Q:
Carlin probably has one of the strongest driver line-ups in the series this year, do you all get on or is it very competitive within the team?
SA:
We’re mates off the track but on track we’re racing against each other.
JA:
You learn something from everyone. You see different styles of driving, different philosophy, and you always learn something. Every test I do in England – I’m learning something new. It’s a steep learning curve and testing has been very competitive in terms of lap times, and that’s also why it will be a big challenge this year. For me it’s important to have a team where you can learn so much. That’s quite important.
SA:
And we’ve all been quickest at some stage throughout testing.
JA:
Yeah all four Carlin international cars have been quickest.
SA:
It’s not always been one driver. Amongst the Carlin drivers it’s been like, Oliver is quick there, but Jaime is quick there, and putting it all together we all have the opportunity to learn something. Maybe we’ll have some 1-2-3-4 finishes this season!
JA:
I see the other teams, and you don’t know what they’re doing with their cars in testing, some are fast one day, but the next day they’re nowhere. It’s important to be consistent. There’s a long season ahead of us. There’s a lot of testing to do, a lot of racing, I think its going to be a good year.
