Q:
I just wanted a quick word association, that was all.
JB:
Steak was my quick answer. There are loads of good restaurants. There’s one called Buena Notte which is fantastic.
KN:
Well, ...
JB:
Girls, girls, that’s a good one.
KN:
The views.
HK:
I don’t know, I don’t know what to say. It’s a great city, great circuit but there’s no point in looking too much into the future. I’d rather live in the present time and try to make the right decisions in every-day life, whether it’s racing or normal life.
RK:
It’s not one of my favourite race tracks.
Q: (Dan Knutson – National Speed Sport News).
Heikki, you were awake, but what was your first memory after the accident?
HK:
I remember being in intensive care in the hospital in the city, a lot of people around me. I was a bit confused what had happened, so I asked my team doctor Mr Hintsa ‘what are we doing here?’ and he explained what happened and then after that, the memory has been normal and I was aware of everything after that. That’s where I got back on track.
Q: (Michael Schmidt – Auto Moto und Sport).
Heikki, the tyres did a good job in terms of deceleration but on the other hand it took quite a while before they dug you out of there. Is that a worry?
HK:
Yeah, of course, it’s something that we all should look very carefully at and see if there are better compromises but luckily I had no injuries and I was not in a hurry to get out of there, my life was not threatened because of that, so in this case, the tyres did the work very well. But had I injured myself while hitting the barrier, maybe then it was more important to get myself out of there quickly and it would have been a bit marginal. It’s something we should have a look at.
