Viso's master card.

Wednesday, 3rd May 2006

After a trying season in 2005, things appear to slowly be coming good for Ernesto Viso, the diminutive Venezuelan determined to make it big in GP2.

"Sunday's race was a very good race," Viso smiled at the still recent memory, "I started third but, into the braking area for the first corner, I lost a position to Lapierre. However, into the braking area for the second chicane, I got it back by going a bit deeper than him on the brakes and that set the tone.

"I quickly caught Glock and Yoshimoto, but had to wait three or four laps because there was a safety car. When that disappeared, I was able to pass Glock on the exit of Tosa and under braking for Piratella - it was an awesome overtaking as I did it on the outside. Then I overtook Yoshimoto on the outside at the first corner, which was good as well.

"It was a tough race though, as, after I had passed the two BCN cars, I had Piquet trying to put pressure on me. He was good, but I just tried to keep my tyres cool and keep the car in good condition and fight for the fastest lap. I was very happy with the car, and the guys did a very good job."

Despite the delicious irony surrounding the two cars he had to pass for victory, Viso refused to belittle his former employer, despite Glock going on to be something of a bottleneck for those hoping to follow the Venezuelan through.

"I don't want to say if my car was better or worse than the BCN cars, I was just happy with mine," he insisted, "I think that, between us, the team and I are really developing our car. We're both putting in our part, both doing the job, and it's not about whether we were better or worse than the BCN cars. I just got on very well with the car, which suits me very well, and I think that made the difference."

Viso and Piquet turned out to be in a class of their own on Sunday, he Brazilian chasing his South American rival for all he was worth, without really being able to make inroads.
