Q: Felipe, your best result ever at the last Grand Prix, how does that affect you in terms of your spirit and your confidence?
Felipe MASSA: I think it’s very nice. It gives you more motivation to keep pushing hard, keep working a lot, so it was a good result for us as a team, not just for me in the team, but looking at the championship situation it was a great achievement. Hopefully we can carry on with the same kind of results.

Q: Ferrari were so dominant in the States but can they keep up that impetus?
FMa: For sure, we expect that Renault and McLaren will be a little bit stronger here compared to Indy. We expect that they will come back to fight really hard with us. Hopefully we can manage to stay in front. The second part of the championship will be very tough but everybody in the team is very motivated - drivers, the whole team – so I think that’s very important for us to try to be at the front.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Dan Knutson – National Speed Sport News) I’d like to ask all of you what do you think of Montoya moving to Nascar? And second question is - years from now, when you are done with Formula One would you consider racing in Nascar or Indycars or Touring Cars or another series?
FMa: Yes, I think it was a bit strange to see that, one day after the other, he changed his idea completely about racing, just changed to the US and Nascar and I have no idea how it is to race there because I have no idea of how it is to race in the US. For me it was a little bit of a surprise, but Montoya used to live there and he knows quite well racing there and maybe he likes to live there as well. So, he saw his situation in the championship and everything and maybe he took the decision. I thought it was a little bit strange, but he took the decision and maybe he can have some success there.
