| Question :
How
much did you change the car for your
third and final run? |
| M.Schumacher :
It's
true. We certainly
have done modifications
to the car. We went a little bit closer to what
Rubens was doing. He seemed to have the better solution
and I got into the run very
well, whereas in the
first two runs I did two mistakes on each,
which cost me a bit of time, naturally. But sometimes
you have to be out at
the right moment with the wind --
and the wind was gusting around a bit.
|
| Question :
In
between those runs, when you
were sitting in the garage looking
at the screen, how much can you gain from watching your
teammate's flying laps? |
| M.Schumacher:
You
can simply compare where he is faster and
where you can, maybe, pick
up some time, where you, maybe, have to
push a little bit harder. Although you think
you are on the limit, sometimes your teammate shows
you that you are not and you
have to push a bit harder. So
I did. That's why it's good to be working together.

| Question :
Michael,
a little historical fact, every time you've started
on pole for the Spanish Grand Prix you've gone on to
win the World Championship.
Any chance of the same this year?
|
| M.Schumacher :
Well,there
are so many statistics like this: if you win
the Brazilian Grand Prix, you win the championship
and if you do this and that.here… At the end
of the day, it counts what you do in the end and not
what the statistics may say. You know, I'm not
a big fan of these kind of statistics. Let's go ahead
and do a fine race.
|
| Question :
You
made a major improvement on the last run.
|
| M.Schumacher :
Yes.
They weren't the best
runs before. I made a
mistake in the first and second runs but then
the wind sort of plays quite a big effect
and we have seen it in practice and just at the right
moment it can give you a couple of tenths if you
are the wrong moment it goes the other way. And at the
last run I seemed to be at the right spot.
|
| Question :
Rubens
said perhaps you
are enjoying being pushed by him. Is that the
case?
|
| M.Schumacher :
I
have enjoyed it as well
in the past and especially as you have seen
in the first two runs he, sort of, was going
faster and you have to look
around on how to improve and that is what is the business.
I like the challenge and when he is
putting in quicker sectors, quicker corners, and
it is obviously good for me to watch that and
see where I have to improve
and where I can improve. Sometimes you think you
have done it right and you prove it
is not right so I quite enjoy it.
|
| Question :
Both
of you did just three
runs. Is it a case of just saving tyres here?
|
| M.Schumacher :
We
have traditionally done
three runs. There was
only one exception in
Imola for myself, but I think all the other qualifying
we have done three runs to my knowledge.
