The only South-American driver reached a fantastic result in the season opener. After starting in 5th position in a very clean race he could get the 4th place.

"I am very happy, I didnīt expect such a good result. My team gave me an excellent car and I could managed to put it behind the two teams with the most powerful engines."

Living in a world of wonder the Argentinan flew back to his country to celebrate with his family, taking two days off before the start of the tests at Barcelona.
