🗣️: "George said after Silverstone he thought 25 points was more or less fair, based on the bad luck he had and maybe you having a bit of bad luck. Do you agree, Kimi? Despite the bad luck, do you think you’re driving as well, if not better, than when you were winning the five races in a row?"
Kimi: "It’s really hard to judge because, yes, he’s had bad luck, for sure. Monaco was one of them. Of course, we wouldn’t have known how the race would have ended because we were both neck and neck. It was impossible to know. But for sure, yeah, he was very unlucky because at that point he was leading the race and he had to stop. Then there were a couple of other times that he was a bit unlucky. In my case, we were going towards a result that was almost certain. Barcelona was P2. Silverstone, we cannot know because I didn’t have a shot, but I think we would have been in the fight for it. So for sure, we know those would have been certain points. I have to say both of us had bad luck. One of us had it in more critical moments at times, but as I said, it’s the way it is. This is how motorsport goes, and we all know that. We could see ourselves how this can shift very quickly. As a team, definitely reliability has not been our strongest point, and we’ve realised that is something we need to keep working on. For example, Ferrari seems very strong on that side, so we just need to make sure. I know the team is working super hard to make sure that these things don’t happen. But if I look back after this first—this is weekend 10—if we look at me and George combined, we lost lots of points. Then if you look at the Constructors’ Championship balance, it’s definitely a big hit. But as drivers, in this case me and George, we just try to do our best and make sure we use every opportunity we get."
