We're not keen on the idea of freezing the whole engine. It makes it very impractical for all the engine manufacturers.

It's very clear, if you take out all the problems, we are faster than we were in Australia.

That's rubbish. I have absolutely zero worries as far as that's concerned.

Eight of the teams believe one interpretation and Ferrari have a slightly different interpretation.
bosses car earn fast few formula heads hold honda order perform pressure prove term within
It's at times like this that the bosses have to hold their heads up and really earn their money. We have a fast car and we just need a few things to go right in order to prove its performance. There will be no knee-jerk reaction. Honda are in formula one for the long term and the pressure on us to perform is self-generated from within the team.
call engineer quick race
It was a quick call by the race engineer and we need to see if it was right later.

Takuma Sato has been an extremely valuable and much-liked member of our team for four years in the roles of test driver, third driver and, latterly, race driver. He has made an enormous contribution to B*A*R Honda's development. Takuma's current contract reaches its conclusion at the end of 2005 but B*A*R Honda is in discussions with Takuma and his management regarding possibilities for the future.
both impossible value worth
It is up to them to make a suggestion. I think he (Jenson) is worth a lot to both teams. We wouldn't be squabbling over him if he were not, but his value is impossible to quantify.
car cause combined compared experience extent figures forget gives good greater last learned less moment people team understood year
Over the last year we have understood to a much greater extent why the '04 car was good and the '05 car less so. People forget that we are still, compared to some of the others, a young team and I think we've learned a lot. The aerodynamic figures for the new car combined with what we learned from last year's experience gives us cause for optimism...at the moment the figures look very promising.

Our target in 2006 is to challenge for race wins and we will do our utmost to achieve that objective.

This is the best driver line-up in our team's history. It is also the best team of drivers on the grid.
best cannot diversion focused massive moment possibly share
They share an engine...but at the moment we are focused on what we need to do, which is to do the best that we possibly can and we cannot have massive diversion from that.
brave decision good
I think they (the stewards) made a brave decision and good on them.
backwards both deal impossible letters number open process trying value williams worth
If Williams want to do a deal we are open to discussion. Jenson is worth a lot to both teams. We wouldn't be squabbling over him if he were not, but his value is impossible to quantify. Jenson has already started the process of trying to get out of his Williams contract. There has been a number of letters going backwards and forwards and also discussions.
