Q: Have you got more bits coming here?
JB: A few little things. We have got a few tweaks here which should make a bit of time. Also this is a circuit which I think will suit our car a little bit more than Barcelona which is very bumpy and I think that ride quality is an area where we are lacking. We have got a few tweaks on that side and it is a smoother circuit, so I will be looking for a good performance in qualifying and then we will see. If everyone finishes it is very difficult to score points because you have got six very fast cars and you are fighting over two points but we will aim for points for sure.
Q: What about the lack of traction control here? How much of a difference is that going to make?
JB: On this circuit in some places it’s not going to be an issue at all because you have got a lot of positive camber which helps you through the corner. There will be other places where it will be difficult. The last three corners are very slow, so it is going to be interesting there. But also the temperatures aren’t high here, so we are not going to be overheating the tyres or causing problems to the rear tyres in that way. But because it is a low temperature we might have issues with the graining on the softer tyre. We will have to wait and see.
Q: It is a milestone for your team-mate Rubens Barrichello this weekend and he will no doubt be out celebrating.
JB: It’s 257 races this weekend, I’ve been told.
Q: It is!
JB: That’s fantastic. And he doesn’t look a day over 37!
Q: Is he showing any signs of slowing down in his old age?
JB: No, he has been on it this year. He has been doing a very good job. It is good to have a competitive team-mate and a very experienced team-mate as he is. We have got a very good team and a very good team atmosphere and he is good to have alongside.
Q: Robert, obviously you made your debut here in 2006. Fifth on the grid and eighth last year and this year, having said that, your positions so far this year have been second, third and fourth of the races you’ve finished. How do you feel things are going at the moment?
Robert KUBICA: I mean Turkey is not really a favourite track for me and not the one where I have been lucky. In 2006 in my second race in F1 we had some problems with the tyres, last year I started pretty well but then faced some graining problems. I am looking forward as this year’s car is a bit easier for me to drive and I am performing better, so I hope to turn it a different way on this track and hope to be competitive.
Q: Qualifying, however, is still good. It is just in the races that the positions are going down this year.
RK: I think it depends where you look and how much fuel you get. In Australia I was first row but unfortunately I could not finish the race due to the accident with Nakajima. In Malaysia I started with a heavy car and improved my position. Okay, in Bahrain it was difficult to face Ferrari and in Barcelona we were very close with McLaren, so we knew we had to stay in front of them after the first lap. We didn’t manage with Lewis Hamilton but still the race pace I think was very strong.
Q: Heikki, good to see you and glad that you have passed the test this morning. Can you give us some idea of what you had to do?
Heikki KOVALAINEN: It’s basically a test all the drivers have to go through when they start their career in F1. When I started last year in Australia I did the base line test. It is a combination of tests and calculations. Basically they check how your brain and body is working and the reactions. I redid the test this morning and improved the score, so the impact seems to have a good effect.
