“We come back to Jerez after two very tough races.We have some data from Jerez because of the test we did during pre season andwith a few more kilometers, a few improvements and an evolution since that lasttest, we can surely hope for slightly better results. This circuit is not oneof my favorites but I have done relatively well here in the past.”

I expected something morefrom the first two races, we got only a few points but I am hopeful and remainoptimistic for this next race at Jerez because during the weekend in Texas weproved to be fast during all weekend. We have to work in order to reduce thegap with the front guys. The team is doing a great job!”
