Q: Jean, just coming up to the halfway stage in the championship and quite a deficit for you to catch up. How are you feeling about these two North American races?
JT: We know it’s very important for us because since quite a while, we no longer have the joker in the hand, so we need to do well and we will try to do well. Saying that, other than trying very hard as we do, together with Bridgestone, we cannot predict what will happen. Here we have two circuits coming where efficiency is important. Among the qualities of our package this year is efficiency. Bridgestone made a very good step forward since last year so we should be competitive. How competitive? Time will tell over the weekend. It’s too early at the moment.

QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR

Q: (Dan Knutson – National Speedsport News) Bernie Ecclestone is quoted in The Times as saying F1 doesn’t need America. What do you guys all think of having an American Grand Prix?
JT: We like racing in the US. Just to recall that Ferrari has its biggest market in the US – one third of our cars are sold in this country so for the visibility of Ferrari and of Formula One we think it’s important to do this race.

Q: (Rodrigo Franca – Racing) How does the World Cup affect the routines of your teams. Yesterday we saw Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa try to find a cable TV to try to watch the Brazil match. How does that affect the teams? Is it good or bad?
JT: I would say it’s okay. You know, France is playing and I am sitting here. It is the same for everybody.
