Drivers: Jenson Button (Brawn GP), Timo Glock (Toyota), Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber), Kazuki Nakajima (Williams), Adrian Sutil (Force India)

Questions from the floor:

Q: (Marco Degli'Innocenti – La Gazzetta dello Sport)
For all of you: are you envious of Fernando Alonso at the moment?

Timo Glock:
Why?

Q: (Marco Degli'Innocenti – La Gazzetta dello Sport)
It was the most kept secret in Formula One but now it's no longer a secret.

Jenson Button:
I'm pretty happy actually where I'm sat right now. I'm good to go.

TG:
There's nothing to say. I think it was clear for everybody a couple of months ago, so now it's just official.

Q: (Marco Degli'Innocenti – La Gazzetta dello Sport)
But are you envious of Fernando?

TG:
No.

Adrian Sutil:
I think it's good for him but for me nothing has changed. I don't care.

Kazuki Nakajima:
Same for me.

Nick Heidfeld:
I think he's one of the few guys who is in a team for next year where he can believe he might have a better chance to fight for the championship than in many other teams. Ferrari has always been one of the strongest teams in the last couple of years, and on top of that, even though I drive for BMW and I'm very happy there, Ferrari has a special name in the sport, so it must be a special thing. It's not only for Italians like you, which is why you asked the question, but I think Ferrari is a great team.

Q: (Marc Surer – Sky Germany)
Timo, you once said that you never know why you're quick or why you're slow with this car. You were so much faster than Jarno (Trulli) in the last race; do you know why – apart from your talent, of course?

TG:
I was already quick in Singapore last year. I like street circuits. I don't know if the ChampCar series in 2005 was experience for me which just made it easier in Singapore but overall I like the circuit, and I think you can make a difference as a driver in Singapore. Overall, it was a possibility for me, with my driving style, to set up the car very much more in my direction. Jarno took over the set-up on Saturday morning and it didn't work for him, so I just like to drive on circuits like this. You can just go high risk, you can't make any mistakes. That's the reason why I was quick in Singapore. I like the circuit quite a lot, it's good fun, and I think everything came together.

Q: (Jerome Bourret – L'Equipe)
Jenson, you're known as a pretty relaxed and cool guy, but how stressful has this season been? How do you deal with all these ups and downs? And was Singapore really a race for you or not?

JB:
It has been a pretty hectic season, obviously with a fantastic start. Then there were a few races when the car wasn't as good as we had hoped and then there were a couple of races where I didn't really get the best out of the car. So yeah, the last two races have been good for me. I've been happy with my performance, I've been very happy with the team's performance. It sounds silly but it is a bit of a rollercoaster when you're fighting for a championship, and it's been a long time since I've been fighting for a championship, so you do forget. But if it was easy we'd all be doing it. It's part of the challenge, it's a sport that is very emotional for me. I've always loved motor racing since I was very, very young and being in the position that I'm in, I'm certainly very privileged and very lucky to be fighting for a championship, so I will never forget that. And I also have some great people around me who keep me grounded and focussed. It's obviously tough but it's also very exciting and I wouldn't change it for the world, for sure.

Q:
Jenson, I understand that you're not trying too hard to win the Japanese Grand Prix here on Sunday. For you, obviously, winning the championship is more important but remembering what happened in Brazil last year, Lewis Hamilton said finishing fifth was actually more difficult than winning some races. What's your opinion there?

JB:
I've never said that I don't want to win this race, for sure. We go to every race to win it. I think you're getting it confused with… for me the most important thing is to win the World Championship. It's not when or where, that's exactly what I said. For sure, I would love to win in Suzuka, it's a circuit that I love. I've got a lot of connections with Japan from the past and from the present. So for sure I'm here to win this weekend and that's my aim. So the second part of the question is irrelevant.

Q: (Marco Degli'Innocenti – La Gazzetta dello Sport)
I have a question for Adrian: if you can tell us something about your future. Maybe you are going to drive another Mercedes engine somewhere else?

AS:
Well, right now I've got a real good offer, driving in a winning team… in GP2! I'm going to try to go there!

Q: (Ralf Bach - R & B)
Question to Nick and Adrian: did you speak about your accident in the last race or not?

NH:
Yeah, I think the first time we spoke about it was when I came out of the stewards' room. I asked him what went on. He explained. He said he was sorry and for me that was OK.

JB:
That was a big fine!

AS:
Yes, big enough.

NH:
Just a big verbal fine, but nothing with the hands.

AS:
I've explained it several times and I think there's nothing more to say. We saw all the pictures and that's it. We spoke to each other, twenty thousand is enough.

NH:
I didn't receive it yet.

AS:
It's not for you.
