Q&A: Cindric, Power, Briscoe & Castroneves

Come 2 March, has your legal team given you any indication of is this going to be a week-long event, a month-long event? Do you have any idea how long you could be involved come 2 March?

HC:
It is hard to say. [A trial like this] they say is about 20 days. The things always change. In my opinion, to be honest, they are saying strongly that they never saw a case like this. They're very surprised. But in my point we're going to present ourselves the best way we can present. But in terms of time-wise, that's what the indictment says, about 20 business days. That's what we're counting on. We're going to go for it. After everything is over, like I said, I'll be more than ready.

Q:
What was your thought on Will's performance at Surfers Paradise? That was a non-championship race, but he showed good speed in qualifying to be on pole by a good margin. Was that something that made the decision easier in the end?

TC:
After the first couple sessions, I kept asking Ryan if the Australians got to run a different course than the rest of the guys because, for whatever reason, even in the race, Will was [inaudible] about our pit before he went into turn one, and he was still about a second a lap faster than everybody else.

One thing, I did see Will after the race, and obviously he was very disappointed. Being your home country, all the rest of it, all the stage is lined up to have your dream day, then it doesn't work out for you. At the end of the day, sometimes that makes you stronger. The way he handled that situation after the race - he didn't look at anybody else, the wall didn't move, the car didn't break maybe - he knew exactly how to handle it. That's a big part of doing what we do. You got to be fast, but the days that don't work you got to just be able to put it behind you. That showed us a little something off the racetrack that he's capable of.
