Nico, world championship leader, coming to you, you've
owned this race track for the last three years. Does winning here mean
more to you than any other venue?*
*Nico Rosberg: *Yeah it does, because it's my home race. I sleep in my
apartment, get out the front door I've lived here all my life, so it's
a very special place. Also, if there's one race to win then it's Monaco
and the combination of all that makes it the most special race.
*Q: Obviously in Spain was the first time in your three-year title
battle sequence with your team-mate Lewis Hamilton that you've taken
each other out and both scored no points. Are you in a position now
though, personally, with more experience of these tense situations to
just put it behind you and focus on winning this weekend? *
*NR: *I don't know about experience playing into this, but for sure yeah
it's now a thing of the past, not thinking about it anymore. We've been
through it and now looking forward. Just concentrating on Monaco and I
want to try to win here and that's that.
*Q: Romain, coming to you: first race of a double header, if you like,
of French-speaking race venues. How excited, though, is the American
Haas team about racing in the Monaco Grand Prix? *
*Romain Grosjean: *Pretty much excited. It's one of the races we wanted
to do during the year. Of course having the first one well, coming here
for the first time is always a challenge, but on the other hand, it's as
well my home race almost friends so it's great to be here. There's a
lot of support. Doing the track walk this morning was funny, we had cars
stopping on the street asking for autographs and it made a mess. But
yeah we had good fun and we're looking forward to driving here.
*Q: Well, you had three points scoring results from the first five
races, but I understand you've got a new chassis after some handling
issues. Could you tell us a little bit about that and how you're feeling
about the overall development of your car? *
*RG: *Yeah, to be honest we did a great job even though the results
haven't followed. We changed the chassis after the race in Barcelona
because we have a big doubt about it and things felt better in the
testing, so hopefully we can go back to a good car here and get the best
of all the package.
*Q: Thanks you for that. Jolyon, a two-time race winner here in GP2 in
Monaco. You've been finding some consistency in the last couple of races
but you've not appeared to be all that happy so far. Is that accurate
and if so why? *
*Jolyon Palmer: *I'm pretty happy. I'm enjoying racing in Formula One.
I'm happy to be back here as well, at a track that I love. I think I've
just missed a little bit in qualifying in the last couple, but it's been
hundredths and a couple of tenths in Barcelona, but we had a lot of
problems on Friday. Yeah, we had a very bad race in China and I didn't
race in Bahrain, but since then I think we are finding some consistency
and it's all coming together better.
*Q: Obviously you've got updates on the engine as we were discussing
with max a moment ago, but also updates on the chassis as well, based on
last week's test. It seemed to give you a few tenths; do you feel a move
a little bit up the grid is imminent? *
*JP: *I think so. I think this track will suit us better already. I
think the chassis is not too bad. We're down on power but obviously
Kevin has got the engine upgrade for this weekend, which will help
already. The team are working really hard back in the factory to find a
few tenths on the car and if we do that and a few tenths on engine then
I think we'll certainly moving up closer to the midfield and looking for
points more regularly.
*Q: Pascal, coming to you, only driver to do two days of testing last
week in Spain, you drove the Mercedes as well as the Manor. Did you pick
up anything from that experience that might help you and Manor to
progress? *
*Pascal Wehrlein: *Of course I could see the differences between the
cars. I mean, the day before I just drove the Manor and then the next
day the Mercedes. But also last year I drove the Mercedes, so I know the
differences between the cars, so that was nothing new for me.
*Q: You're in a battle with the Sauber team, which will have big
financial consequences for the team that comes out ahead at the end of
the season. How does that battle feel from the inside? *
*PW:* It's cool. We are at the back at the moment and there is still a
small gap to Sauber, but on some race tracks we manage to be quite close
to them or even in front of them. That's the target for this year, just
to improve the care, to improve ourselves and manage to finish in front
of them.
*Q: Coming to you Sebastian, of course a former Monaco Grand Prix
winner, but it's hard to believe that Ferrari hasn't won Monaco since
2001, 15 year ago. Do you feel a strong desire within the team to put
that right? *
*Sebastian Vettel: *Well, I think you could probably apply the
statistics to many places. I think we all know that we want to bring
Ferrari back to the top. Obviously the challenge is very difficult but
the target is there, so then hopefully very, very soon you start having
all these bad-sounding statistics and we rock up with a win from the
year before.
*Q: You were third in Spain but clearly Red Bull had the pace to match
Ferrari in Barcelona, and they have a power unit upgrade as we've been
hearing. So is Ferrari now in danger of being involved in a battle with
Red Bull for second in the Constructors' rather than the stated aim of
challenging Mercedes for the title?*
*SV: *I think our aim is still looking forward and in that regard our
aim is Mercedes. I think in Barcelona we had a bad Saturday, which
explained the difficult race on Sunday, I terms of raw speed we should
have been ahead but we weren't. I said on the day well done to them and
in particular to Max, but we move on. I think we have a strong package.
We do have new bits here and there, so I think we obviously as I said
want to make progress and want to make sure we close the gap to Mercedes
rather than looking at what's going on behind.

*QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR*
*Q: (Heikki Kulta Turun Sanomat) Nico, how much would it mean to you
to win here fourth time in a row, because only Senna has done it and
especially after what happened in Barcelona? *
*NR:* I'm aware of the statistics of course, but it's not something I'm
concentrating on or even thinking about, because, as I've said even in
the past couple of races, what I want to do this weekend is try and win
this race, just because it's Monaco and I love winning here and that's
it. That's only what I'm thinking about. That's it.
*Q: (Peter Farkas Auto Moto) Nico, has it become absolutely clear what
happened with you at the start in Barcelona, so you simply made a
mistake by no putting the switch in the right place, and could you tell
us how easy it is to make a mistake in that mental state in which you
all are at the start, which is obviously a very nervous moment, and how
do you prepare yourself both mentally and technically before a racing
start, during the formation lap?*
*NR: *What was the first part?
*Q: (Peter Farkas Auto Moto) Has it become clear that you made a
mistake by not putting the switch into the Strat 3' setting, why were
you not in the right engine mode? *
*NR:* Because it was in the wrong position. It's my job to put it in the
right position and that's it. Pretty simple. Not much more to say with
that. In terms of formation lap and start, it's the same as always. Of
course you need to think about what you're doing. There's a lot going on
and that's it. You need to come up with ways of making sure that
everything is done properly. That's it.
*Q: (Ralf Bach Auto Bild) Nico, if you were the team principal of
Mercedes, what would you tell both your drivers after the incident in
Barcelona and before the Monaco race? *
*NR: *When am I going to answer that? I'm not the team principal. That's
not my job to even think about that. I have enough to think about myself
to try to win this race, with all respect. I don't know what I should
answer to that. What is your opinion?
*MV: *I would say keep going.
*NR:* I'm sure you would! What would you say Ralf?
(inaudible)
*Q: (Jerome Pugmire AP) Question for Max. From the outside you don't
seem to be feeling any pressure. You seem to take everything in your
stride. Does the pressure get to you at all especially now the
spotlight's on you because you're the youngest winner of a race?*
*MV: *I think every driver has pressure but I turn it into positive
pressure. As long as you're enjoying it and you feel happy then, yeah, I
think it's the most important to have success. At the end I always try
to do my best. I think that takes a lot of pressure away as well.
*Q: (Jonathan McEvoy Daily Mail) To Nico. Have you a) spoken to Lewis
since the race to discuss the events of Spain and b) when you get out to
race this week will there be, from you, an obligation to race absolutely
full out, not giving Lewis an inch and if you need to shut the door on
Lewis again, that you would do that?*
*NR: *So, if we've spoken or not, as always that needs to be kept
internally. What I can say is that, between the two of us, it's a thing
of the past now, we're moving on with everything and the relationship is
the same as before. Now, going out on track, I'm not going to be
thinking about Barcelona. I'll take the same approach as always flat
out and do what's necessary to try to win this grand prix, which is what
I've come here to do.
*Q: (Leigh Diffey - NBC Sports) Sebastian, you rocked the motorsports
world as a 21 year-old, could you share with us your thoughts on Max's
achievements as an 18 year-old.*
*SV: *I was in Formula Three so I can't possibly share but, yeah, in
both cases probably the circumstances were very new. It wasn't an
expected win, probably little bit less for me at the time still I
think you're first grand prix win is something you're over the moon.
Something very difficult to grasp. I'm sure he felt now how it was and
he wants to do it again. That's how I felt back then. It's up to all the
rest of us to ensure it doesn't happen too often.
*Q: (Livio Oricchio globoesporte.com) To Max. Max, you did a great
performance in the last race, no question, but most impressive was the
way you controlled the pressure from Kimi and all the pressure from the
crowd, from the media also. Did you make a special preparation for that
or is it something natural? It's inside you?*
*MV:* To be honest I didn't expect that so I didn't do any special
preparation I just put my helmet on, jumped in the car and suddenly I
was leading the race. From there on you just try to do the best thing
you can from the experiences you had before. The car was performing good
as well, otherwise you can't do those things. We had good traction out
of the last chicane and I knew that was a strong point, so I was always
trying to get a good exit and that gave me the race win.
*Q: (Flavio Vanetti Corriere della Sera) To Sebastian, is this the
toughest place where to show the improvements of Ferrari?*
*SV: *I think it's one of the places where it's difficult to read the
strength of the car or weakness of the car. I think it's a place where a
driver can make more of a difference, a place where you need to have the
confidence, as a driver in order to be able to make the difference, so
of course it's important which car you have, how confident you are but
it's probably more important here, the level of confidence, just going
around, the trust in the circuit, because that allows you, compared to
other tracks, let's say, more normal race tracks, to extract a little
bit more. So, I think the car is not as important maybe, as it is in
Barcelona for example or a normal race track.
*Q: (Daniel Johnson The Telegraph) Question for Seb. If I can take you
back to 2010. You've been in a position yourself where you and your
team-mate have collided on track and it's had difficult consequences.
Can you give us a bit of an insight into what that was like in the
immediate aftermath and any words of advice to Nico on how to deal with
it going forwards?*
*SV:* I think everybody needs to decide himself what he wants to do or
not. I had a word with Mark back then, I always found that, yeah, if you
collide none of the two is doing it on purpose because especially when
your race stops. Yeah, I think it's for everyone to handle and to decide
how to handle. We had a very close fight until the end, we were talking
about team orders during that year. Mostly for Mark because he was in a
better place looking at the Championship. I was obviously not so keen to
move over because I said I still have a chance to win and then as it
turned out obviously it was important but all these things you never
know in advance. I think it was also a different situation going into
the last race with four drivers still being able to win the
championship. Now it's race [five]. They're old and mature enough, Nico
and Lewis. Whether they talked about it or not I don't know, I don't
really care but it's for them to manage.
*Q: (Byron Young Daily Mirror) Nico, what's the big secret about
whether you and Lewis have even talked? I could understand data being
secret or car settings or engine changes but the fact you guys have
talked, that's open information isn't it?*
*NR:* Because of course I'll try to give you as much information as I
can because you're writing for all of our supporters out there to have a
good time and read some cool stuff but there comes a point where at
the same time we're trying to keep a good spirit in the team and win
lots of races. There's a balance and some things are just better not to
share.
I didn't say it's no comment. I just said it's better to keep it
internal, that part, and then I tried to elaborate on everything else.
*Q: (Luigi Perna La Gazzetta dello Sport) Question for Seb. Comparing
this Ferrari to last year's one, have you got the same level of
confidence in the car? I mean the car speaks to you the same way as last
year's one?*
*SV: *Yeah, I think we've made a step forwards. It's what we said from
day one. It feels simply more grip, we have increase the downforce,
we've worked a lot of the kinematics of the car. I think we've done a
very big step forwards. It is a lot better than last year but equally
you need to accept the challenge, that other people have improved their
cars as well. I'm sure if we would race with this year's car last year
we could win the Championship by a country mile but it's not the case.
Equally, everybody else in the pitlane is probably telling you probably
the same story. You need to be there when it matters. At the moment
we're still a little bit behind. But, as I said, our target and all of
focus, here at the track and back in Maranello, everyone is to make sure
we improve our car and we close the gap. That's it really. Does it suit
my driving style? I think so, yes. Does it suit us? I think yes. Are we
quick enough yet? Not yet.
*Q: (Jonathan McEvoy Daily Mail) I actually had my hand up to ask
before Byron made his remarks and I was going to ask something very
similar. Maybe I can go about it another way. Given that it's a media
event and I understand you normally answer everything very fully but
I don't understand the reluctance to answer that. If we're going to ask
you things, that you could give us the answer when we're not delving, I
don't think, into stuff that normally would be off limits. So I was
wondering if you're under instruction or whether you've had orders from
above not to discuss that? That you've been briefed, in other words, not
to do that?*
*NR: *As you know, I always try to answer your questions and yes, of
course, we've spoken together, as a team also. How to we approach these
happenings and everything. But actually now, with respect to this exact
answer now, no there's been no discussions at all. I just feel like not
discussing that, and that's it. It's pretty simple.
*Q: (Ralf Bach Sport Bild Motorsport) Pascal, last Tuesday evening,
what did the Mercedes team tell you why you should test the car on
Wednesday, what were the reasons? *
*PW:* Because they couldn't finish their test programme on Tuesday.
*Q: (Louis Dekker NOS) Max, two wins a row, how realistic is that and
can you even be happy finishing sixth on Sunday? *
*MV: *I will see. I'm going about it the same way as I did in Barcelona
and we'll see where that ends up. I think at the moment Mercedes still
look very strong but we'll try to find a really good set-up in the car
and try to get very comfortable on this track because in the end that's
very important to go fast and we'll see where it ends up.
*Q: (Livio Oricchio GloboEsporte.com) To all of you, for the first
time we have the ultra-soft tyre for this race. What scenario do you
predict for the weekend? *
*RG:* It looks nice! I like the colour. I tried them in Barcelona on a
test day after the Spanish Grand Prix. They looked alright and I think
it's going to be interesting this year how they perform here. We know
Pirelli has been going for harder compounds from the previous years when
they came in so we will probably be closer to something we knew back in
the past but here again, Monaco is a special track and we really have to
see how they behave here and then I guess Canada is going to be a
different story again.
*JP: *We've never run them so it's going to be the first chance for us
but I think the supersoft was lasting well here, it's very easy on the
tyres so I expect a good step in grip, more degradation, the usual thing
from a softer tyre. Something new for us.
*PW:* I'm looking forward to driving the ultrasoft here. We drove it in
Barcelona in winter testing and I had a lot of degradation so it should
be better here and of course, more grip, so I'm looking forward to it.
*SV: *Well we found out about the tyre in general. I think it's a bit
like asking a rabbit how his first date went, if it went well? Probably
he will tell you it was great but didn't last very long. I think that's
a little bit how the tyre felt in Barcelona which is always great if you
have more grip but we will see how long it lasts.
*NR: *Just excited to have extra grip in qualifying. That's it.
*MV:* Yes, I think it's good to go a bit more aggressive on the tyre
choice, especially here for Monaco. I think last year the soft was just
too hard so yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Bit more grip, I don't
think it will be as big between the soft and the supersoft but at least
you gain a bit more grip. We will see in the race.
*Q: (Byron Young Daily Mirror ) Nico, what did you and Lewis talk
about? No, I know you can't go there. Could you tell me the
psychological value of a victory here in Monte Carlo because both you
and Lewis like this race and you're ahead in wins at the moment? *
*NR:* It's a great race to win. That's it. It always gives a positive
boost to win this race, for sure, but like any other race but this is
just a little bit extra. I love racing here and I would love to win on
Sunday.
*Q: (Daniel Johnson The Telegraph) Jolyon, you had your own teammate
coming together in Barcelona. We didn't really see much of it on the
television. Can you talk us through what happened from your point of
view and just secondly, are you fairly annoyed not to have been given
the new engine here, because that's going to hamper you quite a bit? *
*JP:* Firstly, the incident was just turn 13 in Barcelona before the
chicane and Kevin was coming on fresh soft tyres and he came from a
little bit back and lobbed up the inside. It was quite an aggressive
move so I ended up being forced off the track, cut the corner and kept
the place but we're fine. He apologised straight afterwards and it's
fine. We went to the stewards but already there was no real need to do
anything about it.
And the engine? I would rather have the new engine of course but I
didn't test last week and I'm behind in the championship, so I think
it's normal that Kevin would get it for this one. I'll get it for next
time so I hope it's good.
*Q: (Jerome Pugmire Associated Press) Nico, just want to ask you what
impression Max has made on you as a driver, from your perspective, what
you can see, what impression he's made on you? *
*NR: *I congratulated him on the win of course, it was awesome and a
great job, especially coming for the first time in the car. It's not to
be underestimated, with all the things you need to do, and different
steering wheels and everything. For sure that wasn't easy. And great for
F1 also of course, lots of news about that.
*Q: (Peter Varkas AutoMotor) Max, I don't want to suggest that from
here it can only get worse as you are 18, but after that spectacular
win, what can be your realistic target for this season in particular?
And how did you see the situation pace-wise between you and Daniel
during the last weekend? In Q1 and Q2 you were quicker. In Q3 he has
produced that surprisingly good lap but then in the first two stints you
were quite on the same pace with him so how do you see it? Is he quicker
than you thought, is he as quick or are you quicker than you thought? *
*MV: *What do you want me to say? I think as a driver you always feel
that you are the faster one, no? Daniel is a great driver, you can
clearly see that and from my side, I was still getting used to the car,
even in the race I was still getting used to the car because it was the
first time I was doing a race in the car. We'll see. I was feeling good.
In the test, after the race, I again learned some very important things
about the car, how to get it better for me in qualifying terms. But
that's all a process and it will only start to get better. Even here I
will learn again and it will take a few races before you are fully
comfortable with all the systems. And yeah, about the race, I won the
race, we'll see what happens now in the next few races. I just stay
calm, try to do the best I can and from there on we'll see what position
that is. Of course Mercedes is still very strong so it will be difficult
to beat them at the moment but we'll do our best.
