Press Conference
GP2 Series:
Adam Congratulations on your first pole position in the GP2 series, and it’s happened here at your home track. You must be delighted.
Adam Carroll:
Oh for sure. It’s great to get the pole after the start to the season we’ve had. The car’s been getting better and better but it’s hard because you don’t get the time to go away for a few days and test, so it’s only during the races that you can try and sort the car out and get back there. I think Barcelona was good, we were quick in the race, but unfortunately we couldn’t quite get the podium in the end. I knew we were going to turn it around at some time, and I really wanted to do it here, to turn everything around and be at the front, and to be there with Lewis is even better.
GP2 Series:
The times were phenomenally close, four thousandths between the top two and less than a tenth between all three of you. Do you think that’s a reflection of how close it will be in the race tomorrow?
Adam:
I hope so. It’s a hard place to race at and we’re all very close as you say, so we can have a good battle and we’ll see what happens. I think it just goes to show how strong the championship is and how close things are to have four drivers that close around a track like this.
GP2 Series:
You’ve got these two red and white guys between you. They’ve won a few races between them this year. Do you think you can hold them off tomorrow?
Adam:
I’m going to try my best. We’ll soon find out.
GP2 Series:
Lewis, front row for you on your first time driving the full grand prix circuit here. What do you make of the track?
Lewis Hamilton:
The track is great to drive. I’d only driven the international circuit in F Renault in 2002 or something like that, so to finally get on the GP circuit is a great feeling and to be on our home circuit is even better, and to be on the front row is a great start for us.
GP2 Series:
Just a tiny fraction behind, did you know on that lap that you were that close?
