China in Your Hand
It’s time for the third Grand Prix of the season.
After the rainy race in Malaysia first I dried myself, did some pr-work
in Beirut, went to Enstone factory to have a look on some new things
for the car, then I trained properly at home and finally went to see
some spectacular action of motocross world championship fight in
Holland.
It was a good break, all in all. We are ready to race. I feel
fresh and look forward to get with the grips in those very fast long
straights and tricky slow-speed corners of Shanghai circuit.
The car should now be even better. We have some interesting
new parts and they should give us more speed to challenge the top guys
again. But we have to wait to see, how the track suits for our car. So
far there has been no problems at all in all the circuits we have
driven it.
Previously China has usually been a good place for me. Since
the very beginning at Shanghai circuit we have had the speed to fight
for the podium places. Our win five years ago in China was the turning
point for the championship fight back then.
Let’s hope we have finally a normal weekend without any
unnecessary problems. I have a good feeling with the car so far.
Obviously, we expect the E20 going well in Shanghai. We will know more,
where we are the after the first few laps in the circuit on Friday
practise.
Like always my aim is to score good points – and, if possible,
to challenge for the top positions. It was very close in Malaysia
qualifying, while the gap was so small with all the top cars. The
fastest lap on the race was a very positive sign, too.
But you never know beforehand how the weekend goes. China,
especially, is one of those places, where the weather factor can very
quickly change everything.
You’re going to be in trouble, if you don’t watch out all the
time with the weather. The forecast tells us, there will be the typical
showers during the weekend, so most likely it’s going to be a matter to
get everything right with perfect timings to get out with the good
results.
It’s China in our hands, for sure...
