improve pace positive sure turkey weekend
We had a positive weekend in Turkey and I'm sure we can improve our pace and have a competitive weekend in Monza.
happy tough weekend
I'm very happy with that as it's been a tough weekend for me,
circuit completed far good grip intended low positive ran start test weekend
It's been a positive start to the weekend and so far so good. The circuit had very low grip but we ran through everything we intended and most importantly, it's good that Anthony completed all his test items.
fuel happy issues maybe others reasonably running solved tomorrow wait
We just have to wait and see tomorrow. We are reasonably happy that we have solved some our issues but maybe the others are running very big fuel loads. Tomorrow is the important day.
car control hit massive soon
You are not in control of the car in any way because as soon as you hit a big puddle like Liuzzi did, that's it and it could be a massive accident.
bit front good helps hopefully near nice places reasonably strategy ten
With Kimi ten places back it helps us a little bit but even so I think he can still come through from 11th on the grid. It's just nice to be near to the front and hopefully if we have a reasonably good strategy we can keep it there.
behind car forward front lost obviously past result safety sat thoughts three turning
Today's result was obviously a disappointing way to end the season. We lost out under the first safety car when we pitted and the safety car was in front of us. It should have waved us past but it didn't. Montoya and I sat behind it and it was then that I lost about three places. But my thoughts are already turning to 2006 and I think we have a lot to look forward to.
good talking
We are still talking so the situation's good but I can't say anything else.
both raining
We were very lucky, the both of us, ... It just started raining just after my run.
amongst atmosphere challenge circuit corners fast favourite formula oldest provides special
Monza is Formula One's oldest circuit and a favourite amongst the drivers', ... It has a very special atmosphere and provides a real challenge with its combination of long corners and very fast straights.
accidents hectic lap mad manic time trying
Manic. The whole day's been manic with the weather. Rain, traffic, accidents. It was a hectic session. It was mad for us trying to get a lap time in.
finished good last race year
We had a very good race in Monza last year when we finished on the podium,
case definitely driver f1 guy love next
I love the role of being the experienced driver and that is definitely the case next year - I think I am the most experienced guy in F1 next year.
acid car corners fit hit lap legs pulling
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
