It was very important for us to finish in the points at Silverstone. The foundations for that result were laid at the French Grand Prix and the team couldn't have done a better job there. The car, the people, everybody at the factory did an absolutely flawless job and we didn't get rewarded for it because there were only two retirements. We did exactly the same at Silverstone, a perfect job with good performances by both drivers and Mark deserved his point. You can only describe that as hard fought, which is the kind of thing we want to be doing.

We have been preparing hard for Hockenheim and we are in good shape. We've tested some... good updates in Jerez (Spain) that we're pleased with so we're going to take them to Germany with the knowledge that they have been properly circuit tested. We've been making good progress in all areas with aerodynamics, controls, systems and engine so we're pretty upbeat in those areas.

I'd like to be in the same position we were in the last two races, with good reliability and a strategy that gives us the ability to be running at the end with the chance of scoring some points. If you're there at the end, as we proved in a fiercely competitive British Grand Prix, you can still bag points. If there's attrition or some kind of incident in Germany, we can do even better than eighth.

With seven races remaining, we will be pulling out all the stops in order to move us up the grid. The car is capable of scoring more points but we need to have two drivers finishing all races. Not an easy task but one that we are focused on.
