MODERATOR: What about here, you’ve been third on the grid here, you finished third here, you’ve been on the podium, what about this race?
JARNO TRULLI: Well, the weekend was a bit dramatic weekend at one stage. But fortunately we could overcome the problem with front suspension, and we shouldn’t have any problem for the future. Actually, the part has been redesigned, and we’ll get it soon.
But the race was also quite a dramatic race because of the accident, because so many accidents, because of the Safety Car, you know, the new rules. So many things happened. Obviously, it was a difficult race, and I think the people who won the race really deserve it. But many others got, like it or not, losing getting position on the track and probably it was the one that has lost the position has lost the result. Unfortunately with the accident with Robert, had to pit because I had a flat tire, and from then on I was laying on the back of the grid. I couldn’t do much with the Safety Car coming out every time, and it was really difficult.
MODERATOR: How affected were you by the accident? How much were you thinking about that accident?
TRULLI: The race, my race was basically spoiled there because I had to pit for an extra tire change, so obviously I dropped down in the grid. There was very little to do at that stage. But then on top of that, you know, when you are involved in an accident, you’re always concerned, especially when you see someone else’s car completely destroyed. So it was very difficult. No one had any information about Robert until the end of the race. So I was a little bit concerned. I think I guess everyone was concerned.
MODERATOR: What about this race, you’ve been on the pole position here, four times you finished fourth, twice from 20th and 22nd on the grid. So what are your chances here?
TRULLI: Well, if we look at the statistics, you know, Canada has never brought me luck, while here has always done very good race. So I just hope I can bounce back because it’s now three races I don’t score points because of bad luck. I want to make sure I have free-trouble weekend and try to do my best and try to get the best out of the car.
MODERATOR: Just as a matter of interest, are drivers told not to move if you’ve had a big accident like that, are you asked just to stay still in the car, don’t try and get out, don’t try and undo your belts? Are there specific instructions? c is the most experienced.
TRULLI: No, we don’t have any specific instruction. Obviously, as Robert say, the first thing you do is you check up yourself. You try moving around if you’re fine. It’s important in such a big accident to not move too much the neck and spine because that’s one part that can be really badly injured. But I think straight away you realize if you’re fine or not by yourself. Then it’s up to the doctor the way they extract you from the car is what’s important.
MODERATOR: But you’re not really expected to get out on your own after something like that?
TRULLI: If you can, if you feel OK, you will get out of the car by yourself. Because in a way, if you have a big pain, I don’t think you will move much. You would feel a lot of pain.
Q: Lewis, when you were out and about in New York and Washington, do you get recognized at all yet by Americans?
TRULLI: The Spanish couple was lying. (Laughter)
