Drivers: Fernando Alonso (Renault), Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari), Adrian Sutil (Force India), Jarno Trulli (Toyota)

Questions from the floor:

Q: (Dan Knutson – National Speed Sport News)
If I can ask all of you. Jean Todt is the new President of the FIA. What would you like to see him achieve and accomplish for Formula One?

Jarno Trulli:
I mean he knows better than me what Formula One needs at the moment. Probably stability and consistency in terms of rules as this will help the cost cutting. There are plenty of things that will be discussed with the team principals. They really have to work together in order to get Formula One back to where it was last year. This year has been pretty difficult in general. On our side, the drivers' side, I think we have always had a good relationship with the FIA people. We look after safety and it will be important to talk to each other.

Kimi Raikkonen:
I think he is going to do good work. I think he is a good guy for this work and he is very straightforward and not too much politics. But I know from working with him that he is going to be the right guy.

Fernando Alonso:
The same. I think his experience in Formula One will be a huge help to improve things and he will have a better idea of what Formula One needs. He is quite a clever guy, so I am sure we are in good hands now.

Adrian Sutil:
Yeah, I think a good President. He has a lot of experience in Formula One and he knows what's important. I think the biggest point is maybe the drivers can also argue a little bit than just being asked about situations and stuff like that as it did not really happen, I think I had a feeling, in the last years. That will be the most important thing for myself that we are in there for discussions as well sometimes.

Q: (Chris Lines – Associated Press)
Question for you all about the late start: starting in the afternoon, going into the evening. We had a situation in Australia, first race of the year, with a similar kind of timing. Towards the end of the race there were complaints from the drivers about the sun getting in their eyes, complaints about the track cooling down, so the grip wasn't as good. Do you have concerns here for the same reasons?

KR:
I don't think there will be any problems. Of course, it might look a little bit different at some point when the sun disappears but the lights, at least in Singapore, were so good that you hardly see the difference between day and night. Here, it will be quite hot anyhow, so it should be OK.

Q:
Would ten degrees make a lot of difference to the track temperature?

FA:
I don't think so. I think in Australia the temperatures were different. Here, the track temperature at the start of the race will maybe be 50 degrees, so it will never be cool enough to give you problems warming up the tyres.

AS:
Very similar. I think it won't be a real problem. The only place where we were quite late this year with the sunset was in Australia. It was a little bit difficult, for sure, in some corners but not a problem for me, and temperature-wise, well, it's so hot here anyway, so we shouldn't have a problem. For sure you have to readjust the temperatures but it's about communicating with the engineers and just doing the right thing at the right time.
