“I think it’s been… a lot of bad luck, not bad luck but lots of small problems. The championship could have been very different without these problems, we could easily still be fighting for the championship. I think we’ve changed a lot of things since Long Beach and had two 4th places in the last 2 races. I think the team knows how to do it, we had some bad preparation at the start of the year, but I think the more recent results have shown that we’re on the right path.”

“I don’t know. I think if it rains, it’s a big gamble, nobody knows what’s going to happen. We’ve never had a wet race in the championship so maybe it’ll be very good, maybe it’ll be very bad, I don’t know. With what’s going on in the fight for the championship, I’d prefer it to be dry!”

“I’d say… a bit different, you know, season 2 was very frustrating at the beginning. It’s never easy to lose two podiums, maybe a win, due to technical failures in the first two races. So I had a rough start to the season, but since then it’s been quite good, very consistent. This type of racing is so close that if not everything goes your way, it can be very difficult, but I think this weekend is very important, I want to finish on a high note, maybe catch third in the championship, and I would have saved a lot of things I think.”
