The greatest challenge.If I had to follow Formula One as a spectator and had to choose one race, I would have no doubt: I would go to Monte Carlo.
I reckon it is the greatest race among all the grands prix. There is so much excitement combined to that weekend; all the luxury and glory of Monte Carlo. It must be great to see the race and it is great to be able to race there. Racing itself is not that great – but as a challenge – to drive fast in a F1 car through these streets – it’s the greatest of them all. I love to take a challenge: the more challenging it is, the more I love it. I always look forward to the Monaco Grand Prix
This is a very special place for me and I will never forget my success in 2005, in a race, which I think was one of my most beautiful ones. It will be the seventh time I am going to race here and the first time with Ferrari. As usual we will have lots of work to do, but I hope I can also pass some time with my friends and family on the boat at the harbour.
It is fundamental to have a good lap and I will give it all. Until now the qualifyings did not work out as I wanted it to be, but we did a lot of work to improve the situation. It would be wonderful to win with a red car and it would be much easier if I could start from the front row.
I was in a very strong position to win the race also last year when I did not start from the front row, so everything is possible, but it would be nice to start from the pole so I can get a chance to control the race from the front.
Each time I get in the car I am learning more and more about the tyres. They are very different from the tyres I used last year. Fernando, like me, is driving for a new team and with new different tyres. From what I have read he is basically saying similar things, but you’ll have to ask him.
Last week we had really positive test at Paul Ricard and I’m feeling more comfortable with the car.
Obviously we don’t know what our competitors have done so we will see things a bit clearer only on Thursday, during the free practice sessions. Lets see then. There are four drivers competing for the top spot in the championship, but there’s no particular driver I am concentrated on. I will go to every race with the same attitude: trying to give my best and collecting as many points as possible. There is no other option for us. It is as simple as that.
After the test session in France I went back home, where I trained very hard – I feel good both mentally and physically. I’m ready for Monte Carlo.
