    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Formula One driver (on his win in Malaysia)
    "Well how do I feel? I think generally, I think that people didn't see that we performed well on the day. As a team I think we did a very good job, we got a fantastic result. I think we had a very strong weekend in Australia already but maybe didn't get quite the result we wanted but in Malaysia I think we were surprised again to be at the top, racing at the top. All race I think we worked excellently well with the tyres et cetera so I think that's what people forgot. Obviously what stuck to their heads was the way the race ended but as I said I don't think there's much more to be added than what happened. I told the team after, I apologised for putting myself above the team which I didn't mean to do. There's not much more to say really. I don't apologise for winning, I think that that's why I was employed in the first place and that's why I'm here. I love racing so that's what I did."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull Formula One driver (on the Chinese Grand Prix)
    "China will be different again. Different circuit. Different climate. So I think we're still in the learning process. Obviously the first two races helped a lot. I think it was obviously for everyone to see that working with the tyres, trying to make the tyres last is crucial - it determines your strategy and therefore determines your race and result."
