Brazilian GP - Domenicali: "Nothing new under the Sao Paolo sun"
The first day of the Brazilian Grand Prix followed the now traditional script, with the Red Bulls apparently extremely fast, the McLarens very competitive and Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro on the pace, especially over a long run. Two problems, one for each driver, delayed the programme for both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. This morning the engine on car number 8 broke a few minutes before the end of the session, just ahead of its planned life, given that it was due to be “pensioned off” during the lunch break. In the afternoon, an electrical problem with the neutral finder, disengaged the clutch which meant Felipe had to park the car when he had just begun his first run on the soft tyres. “I would say there is nothing new under the sun, even here in Brazil,” said Stefano Domenicali. “The pecking order seems to be the one we have seen throughout this part of the season, with Red Bull definitely having a slight edge, especially on the first lap. However, tomorrow the forecast is for rain, therefore qualifying will be even more difficult and factors other than the pure pace of the vehicle and the driver’s performance will also come into consideration. More than ever, it will be important to keep a cool head and concentrate, in order to manage the various situations that could arise as well as possible.”
