Montreal, 22nd June 2006 - Strange weather here in Montreal
at the moment. When I arrived it was beautiful sunshine, but
today Thursday, the first day of work at the track, started
with rain and this is not a good place to drive in the wet,
nor for the mechanics to work in the rain, as the circuit
facilities are quite basic. But the forecast is apparently
good for tomorrow onwards, so hopefully we won't have to worry
about that.
At the moment, I've just finished my usual Thursday meeting
with the journalists, which here in Canada we do just standing
in the paddock, as we have no real team or media motorhomes.
I'm hoping to get all our technical meetings done in time
to watch Brazil play Japan in the World Cup this evening.
Hopefully, Brazil will win. As a Brazilian tifoso, of course
I want to win, even if the team is already through to the
next stage of the competition and improving every match.
For the moment Brazil's football team are giving me something
to be happy about. Maybe we did not start off playing very
good football but I really believe in the team and reckon
it will improve with every game. At the moment, Brazil are
not in line to come up against Italy, so for the time being
I can support both teams. But the day will come when we might
come face to face.
It's too early to talk about the final, but still I am being
asked what would happen if Brazil came up against Germany,
of course I am asked that because of my team-mate's nationality!
I think it would be nice to have another match like that for
the final and hopefully, we would win again.
If you want to keep on the theme of football, we could say
that in the Formula 1 world, we are coming up to "half-time"
as after this race here in Canada, we will have completed
nine out of eighteen races. I think I have shown I have the
speed that I need, but it will be important to put together
some good results in the final half of the season.
All the journalists are asking me what I can do to help Michael
in his fight for the title.Help Michael? It's a strange question
because first of all, Michael has to help himself, because
he also needs to be in front of Alonso. I'm trying to do my
best to be in front of him as well. I am always trying hard
to win and I will continue to do all I can to try and win.
