Thursday press conference - Spanish GP - Pt. 2.

Thursday, 24th April 2008

Drivers: Rubens Barrichello (Honda), Pedro de la Rosa (McLaren Mercedes), Fernando Alonso (Renault), Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari).

Q: (Toni Lopez – La Vanguardia)
Question for Pedro and Fernando, today, the FIA has launched a campaign against racism. Do you agree that it starts here and now in Barcelona?

PdlR:
He’s a two-time World Champion, he should take…

FA:
He’s from Barcelona, so…

PdlR:
I don’t really know what to say. I was not aware of that and all I can say is that the Spanish people will show to the world how good they are this weekend, and how good historically they’ve been. We’ve never had any problems here before and we will never have (them again). Wait and see. But I was not aware of this campaign or anything to be honest.

FA:
Same. I was not aware but this weekend it will be OK and it will always be OK here. Everybody will be able to see that.

Q: (Jerome Bourret – L’Equipe).
To Kimi and Fernando, can you imagine, during your career, racing two hundred and sixty GPs or will you be fed up with the PR etc before that point?

KR:
What, whether I will do two hundred and sixty something races? I don’t even know how many I have now but probably not.

FA:
I don’t know, I don’t know. I don’t think so either. I don’t know how many I have at the moment either, but 260 seems too many years.

Rubens Barrichello:
By the time that I finish I will have three hundred anyway, so…

FA:
The problem is Rubens. Without Rubens you can go for the record but with him it will be tough.

Q: (Dan Knutson – National Speed Sport News).
After the test here there was a lot of discussion about the coming ban of tyre warming blankets. A lot of series don’t have tyre-warming blankets and have pit stops. Is that going to be a problem for F1, to have this ban?
