What Marussia Virgin Racing is saying about Brazil
"It's a unique track: the anti-clockwise layout, the bumpy
surface and the famous Senna S make it a true test of driver skill
and a real challenge for the drivers." says John
Booth, Marussia Virgin Racing's Team Principal and Director of
Racing.
"I always look forward to the Brazilian Grand Prix. It has provided
some excellent racing in both wet and dry conditions in the last
few years. It's a unique track: the anti-clockwise layout, the
bumpy surface and the famous Senna S make it a true test of driver
skill and a real challenge for the drivers.
"This is of course the final race in what has been a tough but
eventful year for the team. We've put an awful lot in place for the
future however and whilst it's always sad to end one season, I'm
already looking forward to the next.
"Reliability has been the watchword of our 2011 campaign but,
disappointingly, we have experienced a couple of problems in the
last two races which have prevented us achieving the two car finish
that we have been consistently racking up through the year. I hope
we can reverse that situation and end 2011 on a high by getting
both cars to the finish next weekend."
"It's a really fun track to drive and I would say it's one of
the best circuits of the year in terms of the atmosphere. The
Brazilian spectators are passionate about racing and it really is
amazing to drive here." says Timo Glock, Race Driver
#24.
"I really enjoy racing at the Interlagos circuit in São Paulo. Even
though it's not a very long lap, it is one of the most demanding
challenges on the F1 calendar, with some great corners - for
example turn 6, an uphill double right hander, which is fast and
blind. The car has to be stable through the twisty middle section
as well as being quick on the straights, so a good balance will be
key.
"It's a really fun track to drive and I would say it's one of the
best circuits of the year in terms of the atmosphere. The Brazilian
spectators are passionate about racing and it really is amazing to
drive here. I can't believe it's already the last race of the
season - the year has raced by and I hope to end the season with a
positive result."
"You never know what to expect here at the Brazilian Grand Prix,
which makes it an even more exciting weekend." says
Jérôme D'Ambrosio, Race Driver #25.
"The last race of the season takes place at the fantastic track
Interlagos. The last section, the stadium, is really impressive and
great to drive, as well as the Senna S and turns 6 and 7. As with
Abu Dhabi, it's another anti-clockwise track, making it a total of
five in the season.
"The Brazilian Grand Prix is also known for its unpredictable
weather - I always remember the Qualifying session in 2009 where it
looked like it was never going to stop raining! So you never know
what to expect here, which makes it an even more exciting
weekend
