Question: Do you like Magny-Cours?
Pascal Vasselon: I do like Magny-Cours - I have to otherwise it seems not many people do! From my point of view, it’s a really good place to race because it has an anti-stress environment. There are no distractions and no extra pressures; everything is about the racing.
Question: After the city races in Monaco and Montreal, do you appreciate the contrast of Magny-Cours?
Pascal Vasselon: Personally, yes, I look forward to working somewhere with fewer distractions. Funnily enough, things seem to get done much quicker in Monaco and Montreal and the team are leaving a bit earlier than usual. That isn’t the case in Magny-Cours - I don’t know why! There is much more of a community feeling in the paddock there, which I really enjoy. Also, we are in a very French part of the season after French-speaking races in Monaco and Montreal so I have to say I appreciate that.
Question: Are you sad to hear this may well be the last Grand Prix at Magny-Cours for the foreseeable future?
Pascal Vasselon: Of course I am sad if Magny-Cours drops off the calendar, but I am especially sad because we don’t know what is happening next. It wouldn’t be so bad if we knew the race was going to Paris or wherever but at the moment it doesn’t seem like there is a clear plan.
Question: Are there any new items on the TF108 for the French Grand Prix?
Pascal Vasselon: We aim to have continuous updates of the car throughout the season. There is nothing special for this race but we do have a couple of new bits to upgrade our baseline aerodynamic configuration.
