In the end I achieved all my expectations, but obviously when you start a season off as well as I did, sometimes you can have trouble later on that causes you to finish not so high up. That can be a bit frustrating, but it’s just how it is; our first year was always meant to be about learning, and now I’m looking forward to next season. It should be quite interesting.
I’ve tested with both iSport and Campos in recent weeks – I think with the results I’ve achieved some other teams are realising my potential. I have good negotiating terms with them, and both are teams I’m talking to. Obviously Campos is a Spanish team, and we have a good connection with Santander, but we also have a good relationship with iSport and at the end of the day the sponsors have to see that my management and I understand better than they do what are the best steps to take. Campos are clearly very competitive and have a very strong technical team, so at the moment we are just seeking out what is the best move.
We expect to have a decision fairly soon. Right now we’re fully focussed on the Macau Grand Prix, so I’m not thinking about 2008 too much. My sister and manager Bianca is back in Brazil, negotiating at full steam ahead for next year and speaking to the sponsors, so I think it should all be decided within the next two to three weeks.
I think this will be my last opportunity to drive an F3 car in Macau; in my opinion the Guia circuit is the best in the world and I really love the event. For me it’s the best race in the world too, and it’s a great opportunity for me to be able to come here and compete again. I’m really motivated by my passion for the race.
There is some pressure of course. I didn’t come here to compete, I came to win, but at the same time I need to be realistic and give myself some time to learn and dial myself back into the F3 car, especially during the first day’s practice and qualifying. I’m going to just step into it slowly, and then when the time is right push hard and try to get the result.
I’ll catch you soon,
Bruno
