Q. The 2007 season is underway and the team appears to have made significant progress during the winter period, what was the team s reaction to its performance in Melbourne?
Daniel Audetto: We were positively surprised! Our good, hard work completed during the winter testing, our better knowledge of the Bridgestone Potenza tyres and the addition of Anthony Davidson to the team has paid off. It goes without saying that Takuma showed a strong performance during the Australian race weekend too.
Q. How much pressure is there to repeat the performance attained in Australian Qualifying? Will you be disappointed if you only make it as far as Q2?
DA: We know that a couple of the top teams had a few problems during the Qualifying sessions in Australia, so we believe that our grid positions were not an indication of our true performance. However, we are very happy that we made it for the first time into Q2 with both drivers and then into Q3 with Takuma, but to be in the top 15 in Malaysia after Qualifying would be great.
