I am very confident - Fisico

Giancarlo Fisichella, the Italian driver of the Mild Seven Renault F1 Team is feeling very confident for Barcelona! The Roman, who lost his temper during the qualifying session of the European Grand Prix, hopes to score more points during the race at the Circuit de Catalunya. Here follows the interview with Fisichella.

"It was a difficult race, but we had a good strategy, the team did a fantastic job during the pit-stops and I was very aggressive – which got me up to sixth position. It is still a frustrating result, but I have still scored important points for the championship, for myself and the team."

"Barcelona is a circuit we all know very well because we do so much testing there, especially in the winter. I enjoy the circuit a lot and I know the Renault will be quick there. I am very optimistic for the race weekend, and I hope it will be a bit easier than the last one!"

"Barcelona is a very tough circuit for the tyres, as we all know. The asphalt is quite abrasive and there are some high speed corners that are hard for the tyres, like the last two corners. But I know Michelin will bring good tyres for this race. They know the circuit well and they are working very hard. I am feeling very confident for Spain, we know the Michelins will be quick!"

"No, the opposite in fact! The Spanish fans are always really good with me, and give me a lot of support. Italy and Spain have similar cultures, the people there are like brothers for us I think! And it is always a big boost to see their fantastic support for the whole Renault team!"
