Kovalainen - win doesn't change much

Heikki Kovalainen is focused on building on his maiden Formula One victory in Hungary, when F1 returns to competitive action next weekend at the all new Valencia circuit in Spain. However, the new winner insists that his first victory doesn't change his approach.

"The win doesn't change too much, really: I still believe I am improving and learning more about the team and the car at each race," said Kovalainen. "My aim for the last part of the season is to win more races and to perform regularly at the front. It's something I was able to do from time to time in the first half of the year, but I now feel more confident that I can be a consistent challenger in the remaining races, and I'm really looking forward to that."
