Q: Obviously, points for you in the last race. That must have been encouraging especially with the upgrade you had as well.
JB: Yes, it was very encouraging. The first few races, in qualifying, were reasonable but I struggled in the race to have a good performance basically because twice I crashed at turn one. It was finally nice to get to the end of a grand prix and to be not just scoring one point, but to get three points on the board. It was a good race and the pace of the car was reasonable. There is a lot of work still to be done but the positives are we are improving and every race we go to we feel we are getting a little bit more out of the car, and so far everything is going to plan.
Q: Have you got more bits coming here?
JB: A few little things. We have got a few tweaks here which should make a bit of time. Also, this is a circuit which I think will suit our car a little bit more than Barcelona, which is very bumpy, and I think that ride quality is an area where we are lacking. We have got a few tweaks on that side and it is a smoother circuit, so I will be looking for a good performance in qualifying and then we will see. If everyone
Q: What about the lack of traction control here? How much of a difference is that going to make?
JB: On this circuit in some places it’s not going to be an issue at all because you have got a lot of positive camber which helps you through the corner. There will be other places where it will be difficult. The last three corners are very slow, so it is going to be interesting there. But also the temperatures aren’t high here, so we are not going to be overheating the tires or causing problems to the rear tires in that way. But because it is a low temperature, we might have issues with the graining on the softer tire. We will have to wait and see.
Q: It is a milestone for your teammate Rubens Barrichello this weekend and he will no doubt be out celebrating…
JB: It’s 257 races this weekend, I’ve been told.
Q: It is!
JB: That’s fantastic. And he doesn’t look a day over 37!
