But on Friday and Saturday, I had no problems whatsoever. It was fantastic in there. Of course, I would chose not to run it (HANS) if I could because I feel that I can drive better because I feel I can move better inside the car. But come Sunday, the start of the race, and I'm on the grid and something was happening and all of a sudden, I lost the air (out of the air bag). I thought that the carbon fibre was really hitting the collarbone so I don't know how I would have finished the race. As I said this morning, I'm aware that it's something we should use because it's safer but until someone is happy with it, I figure you shouldn't oblige someone to run with something that is so uncomfortable. So I hope that my problems have been finished, because there is another time for me to test it, so hopefully it's going to be fine, but until then, I really wouldn't use something that is hurting. I wouldn't oblige someone to use it.

Q: Rubens, back to you. You mentioned this morning that the team has probably made a lot of changes in terms of strategy since the last race. Can you give some idea of the sort of changes that will have been made?
RB: I haven't been too specific about it. It's something that I think everyone learned from the first race, but what I was saying was that, as I heard in Brazil, nobody knows if the (Melbourne) race was good because of the new rules or because of the safety car coming out twice and the rain. We have to learn from it. Obviously it was the first race, the first experience, but I don't know actually if the race was good for one reason or another.

Q: So too much technology in F1?
RB: I agree with Juan Pablo. You can't be happy inside yourself, inside your mind, because that's what the sport is there for. I have seven years of racing cars that were not capable of winning races but I kept my determination to get a good car. Is that a sport or not? It's what you have inside, what you believe. Of course, you would like to see Formula One with more overtaking, more show, more something, but people are trying to do that and I don't know if you're ever going to see, for example, the amount of overtaking in a CART race. Why is that? You don't know. Maybe because they use a safety car, because they use something more. Formula One is the top quality, it's the one that everyone dreams of having so what is important is what you believe in.

Q: In what way can the war that started this morning affect F1?
RB: Like I said this morning to some people, I think we are aware that something bad is going on. We all wish it wasn't happening. But I think ... our lives ... we have to get on with it and keep on doing the things we love to do the most. If we can attract some people to come to the track to watch the race and to take their minds away a little bit off the war then we're already doing good. Hopefully, the war is going to finish some time, I hope sooner than later. It's just that we have to keep doing things to take people's attention away from it.

Q: It's for Rubens, about the new car. As I understand it, there's only one of them. Have you driven it yet? It's crashed twice which sounds worrying. Can you give us an update on the recent one that crashed and can you tell us just how badly hurt Luca Badoer was in the last one and tell me whether or not he will be the third Ferrari driver here?
RB: Well, I think Luca is fine now but they will give him a little bit of a rest so Felipe is here in his place. To be honest with you, I don't know whether he's the third driver. He should be because he's here anyway. But Luca is fine, he's going to be driving again on Tuesday at Barcelona. All four drivers will have a drive in the new car in Barcelona during the four days there. I think, as far as I'm concerned, they had a problem in Mugello with the left front corner but they have solved the problem, so it wasn't a big deal, it was pretty much a coincidence that in two weeks they have an accident.
