If you can get the funds to continue, how do you think the results should progress?
WD:
I am working really well with the team and I have no doubt we can win races and achieve consistent podiums throughout the season.

You're potentially driving an F1 car later this year, surely any company would jump at the chance to be associated with an
Formula One car driver?
WD:
We have certainly used this fantastic opportunity every time we speak to companies. It seems that every one wants to know you once you have made it, but are not too keen to help along the way.

If you do return to Australia, are there many opportunities mid-season?
There is only one form of racing in Australia once you move out of the junior open wheel categories and that is V8 Supercars. It is probably the best touring car championship in the world and although my preference is to stay here and work my way to F1, if I have to go home then I would hope with all my overseas experience there would be some interest in me from the V8 teams.
The two long distance races, Sandown and Bathurst, require second drivers and we would look at what opportunities were available there. One way or another I will make a career from being a professional racing driver and hopefully that will be in
F1. But we need a break right now and so many people have put in so much effort to get me where I am today, I think we deserve it. Besides, I owe my investors well over a million dollars, so I have no choice but to be successful or I will be repaying these debts for the rest of my life.
