Patrick
F.: “We have learned our lessons and done our homeworks quite well. our team
should be competitive at sao paolo!”
Just
ten days to go.
The
new season will start at Brazil and all the F3000-teams came to Silverstone for
some last tuning sessions.
Wednesday’s
afternoon session was the fastest one – and Tomas Enge set the pace with an
amazing 1min34,40, more than six tenth of a second ahead of his team-mate Björn
Wirdheim.
Red
Bull Junior Team and Silverstone – this wasn’t a really love story in the
year 2001.
But
today’s afternoon session brought especially Patrick Friesacher into a fine
fifth position.
Patrick
F.: “Enge was incredible, but the rest of the field was very close. Our team
will come with a fine feeling of self-confidence to Brazil, ready for a
competitive start at Sao Paolo. We learned a lot out of all the testing
sessions. I think that the championship will be much closer with five or six
pilots going for the title. Hopefully, we are two of the favourite drivers. I am
very optimistic for 2002!”
Even Ricardo Mauricio will come in good shape to his home grand prix – after a disappointing final test session at Silverstone. “Nothing did work, new tyres, old tyres. So, forget Silverstone!”
