(Mario Bauer – Berliner Zeitung) Nick, you've been in Formula One as long as Jenson has been. Does seeing him win now, having a car to do so, while you've both had ups and downs in your careers over all these years, does it make you a bit frustrated to see that you still don't have a car to win or does that give you confidence that you could do it as well, as long as you get the car?

NH:
I like to see him winning, it rather gives me confidence, although it's not only because of that. I believe in myself anyway but I think all the people I speak to and know are happy for him to win because he was fighting with not a good car and now he's able to show what he can do and it probably shows people that are not so much into Formula One how important the car is, but that's just the way it goes.

Q:
(Frederic Ferret – L'Equipe) Sebastian, as it is your home Grand Prix, do you feel that it is an advantage, do you have more things to do as Jenson lost his home Grand Prix last race?

SV:
I don't see this as a disadvantage. I think it's always nice to come here, as I said, for all of us. It's nice to see a lot of people mainly cheering for us. If anything it gives you more power and maybe that extra little you need but in the end, of course there are more people and maybe more attention but the thing that matters most is the racing, so you have to sometimes forget everyone and everything around you and just focus on what really matters. It might be a bit more difficult to keep the focus but that's the most important thing, the key I think, to focus on racing. In the end, you can get ten points, you can get ten points in England, Silverstone, or you could get ten points in Australia. It doesn't give you more points if you win here than anywhere else. Of course it's nicer to win your home Grand Prix but it's a long, long way and the race is on Sunday. First of all there is Friday, tomorrow, to prepare and then the qualifying. It's always a long way.

Q:
(Carole Capitaine – L'Equipe) A question for all of you: what about your future? Do you know where you will be next year, in which team and are you already working on that?

SV:
I know.

NH:
As you probably know, at BMW we don't speak about our contracts, so there's not much I can say.

TG:
Quite similar for me. These questions are sometimes quite difficult to answer but let's say the future doesn't look too bad.

AS:
Same for me. It's too early to talk about it, half the season is over and so many things can happen. Things still haven't been solved, the talking about where Formula One is going and I think that as soon as it is decided what happens with Formula One, then we can concentrate on the drivers. I can't say anything about my position anyway.

NR:
I'm looking at my options at the moment and that's it. There's not much more to say than that, other than I'm very, very happy with where I am at the moment. I'm very pleased with my team and it's working really well, working together with them, so that's the most important thing for now.

SV:
I've said it already. I've said I know. I can also now say...whatever you want to hear. I think everybody knows about my situation next year. I'm very happy. We are very, very strong this year which may be a surprise for some people but I think maybe the last couple of years weren't the best for the team but I'm very pleased that at the moment that I arrived we had the right car to finally be where I think we deserved to be.
