HK:
All I should really add is that I don't think I lost consciousness at any point. The first people who arrived at the scene reported me being awake and assisting getting myself out of there but I don't have any idea, I don't remember that. But after such a hit on the head, I think it's a bit of a shutdown by the body to protect your brain and your organs. I don't have any issues with that. It would be good if one day the whole image came back into my head. I don't think I would have any problem with that, but at the moment all that I can talk about is what I saw on the video.
Q: (Marc Surer Premiere TV).
Heikki, another question. The first moment when you were stuck in the tyres, did you have the tyres on your head, do you remember that? You were stuck in the car, or you don't remember that at all?
HK:
Yeah, I've obviously seen it on the images, that the tyres were over me and I sort of penetrated through the tyre wall, but I don't remember that moment.
Q: (Marc Surer Premiere TV).
Did you have marks on your helmet?
HK:
Yes, quite a lot of marks, but I think the helmet did its work, it took the impact very well and I didn't have any injuries to my head, that's the most important thing.
Q: (Marc Surer Premiere TV).
Jenson, you mentioned the tyres just now. You have hard tyres here and last year it was 50 degrees on the asphalt, now we maybe have 20-something. Do you think it will be a problem to get the hard tyres up to temperature?
JB:
I think it's going to be very different, for sure, but in the winter we do a lot of testing in colder temperatures and we are able to get tyre temperature, but it's just going to be very different to what we're used to here. The tyres are obviously going to work in a very different way and over the next two days, that's what we're going to be working on and working with. The information from last year will also be useful but it's going to be very different to what we'll experience this year, for sure, both tyres (compounds), not just one tyre.
Q: (Heikki Kulta Turun Sanomat).
Heikki, was that the first black-out of your career and was that the most serious accident that you've had?
HK:
I think it's yes to both question. I haven't had a black-out before. I've had a couple of serious accidents before but I never knocked myself out like that and therefore it's got to be the most serious accident so far.
Q: (Dominic Fugere Le Journal de Montreal).
Question for all four of you: I would like you to fast forward one month from now and just give me a quick answer: if I say to you Montreal, what do you reply?
JB:
Great, great steak, fantastic steak. Four weeks from now, I wouldn't have a clue. I think we will have a greater understanding of the title contenders. For us, as a team, I think you will see us improving, for sure, not enough to fight with the title contenders, but improving all the same.
