Have you seen the gap in points and speed?
Q: In the final stages Jenson Button came closer and closer. Did the Canadian race pop up in your mind?
SV: No, not at all. We had enough speed in the car. But, of course, you never know when you’re running into traffic and the blue flags have to be waved whether the drivers will immediately respect the race leader, because these guys are also doing their own race and fighting for their position. As I said before, there were no real issues in the race and those that happened can probably be best described as very minor irritations. Towards the end we eased the speed a bit to make sure that the car was safely homeward bound - that is why Jenson was able to come closer. But should it have been necessary I would have been able to go on full throttle again to keep the status quo.
fastest lap only meant that Vettel was cruising for the win. He was under no threat. Pace is pace.
