Q&A: Rob Wickens, John Edwards and Forsythe - Pt.2

Thursday, 21st December 2006

As the Champ Car Atlantic series continues to grow, Forsythe Racing became one of the first teams to confirms its line-up for 2007, having signed rising North American stars Robert Wickens and John Edwards to drive a brace of Red Bull-backed Swifts.

JE:
I've been living in Europe for two years. When I first moved over, my mom went with me. She was kind of back and forth. I was alone most of the time. Then, this year, I was pretty much living alone. Although I did live with my team-mates, a couple of mechanics. But my parents were normally not there. I think it's going to be easier next year because I'll be living at home, just travelling to the races.

RW:
For me, obviously I've lived at home pretty much all my life except for when I'm in hotels. But, so far, honestly I don't feel a difference from my parents being at the track or when they're not at the track because my parents, they always just give me my space. On race day, I almost wouldn't see them at all because we're always so busy looking at data, trying to find out how to get quicker. When my parents are there, I don't even know they're there. I haven't really noticed a difference. I am moving to Indianapolis fairly soon, in the New Year. That will be great for me. I'll be able to be at the shop, train as much as I can to try to make myself the best driver I can for 2007.

MC:
Again, echoing the comments earlier in the call, you both certainly display a level of maturity well beyond your ages. We're looking forward to see what you can do in the New Year. Thank you all for joining us on the call today.
