good
(But Michael) Schumacher, I know well. We have a good relationship.
bike changes corners fast few full good lap looking lots means potential problems quite riders speed team today tried vibration within work yesterday
We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong.

As for the level of spectacle of the two disciplines, I leave it to the people who watch the races to comment.

My father raced bikes. He gave me the passion very early. I had my first bike when I was three or four years old.

I always race to win, but last year it was like a motocross track and there was so much sand out there. I've got really bad memories of last year and you could say I have a score to settle with the circuit,
bad good luck win
Unfortunately, Sete had a problem, which was bad luck for him because he should have been on the podium. Anyway, this is a good win for me and now I just need one more for the title. But it is not over yet.

Our bike worked really well when we went to Qatar for pre-season testing so we hope that this will be the case again.
along car driving ease experience felt formula maybe particular time wet
It has been a very interesting test, considering how it was the first time I lapped in a Formula One car along with other drivers. I have to say I felt at ease and had no particular problems. Maybe I need a little more experience of driving on a wet track.

It has been an amazing season and today we have won the constructors' title for Yamaha...so I am very happy,
