Martin Whitmarsh - Lewis kept his cool

Martin Whitmarsh, CEO Vodafone McLaren Mercedes

"We knew we couldn't take any risks. We couldn't take any risks with Vettel, he is a young charger, we were saying to Lewis just take it easy. We knew we were racing Glock. We came here for fifth place, we could see Glock, we had the GPS and we could see Glock coming back towards us. We had the conviction, that we were going to catch him. But then you start to worry, "Is it raining as hard as we think it is?", "Are we going to catch him?", staring at the predictions and wondering whether we had got this wrong. Obviously we told Lewis, don't worry about Vettel, Glock's on dry tyres, you are going to find him in that last lap, but you know, until you do it, you haven't done it! Lewis kept his cool. I'm sure he was much cooler than the rest of us on the pitwall anyway."
