Actually, I think it's the only time the team under Stewart, Jaguar and
Red Bull ever scored points here, so it's not a good record for us here in terms of points' finishes, so we've got a long way to go tomorrow, and if we can keep the reliability that we've shown in the last few races, and focus on the job in hand, and not get above ourselves and get good solid points again. For sure, if we finish eighth, that would be a bit disappointing, but if other guys have strong days you never know what can happen, but if we can deliver tomorrow in a dry race, good clean stops and a good start, we can get some good points.
Q:
Kimi, how happy were you after testing. What sort of mood were you in when you came here?
KR:
I think we were pretty happy with the car but coming here, after the test, yesterday the morning started well and then in the afternoon I was nowhere, so it was a bit of a mystery, how we lost all the speed but we managed to find it back. We worked pretty hard with the guys on the set-up and got it back more or less where we wanted to be. We would rather be in first place but I would say that qualifying has not been our strongest point, especially the first and second ones. I thought that we had pretty good speed in the third qualifying. It depends a lot on everybody's fuel levels but I think it's going to be OK.
Q:
Are you therefore suggesting that the car will be better on full tanks or is it better on fuller tanks?
KR:
For me, it's been [that] all year. I'm pretty happy every time we get into the last qualifying when I put in more fuel because we always seem to find more grip and the balance seems to get better. Maybe that's why we don't get the best out of the tyres in first and second qualifying but as long as you get through those it doesn't really matter where you are.
Q:
Are you quite confident for wet or dry tomorrow?
KR:
Yeah, this morning we seemed to be fast in either condition. I think our car is normally pretty strong over the race distance, so it's a bit of a similar situation as to what it was here last year. Hopefully we are OK. I'm not sure but I think we should be.
