Hi guys. I've been back from China for a few days now and I have to say that the whole Asian trip was a massive disappointment.
You all saw what happened in Japan. We'd had a brilliant race to second place and probably should have had a double top-six for the Red Bull team with me and David [Coulthard]. It all ended though because of a clumsy little accident behind the safety car.
It was easily as disappointing as Monaco 2005, because, although I'm not saying I would have won either race, I know this time I would have put Lewis under more pressure than he had in the end.
I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said on Thursday in China ? in the FIA press conference, but I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy.
The fact of the matter is that I said what I said because I thought he didn't do a great job behind the safety car. He could have done much better, in fact. And, to Lewis' credit, he came out and said exactly the same; first to me and then in public.
It's easy to be wise after the event, and what he's said doesn't put me back in the race, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It's just disappointing that it was my race that was ended because of it.
It doesn't bother me what the press said about me, whinging Webber and all that. Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin. It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?
And then on to the race in China. Again things were going well, but it all fell apart. We came in early for a tyre change and I chose to go into intermediates, when two laps later it was pretty clear that dry tyres were the way to go. I thought it was going to rain straight away though, and it didn't, so we dropped back a long way.
I managed to recover, and took eight seconds out of David near the end. I thought I could have passed him for the final point, but it's so hard to follow because you lose so much downforce when you get close behind, so that didn't happen.
And then I got out wide at turns nine and ten and Heikki was able to come by.
So two races that could have could have given us a big haul of points have given us nothing. At least David scored in both so the Constructors' Championship picture looks better and we're only four points behind Williams.
It could have been so much better though. I've always said you're gonna have one day a season where a really good result turns to dust, and I thought I had it in Canada, when I lost second place to a bad strategy and ended up seventh.
Still, it's done now and I'll be off to Brazil in a few days, so I'll just chill out a bit and then we'll see how we go there.
