Fisichella’s performance in Japan is certainly a notch below that of his teammate Kovalainen, but this Japanese race will remain a good memory for the Italian driver.<\/p>\n
He must now continue his efforts to strengthen his 8th place in the drivers’ championship and thus keep his competitors at a sufficient distance.<\/p>\n
In any case, Fisichella has demonstrated that in difficult conditions he can make a difference, and this could happen once again this weekend in China as a last-minute guest (the rain) might make an appearance…<\/p>\n
Giancarlo, the Japanese Grand Prix was held in extreme track conditions, conditions that you generally enjoy…<\/b><\/p>\n
“Yes, I’ve always been comfortable in the rain. In Japan, we weren’t set up to handle such conditions; the car was constantly aquaplaning. I fought a lot with my car but still managed to climb up to fifth place after what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging races of my career!”<\/p>\n
“These are big points and a very important team result, especially since Heikki made it to the podium!”<\/p>\n
Is China a Grand Prix that you enjoy?<\/b><\/p>\n
“Yes, very. It’s a very interesting circuit for the drivers and I think it is very demanding for the engineers who have to meet different challenges to fine-tune the car, but we will have time to work well during the three hours of practice on Friday.”<\/p>\n
What are the elements you will need to work on to develop your car?<\/b><\/p>\n
“This circuit features long straights, high-speed corners, but also some slow turns.”<\/p>\n
“It will once again be a matter of compromise, and we will have to strive to find the ideal balance between a stable car in the corners, therefore aerodynamically loaded, and a good top speed to be able to defend our position or overtake on the straight… This will be our goal from the first runs and throughout the weekend!”<\/p>\n
