Interview With Blake Haswell.
So Blake, we are now into the second half of the season, your tied for the lead, have you met expectations?
Well, first of all, I'd like to point out that I am leading the championship, because of my four wins to Simon's two. But, overall, yes. The car has been good, my driving has been good, if erratic. There's a good atmosphere at the moment.
And what about Ferrari as the team, happy driving there at the moment?
Yes. It's a good place to be, at the moment. There's huge motivation to get ahead of Honda in the final part of the season.
So your on pole for today's Grand Prix, feeling any pressure to bring home the win?
There's always pressure, but being on pole is always easier, because you don't have to deal with the first corner mayhem.
Next year Simon Trendell is joining the team, how do you think he will fare?
It depends. I think Honda and Ferrari both have very different attitude towards racing, so perhaps it will be tough to adjust. That said, he's fast, and you don't lose that just because you're in a different car.
And is there any word on where your racing for next season?
No comment.
Finally any messages for the fans?
Bring lots of red flags to the race.
Thanks for joining us.
Do I get to keep this hat?
Yes sure thing Blake..
