Post-race press conference - Barcelona (1) Pt.1.

Saturday, 13th May 2006

Drivers: Alex Premat (ART), Lewis Hamilton (ART) 4th Nelson Piquet Jr (Piquet Sports)


Nelson Piquet Jr:
I think it was a bad contact between the button and the limiter; maybe it was dirty or something but it didn't work, and I could feel that it wasn't on and I tried to slow up, and I was only two kilometres over the speed and then I got the news from the team. But I think today proves that the car was quick enough: I ended up only eleven seconds behind Alex, and with the drive through we lose more than twenty seconds, so I think we could have won the race easily. It's a pity because I had a problem in the Nurburgring and it was hard to see but I was really quick there as well, and for sure I would have been competitive like Lewis, but still I think I was lucky today because there were a few incidents happening in front of me to Pla with his problem and Piccione crashing, so I was fortunate because at the end I had a bit of a problem too. So I feel very lucky and fortunate, and now I just need to start to get lucky again: I think the car has been good the whole way, and I just need to get lucky now and have no problems. The team has been doing a perfect job, and we just need a bit more luck for the championship.

GP2 Series:
From your experience today of having to fight back what do you think you can do tomorrow, considering how tricky it is to overtake here?

Nelson:
It is quite tricky but getting Lopez was easier than I thought: I don't know if he had a problem or not, but I think tomorrow I just need to have a good start and get as many positions as I can, and then we'll see what happens. We'll try to do as well as we can, and I hope to get a podium.
