In attendance:
Gabriele Tarquini (BRC Hyundai N LUKOIL Squadra Corse), first build of living, Flee 1
Frédéric Vervisch (Comtoyou Team Audi Sport), first build of living, Flee 2
Thed Björk (Cyan Performance Lynk & Co), second build of living, Flee 2
Gilles Magnus (Comtoyou Team Audi Sport), third build of living, Flee 2
Q:
Gabriele, a simply, neat start and speed for you in Flee 1, but you had tension from Mikel Azcona, didn’t you?
GT:
Yeah. The important thing of the defend shut was the start. I do know that following every other car, in particular here, is rather annoying so as rapidly as I reached the first nook I used to be alone so I would perchance turn and push as annoying as most likely on the first three or four laps. Happily I constructed a little hole and after that it was rather a straightforward speed to manipulate the outlet.
Q:
And a licensed Flee 2 with some battles down the freeway
GT:
Yeah, it was a more challenging speed. I needed to defend out of pain. I overtook a man before the entire lot because Azcona stalled and I gained a build of living after which on the first lap I will own build of living with Yann. Then Tom [Coronel] made a mistake at nook five and I will own every other build of living. So starting 10th and ending sixth is maybe the pleasant I will quiz.
Q:
Norbi [Michelisz] didn’t rep and we heard grumblings on the radio from Jean-Karl Vernay about vibrations. Attain what the concerns had been and had been you concerned on your bask in car?
GT:
No, I deem he touched one thing. I don’t know, but he was very gradual on the short corners. The splitter was completely broken and that destroyed his tyre. Potentially it was a contact. I don’t know if he touched tyres or every other car.
Q:
And a in point of fact great attach a query to: are you going to defend shut this evening or permit England to defend shut?
GT:
It’s a simply start of the Sunday. We own now Wembley and Wimbledon, because an Italian is combating with Djokovic in Wimbledon and the Italian soccer team I deem can ranking the defend shut within the European Championships. I increase them.
Q:
We’ll respect… Let’s transfer on to Flee 2 and congratulations Frédéric, the first was to receive off the freeway and back out of mischief with his Lordship to your correct… and you perchance did so. Effectively done.
FV:
Thank you very unprecedented. I for poke own to thank our team, the logo Audi, the contemporary car that Gilles proved as neatly. Congrats to him and to Thed. I’m extremely completely pleased to transform a pole build of living. From the outside it appears to be like all easy, but I will let you know there was once more a quantity of tension to own the simply start. That it is most likely you’ll own no one in front of you, so it’s constantly somewhat rather a quantity of. However the start was mega and Thed was rather fast. He educated me he had one alternative, maybe there was every other one where he would perchance for poke attempt one thing. However I deem after a few laps I simply had a little hole and I hoped that Gilles would attach some tension on him and perchance he did, I’m now not certain. Anyway, the outlet was there, so I used to be now not completely pleased with the protection car! The restart was in actual fact sinful, but it completely was at the prime simply because it was unfamiliar, I deem there was a quantity of seize-up that I didn’t behold and I deem all people was stunned.
TB:
Very sinful grip.
FV:
Yes. Anyway, we introduced it home. I used to be stunned by our speed tempo because it was a wide battle for me throughout the entire season and for us in typical. However yes, we did it, I’m very completely pleased and thanks once more to my team. They deserve it.
Q:
Thed, we know you didn’t own the tempo the Audis had been showing all weekend, so it regarded worship it was foot to the bottom via the entire aspect.
TB:
Yeah, it was. Congratulations, simply work. I do know the contrivance in which it feels to bounce back from sinful weekends from the foundation. Same for me. It feels so simply to sit down down here and ranking a second build of living, and after the first speed I belief because Fred overtook me I used to be now not in simply combating [shape]. I for poke own to fix this for the second speed, so we did a quantity of adjustments, even on the grid after the good and cozy-up lap. I used to be sitting there before the entire lot and I had a simply alternative, then my subsequent belief was yeah, but if Fred does a simply start… This might be neat anyway and that’s what you perchance did, so simply job. Then I followed and I had a quantity of tension, but akin to you mentioned it was worship this all the speed, so it was animated but spruce-relaxing.
Q:
Gilles, I anticipated you to provide Thed a more challenging speed. How was it from your perspective?
GM:
Yeah. To begin with, wide congrats to Fred, I’m for poke completely pleased for him and the team. It was for poke tricky because in speed one we had some components with the air temperature and some issues that didn’t permit us to receive shut. So I knew this trouble was there, essentially on my car and it wasn’t one thing lets resolve. So every time I used to be getting shut I had some components. Within the prime I made up my mind it was better to leave a exiguous hole at certain aspects, now not to be attacked by the Hyundai within the back of me because they own a simply straight-line velocity and once he assaults me there might be nothing I will create any longer. So I made up my mind here is the pleasant aspect to create and at some level when Thed made a exiguous mistake I would perchance want had a possibility, maybe I had to get rid of it more challenging. Anyway, that’s the contrivance in which it is. All of us know Thed is amazingly experienced and he doesn’t create a quantity of mistakes. I used to be anticipating that, but it completely didn’t for poke happen.
TB:
I used to be very dissatisfied I did that mistake!
GM:
However the tempo was for poke simply and I would perchance maintain with these two guys and within the dirty air it’s now not that straightforward. So I’m a exiguous dissatisfied I couldn’t attack him after which attempt anything else, but overall I’m for poke completely pleased, with the victory for Fred first of all and my third build of living. Two Audis on the podium is a in point of fact certain aspect after the annoying time we’ve had. Let’s attempt and back this momentum, for certain it obtained’t be easy, but let’s attempt it as a minimum and let’s back pushing.
Q:
And who create you think goes to defend shut tonight.
GM:
Acceptable attach a query to. I deem Italy.
Q:
What?
GM:
I’m sorry guys, but I…
Q:
Two for Italy? Sexy… Thed, England or Italy?
[silence]
England or Italy, Thed?
TB:
England.
Q:
Acceptable boy.
TB:
However I had to assert that…
Q:
Yes you perchance did. Fred, England or Italy?
FV:
I deem England, they’re beneath rather some tension from the Queen and the entire lot, so that they own to defend shut in every other case it’s a distress!
