In this regular feature I will be selecting the best quotes of the race weekend and at the end of the season I will pick the best ten.
However I think I already have the number one when Martin Whitmarsh stated that the McLaren was suffering a “Performance Shortfall.”
Any way a pick of the quotes from Melbourne.
Thursday Press Conference
Massa on being asked about driving alongside Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari:
"I drove alongside Michael (Schumacher), I drove alongside Kimi (Raikkonen) and I've heard for some time that Fernando (Alonso) will come to Ferrari, he (Hamilton) is just another one, I don't care... (MotoGP champion) Valentino Rossi as well and maybe my father will drive for Ferrari next year."
Friday Press Conference
Fernando Alonso on being asked about his first day:
“I think I'm happy, but I could be happier.”
Question: (Chris Creswell - Herald Sun) I've just been reading your diary, Sébastien, it's very funny. Did you really get your Toblerone chocolates taken off you by the customs?
Sebastian Buemi: No, it was a joke.
Q: (Chris Creswell - Herald Sun) And that $350 taxi fare was a joke too?
SB: Yup.
Lewis when asked about his Mclaren MP4-24:
"In general it is a good car, it is just general lack of grip everywhere pretty much."
Mark Webber when asked about his second practice performance:
Question: Do you think you can do it again tomorrow?
Mark Webber: No.
Q: Why not?
MW: Because other people will go faster, I think.
Post Race
Mark Webber on being hit in the first corner:
"All the people come to see you at your home track, you're hoping for a good race for them, and that happens on the first lap...These things (cars) don't do demolition derbies too well."
Jenson Button on winning:
"The way I'm feeling is like yesterday but times 100!"
