The Question: Obviously your best-ever Formula One result last time out in Hungary, second place, also, the best result for a Russian in Formula One. What was the reaction like back home?
What Daniil said:
DK: It was a good race for me in Hungary. Hard to say what was the reaction – I didn’t count any reactions or stuff like that but I think it was good for myself, good for the team generally to achieve that in this hard season. Now there’s been the summer break and we are back to our basic work. We hope to keep working hard to achieve similar results – even though we know it’s not going to be easy because also in Hungary we had to take some opportunities. Nevertheless, when they come, you have to take them.
What he might have meant to say:
DK: It’s hard to say what the reaction was at home as I didn’t ask my neighbours in Switzerland what they thought as it’s too far to walk to the next estate to bother. Oh, you mean my other home. I haven’t been to Rome for a while now. Oh, you mean in Russia. Good God, why would I go back there to check? I mean you’ve been to Sochi haven’t you? It’s pretty much all like that, No, no, no, I’ll stick with Switzerland thanks.
