I had such great pace. “In actual fact, I had too much front wing in the car to start off with. It was one of the reasons you struggle to look after the rear tyres, it’s better to drive a car with more understeer and I had a bit too much front end. “Obviously I was trying to get past Jenson, I had so much pace at the time, and once I did get past him my tyres were finished, so that forced me into a four-stopper – I don’t even know, how many stops did I do? Five? Four? “Considering we had a bad pit stop as well, I think we did a pretty good job to get back up to fourth.”

Horner: We are not invincible!!

 "Things can change very quickly. Fernando Alonso made our job more difficult in Turkey and although no one else moved in the vicinity of pace, two or three weeks we were close to McLaren and more after we saw Mercedes to take steps forward. We can not afford to be complacent. We must keep our head bowed, trying to optimize our package and continue to learn to get the most out of our car. This was the 18th victory of our two and a half years, so we have already gained some experience in this field, "said the technical director of the group of Milton-Keynes.

So we [didn't] thought any more the possibility to fight with Sebastian for P1, we concentrate on P2. “I had a little bit of advantage, in terms of tyre degradation, in that part of the race compared to Mark. As Mark said we used the DRS and I was able to overtake him. “And then in the last part of the race it was more or less the opposite. We had maybe a little bit of a disadvantage with tire age, we lost the position again.”

DRS will be allowed in Monaco!!

Sebastian Vettel said that he didn't need to make a fourth pit stop on his way to dominating the Istanbul GP.

Speaking after the end of the race he said: “It wasn't easy from the start to know what what was going to happen. “Of course you have a rough idea about tires and how long they will last but you really have to wait for the first and maybe second stint to see this is the trend, this is where we’re going. “In the end I think I could have afforded to stay out on my first set of primes but you have to be in a position for whatever comes. I thought, at that time, I could have made it easily to chequered flag. “But then, if something happens, if there’s an accident elsewhere and the safety car comes out, then obviously you’re on used tyres so I think it was the right thing to come in another time even though it was just a very short stint after the stop.”

Turkish GP (Race) - ''Yes, that's what I'm talking about''
