It was bizarre because I normally run really well there - I love the track, finished second there in Atlantics and was sixth, right behind Oriol Servia, with four laps to go last year. Then we were a couple of tenths off Bruno in the test but, when we got to the race, it was minus four seconds and that wasn't just down to me. We tried to sort it out, but really didn't get to the bottom of it, and had to use the race as a test session to figure out what was going on. Ultimately, the car caught fire in a pit-stop and, in a way, that was the best thing that could have happened to it, because it meant we had to start from scratch again.
I try to not let things affect my confidence and the belief that I have in myself, but this has got everyone down. The thing now is to keep positive, keep upbeat and keep confident, because I know, deep down, that it is nothing to do with me. Of course, you're wondering about other people, wondering if they're thinking it
is down to me. I really hope that that's not the case, and I know that the majority of people aren't thinking that way - but maybe that's a little bit of ego talking as well.
Fortunately, it's not hard for me to keep the crew's morale high as I have a great bunch of guys. They work so hard - we're so under-staffed that they do the work of two people each - but they're really up for it. If they didn't love it, they wouldn't be here doing it right now, so I'm really fortunate that my crew are so awesome.
There's been something of a technical reshuffle within the team recently, because we knew that we needed to bring in some more help. Dale has said that he was looking at doing that from the beginning of the year and, when things weren't panning out as we had hoped, we had a little reshuffle to see if that could answer the questions that we had, flush out what the problem was and pinpoint exactly how to move forward.
