"I got good information throughout the race from Gavin, my engineer, and I was just trying to keep my tyres cool," the iSport man revealed, "I was always lapping in the same sort of time - the chart shows that I was always within a tenth of a second - so I was very consistent. Before doing the fastest lap, I just cooled it down a bit - I actually lost maybe a second - and then I pushed very hard for one lap, and that's it. I just pushed for one lap in the entire race to get the fastest lap and, after that, the race was over."
For Viso, it would appear that the move to iSport can act as a catalyst, a trump card, to push him closer to his chosen goal of
Formula One. Having become only the eleventh winner in GP2's 27-race history, his sights remain firmly fixed on emulating countryman Johnny Cecotto, the last Venezuelan to reach the top flight, who ended the 1982 season as runner-up, by a single point, in Formula Two.
"For sure, it was important to win in front of the
F1 teams as they are looking for hungry, new, young drivers," he admitted, "Obviously, I hope to be up there in the big paddock very soon."
Like killers claiming that getting the first body out of the way makes the next one easier, Viso is happy to acknowledge that further success could come more easily, even if he insists that little has changed within himself.
"The win doesn't change anything in my confidence," he said, recoiling at the suggestion that Imola may be a tonic, "It was always very high and I know that, if I have the tools, I can win the championship. But I need the opportunity, the tools, to put everything together. The coming races are going to be at 'proper' tracks and we'll be trying to put everything together again."
