Ahead of this weekend’s race in Brazil, Sebastian blogs about focusing on the here and now, not the ‘what ifs’ everyone else prefers to be talking about…
"Boy, it's good to be back in Brazil! What happened in the last race hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm. We’re more excited about the last few races than ever.
“Interlagos has a good mix of fast and slow turns, which should give us an advantage. People are also speculating about what the weather is going to do here: the forecast is for heavy rain on Sunday, but I guess we have to wait to see how it all turns out.
“Looking at the championship, I know it has looked better for me, but I won’t give up hope. Hope always dies last, as they say, and that’s certainly the case here.
“The race in South Korea was a step backwards, but we’re determined not to let it put us off. We will continue to focus on giving our very best in the final two races – like we always do.
“Something else that’s not about to change is our race strategy: sure, Mark and I both race for ourselves, but we always have the team and the constructors’ title in the back of our minds.
“If you look at the points that are still available, you’ll see that we both still have a chance to become world champion and we won’t stop competing until our races are run.
“As you might know, I'm not a big fan of speculating about ‘what if’ scenarios. I prefer to focus on the present and what is at hand right now.
“Anything else will lead you off-track, and that's something that no one can afford at this point of the season.”
