Q:
Was it hard to find a good compromise between stopping the car bottoming out in the fast Turn 8 and running it low enough for the rest of the lap?
TG:
We found a pretty good compromise and my car was consistent through Turn 8 but I did see a lot of cars struggling there, especially with the different fuel loads. I think we did a good job there.
Q:
Have you been spending much time at the factory in Cologne?
TG:
Yes. It's important for me to be in Cologne working with the team as closely as possible. I have a flat there just five minutes away from the company. It's good for the team to have the driver there to talk things through with and help develop the car. It's hard work and it's so involved that sometimes you think you can't analyse everything. It can be difficult for a driver to keep up with the technical side but it's a learning process and ultimately it's all about experience.
Q:
How much are you looking forward to the Monaco Grand Prix?
TG:
I love racing there even if it is very punishing to any mistakes. I particularly enjoyed my GP2 races there and the 2006 race was actually quite a pivotal moment in my career. I started 17th and got all the way up to fourth before I had to stop with a gearbox problem. It was a key moment because the iSport team boss Paul Jackson was watching the race as his two drivers were out. He was at the Swimming Pool area and he realised I was doing very well in a car that was not perfectly set up. When he had trouble with one of his drivers later, he gave me the chance and I took it. I'm looking forward to trying to get the best out of the TF108 around the streets.
