They are a good, motivated bunch of guys and we are obviously going to bring a new form and strengthen that team, and it is just that - strengthening the team.
As Keith already mentioned before, we both have the same goal, which is to get up there and to win races. And if we can't win them, to get damn close in trying to win them. I don't actually see too many conflicts and, if I did think that, then the chances are that we would not have got into this deal in the first place. I don't see it as Keith working for me, I see it as us working together and there's a monumental difference there.
KW:
Obviously, Paul has other things he's working on as well. We all know that other people have tried it. But you can't live in a different country when you need someone. So I think our goals, the day-to-day will continue and I will continue to do all of the same things that I've done and still continue to work with Cedric on the other programmes and with the drivers we've got. There's no real overlap. It's really filling a void that we needed which was, as Paul said, to develop the business and the resource side.
Q:
Paul, when you were in
F1, it was sort of part of necessity, but you had quite a history of bringing drivers into the series. [Over here], there is a series called the Atlantic series, is there any sort of possibility you might end up with Minardi there as well?
PS:
At the moment, the answer is no, because there is not a lot of time, as has been previously mentioned. We take delivery of the new car on Wednesday and the first tests are in January. So there's not enough time now to think seriously about Atlantics. But it does seem to be a tremendous formula. It certainly produces awfully good people and I do think it's something we could be looking at seriously in the future - but not for '07.
Q:
I guess you saw the Atlantic this year and the new car and the new format and everything else and the new cars coming in next year, so can you talk a little bit about how you feel things are going to work out next year with Champ Car with the new car, the new rules and all of the like?
PS:
Well, I think we've got some exciting new races as well. I think that race in Vegas is going to be memorable to say the least. I was privileged enough to go around the circuit on Tuesday last, and I think it's going to be absolutely fantastic.
