Question for Rube♑ns. About꧃ the next event, what do you think about it?

Rubens Barrichello:
Let me win the race and I will tell yo♛u tomorrow. It is always good to give a little bit aw⛦ay from what we have to the fans and obviously the Italian fans are one of the most important ones even though in Brazil they are excited. Let's think about that next week.

Q: (Dan Knutson - National Speed Sport News)
Rubens, your good friend🐠 Tony Kanaan is here. What do you think about winning the Indy Racing League championship in America and si🅷nce he has been here have you had the chance to hang out with him or talk with him?

RB:
Yes, because he went home to get a pass. I think Tony is one of the talents that went to America. He won the championship in a nice way. He can tur🥃n both ways, not just left, and I do hope he can get a chance to drive in Formula One, at least test a car, because I'm pretty sure when he does that he is going to show his talent and people will recognise it.

Q: (Dan Knutson)
The FIA has just announced that qualifying for next year will be one session on Saturday with light fuel, second session on Sunday with race fuel and the cars will be in parc ferme. What do you think 🌠of this system - the times will be added together from Saturday and Sunday?

RB:
Same f𝐆or everyone I guess. New things come in and you have to learn all the things again. If we can have a qualifying without the fuel that is the one prefer, because that is when the car is fastest. I guess it is just the same for everyone.

Kimi Raikkonen:
I think it would be nice to get some solution on the qualify🐽ing, because it would be much easier for the spectators to know what is going on and it is not changing every single race.

Juan Pablo Montoya:
In a way, it is nice. But in a way a lot of people are going to be confused with adding times and what is the average and things likꦜe that.

Q: (Heikki Kulta - Turun Sanomat)
For Kimi, only four times in the top-thre𓆏e, what is ✱the main reason for that?

KR:
I think since we have got the 19B, the new car, we have improved the speed and everything. We haven't had that f🅺or a long time so I think we had to do a lot with the car.

Q: (Andrea Cremonesi)
A question for Rubens but also for the other guys. Michael is not here not only beca🥀use he was penalised, but also because he was not in the top-three at the end. What do you thin𝓰k is the reason? Do you think it was the strategy of you guys or he wasn't able to set up the car right?

JPM:
I'll be honest with you. Looking at the lap he made quit🌟e a few mistakes and I think that was the problem. If you really think about if you have got a 10-place penalty and you have a fast car you probably put more fuel.

RB:
Nothing to comment.

Q: (Jose Emilio Aguiar - Extra Newspaper)
Do you think the place where ꧅Michael🐟 crashed is dangerous because of the bumps or it was just a mistake?

JPM:
I think the tyres did good actually. If t꧑hose tyres were not there he would haᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚve been against the barrier.

RB:
I think the bump for sure is not helping. Juan Pablo had one off some years ago in the wet and it was pretty similar. If you have an off you want to have it thﷺere because it is going upwards and you have the barriers which helps stopping the car. Michael was very unlucky that the car jinked to the other side and he didn't lose as much speed as he should have. There is a big bump on entry so that probably doesn't help.

Q: (Jose Emilio Aguiar)
With the new 🐷rules about tyres, aerodynamics, do you think there is going to be more overtaking?

RB:
My feeling will be only after I have tested the car and drive be🎉hind ꩲpeople. That's pretty much the only way to know.

Q: (Erica Hideshima - Jornal de Tarde)
Are you going to keep cool tomorrow. People keep as♛king you how you are going to win?

RB:
Keeping the drink in a way and to go home and have my normal life. No Caipirinhas tonigꦜht.
