Q: Rubens, obviously the old car is going well but are you expecting the new car at the next race?
RB: It depends pretty much on testing next week. Last week we were testing in Italy and unfortunately it was wet so we delayed everything a little bit. Performance-wise I think the car is fantastic but we had small problems so we thought it was better just to delay it a little bit, but I hope that it's just going to be for this weekend.

Q: Was retiring from the lead in Brazil a massive disappointment?
RB: Obviously, if you want to win somewhere, you want to win at home. It would have been a fantastic feeling but as I said I have many more chances in the future and hopefully I will win, eventually, with some luck and some determination I will eventually win the race there.

Questions from the floor

Q. Was today's time a question of pride as well as performance especially in front of Ferrari's fans?
RB: Here will be a fantastic feeling to win in front of all the fans especially because people think were are in a bit of a crisis, which is not true. We feel competitive and we are with a competitive car. The 2002 car is fantastic but the 2003 car is even better. I've got more points than I had this time last year, Michael has been a bit unfortunate and therefore he doesn't have the same points as he had last year. It will still be fantastic season, although I have the special feeling of Monza already last year but Imola is Ferrari's home.

Q. I know it is not polite to speak about people who are not here, but Rubens, what are you feelings on Michael Schumacher? What if he gets another unfortunate result here? What would be his reaction for the rest of the season, would he get any more aggressive?
RB: Would he get any more aggressive? Maybe the question is for him. He is not down because of it, he is working well and what I can say is that we can't see into the future. We have to see the results. We are of course trying to get the best results for Ferrari as possible.

Q. All you guys have made it clear you would like a wet tyre on a wet track. I think Ron (Dennis) brought up the question of having a spec tyre, where it has a particular tread depth. We put that question to Max yesterday and he said he can only give out the passive safety. What do you guys think?
RB: You say that tyre manufacturers have one tyre, but people forget that you have a set-up on the car. Mine was set up for the dry and people seem to think there is a tyre problem, but there is no tyre problem. When the track is drying out it is much more difficult because you have a line which is dry and on tyre you have wet. If you go onto the track where it is wet you are going to crash. I'm concerned about safety. It would be a bit more of a cost but we are talking about safety. We do so many things for the car, the HANS device, but we only have one tyre for the wet.

Q. I want to come back to the tyre question. Yesterday Mr Mosley said the teams asked for change, what do you think?
RB: My view on top of that, as far as I am concerned it was not everybody who agreed to that. It wasn't 100 percent.
