Q:
You can remember it from the F3000 days, can you?
SB:
Yes, it is difficult to believe that it was six years ago as it feels like it was yesterday. It was a great weekend in 2002 and it would be awesome to have that kind of weekend again. I am not dreaming but definitely the new car seems to be a good step forward and we will see where we are after qualifying.
Q:
A lot of people would say it is a big risk bringing a new car to Monaco.
SB:
The big risk is if you wreck it and you don't have any spares. That's the risk, but I think it is not more risky to bring the TR3 than the TR2B. We have spare parts, so we can make one or two mistakes but not too many, so that kind of dictates how the weekend goes for us. If you make one you know that your joker is out and you have got to be careful.
Q:
We are nearly a third of the way through the season. How do you feel about your first few races in F1?
SB:
It has been interesting. I think we had an awesome start to the season in Melbourne, at least the race. Then we were quite clearly lacking pace to be in the top 10. Hopefully this is the second start for us for the season and things can turn around a bit and we can be a bit more competitive.
Q:
Giancarlo, this is your 200th grand prix. How does that sound?
Giancarlo Fisichella:
It is a special race for me. First of all because I love Monaco. It is one of my favourite circuits and it is going to be my 200th grand prix. It is a special race and I am looking forward to it. I hope to do well and it would be nice to score some points but it is going to be very difficult.
Q:
What chances have you got of scoring points?
GF:
It is maybe going to be the best chance to score some points and to get into the top 15 in the qualifying session which is our target at the moment. I think the top 15 is possible but scoring points is going to be difficult. We will see. At least on Sunday it is going to be wet and that is another good chance.
Q:
What is it going to be like around here without traction control - and in the wet without traction control?
