Q: (Marco Evangelisti – Corriere dello Sport) Jarno, what were you shouting at the end during your parade lap, and was that gesture like Luca Toni? Was it good wishes for today?
JT:
Well, first of all I called for a
tricolore flag, the Italian flag, because I kept it for a long, long time, since 2005, in my bag and unfortunately I couldn't get it out. Today was the time to get it out and it was a perfect day because we are all Italian here, I think, because
Ferrari and I are Italian and so I wanted to celebrate.
Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to get it, and then I made a couple of gestures. The first one I was doing in the car was an old gesture that Fernando and I did a few years ago when we were at
Renault together and similar to the one that Luca Toni makes. I hope that today's result, all from Italy, will help the Italian football team to get into the semi-final.
Q: (Asen Stoyanov – Monitor) A question for everybody: what do you think about the idea of having a French Grand Prix on the streets of Paris, in 2010 maybe?
FM:
The hotels will be much better, that's for sure! The track I'm not sure. I think they need to do a great job on the track because this is a nice track. To build a nice track in Paris is not so easy. We need to wait and see if it's going to be the case or not.
KR:
There is always a lot of speculation where the races are going to be in a few years, but there's no point in really talking about it before we get the green light and it's going to happen. It's just wasting time really.
JT:
As Kimi said, there's been a lot of speculation and it's not down to us to judge. Personally I like coming to France; I have a lot of supporters and I get on very well with French people. I like this track, but as a driver I will drive wherever
Formula 1 will go.
Q: (Thierry Wilmotte – Le Soir) Jarno, when you were battling with Heikki, did you remember the podium you lost in the last corner a few years ago; were you thinking about that?
JT:
Yes, it was my revenge. It was my revenge because I was probably even slower but as I say, I'm a big fighter and I'm hard-headed and I didn't want to give up. I would have been really disappointed.
