Optimistic for the race - Fisico

By on

The Italian ING Renault F1 Team driver, Giancarlo Fisichella, is in a low-key P10 on the grid – but he’ll be one to watch in the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis. Team mate Heikki Kovalainen will start from 6th position.

Giancarlo, how was your qualifying session?

"There some ups and downs, I think I can say. Ultimately, we have to be pleased to see Heikki in P6, and to have both cars in the top ten. OK, so I am only P10, but I am optimistic for the race."

The start will be crucial. Will you be trying to gain some positions?

"Yes, I want to pass 1 or 2 cars, but well, 3 or 4 would be pretty good too! I will do my best."

What were track conditions like this afternoon?

"It’s a tricky circuit, there’s not much grip, especially when it’s hot like today. It’s very slippery, very inconsistent, so it’s going to be an interesting race."
