Again I want to have a good race - Yamamoto
Fresh from scoring its first-ever World Championship point in last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, the Etihad Aldar Spyker Formula One Team moves to Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend. Sakon Yamamoto aims for another good result at Shanghai.
"It was a very tough race for me as the conditions were very difficult in the wet and visibility was bad, but I was really pleased at the end to get the best finish of my career. It was a really amazing feeling. The reaction from the fans was very good too."
You've now finished in four of the five races for Spyker, 80% of your starts: a good statistic. Do you feel more comfortable with the team and the car?"Yes, I am very happy with the team and the new B-spec car. The team is very easy to work with and the new car is much improved over the A-spec. Every time we go to a new circuit we see an improvement and I can't wait to drive the car again in China. Now we have got 12th place in the last race I want to do even better and get a higher finish in the last two races."
This will be your second Chinese Grand Prix. What do you remember of the 2006 event?"The race last year was the first time I had finished a race in F1. It was a busy race though as there was heavy rain that then dried so it was difficult to get the calls right. I had to stop several times to change tyres and one time we changed to dry tyres too early so I then had to stop again! It was a complicated race, but I liked the track. It's completely different to other circuits, some corners are difficult to get right, but I do enjoy driving here."
What will your aims be for this race?"Again I want to have a good race. We had a good result in Japan, but now I want to be even stronger going into the last two events of the year in China and Brazil."
