The Progress of the 2009 Honda Civic

We knew it would be a decent car because we put so much effort into it. We were quietly working on the car, but really the only time we started to think this is properly quick was when we didn't go testing. You were sort of going round it and then thinking, well, hang on a minute. This means that we're nearly two seconds quicker than anyone else. Then you think, we must have got our sum-drong. But nothing prepared you for when you started running it in Barcelona. And you were like, oh my God, this looks properly fast. Shop will come to that in a minute.
