We knew we had a great group of guys, and we were really fast straight off, actually straight off in St Pete, as you know, we had that first pole and looked really strong. It's not always been smooth, but we always had that speed, so it's very comfortable. When you know you've got the speed, you know at some point it's going to pay off. And I think that all along was what really made it a little easier because even when it was tough and wouldn't just kind of materialise, we knew we had the speed and we knew it was going to happen at some point.
So it was pretty reassuring, and we just had an awesome time that everybody knows about, but maybe people don't know as much about the doubts and when it wasn't going as well. I think it's also racing, and you don't always know how it's going to be. As far as I'm concerned, it was definitely a great thing, and I'm certainly not going to forget about it anytime soon.
Q:
Will you take some time and celebrate this one, or with the new challenge and new opportunity so close at hand in
F1, are you just sort of anxious to get right on to that as soon as possible?
SB:
Well, obviously we have one more race to go, so I'm not going to turn the last page of Champ Car before it's done and over. I think we'll have a nice celebration coming, and we've got the banquet and everything. Obviously, I've got the first testing in F1 right after Mexico City. But these guys, for a lot of them, they're really close friends and everything, so I think we'll still stay in touch and, in many ways, just because I'm going to move onto another challenge, I'm going to forget and just reject everything. Not at all; it's going to be something that will stay a part of me forever.
Q:
I'm curious to find out what you think your legacy will be and just kind of how you want people to remember your Champ Car career and your four championships.
SB:
I kind of missed the beginning of the question.
Q:
I just said, what do you think your legacy will be in Champ Car? And then the second part is just how do you want people to look back on your four championships and your Champ Car career?
SB:
Well, I don't know if I have any influence over what people are going to remember or keep in memories over what I have done. All I hope is that people remember that we went after it and we gave it our very best, and we haven't won these four championships just kind of waiting for the points to accumulate and just being inconsistent. We obviously tried to put on the best show we could, and we had a lot of fun doing it.
