Ред Бул за Мексико
Даниел Рикардо:
OK Daniel on to Mexcio, by virtue of a show car run a couple of months ago, you’re one of the few drivers able to tell us what the new Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is like. Go ahead...
Well, I’ve only driven around the parts of the track that were finished in July, so I’m not the authority on it! The very long main straight reminded me a little of Monza. And there are some flowing parts of the track which look quite interesting... but you can never tell until you drive a new circuit properly. It could go either way. I hope it’s fun!
And how about Mexico City. Did you get to sample some of that?
I did, and it was very cool. I love the food – I say that a lot don’t I? – and I love the passion of the people. It was quite a moment when we saw how many had turned up to watch us back in the summer, it really makes you do a double-take. I’m looking forward to spending more time there just so I can experience a bit more of the culture.
And finally, the big question that’s dividing the paddock: back to Europe after Mexico or staying out to muck around in the Americas?
Stay out. I’m keeping my options open though. Thinking about maybe Miami because I’ve never been – and then there’s the Texas 500 the following weekend. Might go up to Fort Worth to watch me some NASCAR!
Даниил Квят:
Mexico City is unknown territory for everyone in F1. Is the prospect of racing in a new venue something you enjoy?
Definitely. It’s always nice to visit a new place and to race at a new track. Mexico should be no different. The city looks nice – interesting culture and the food should be very good too.
What are you expecting from the circuit?
It’s hard to say. On paper it looks interesting. It looks like there are some good high-speed corners and the Esses section looks like it might be quite exciting. It obviously has a lot of history and they seem to have kept the old-school feel of it, which is good.
Judging by the show car run the team did in June in Mexico City it looks like the atmosphere will be tremendous. Looking forward to some Latin mayhem?
I think Mexico has a pretty big heritage with Formula One and it seems like it’s one of those places that is really passionate about the sport, maybe a bit like Brazil. It should be a good weekend.
