Jos: 'It went reasonably well'

Published on 04 November 2005 by Thorsten Hendriks

Jos is happy with the achievements in the free practices today on the circuit of Eastern Creek in Australia. "I've have to admit that it went well, we can't be not happy with being fourth. The teams are are very close together. We have to do something about the grip of the car, the track is quite slippery. If we could improve the mechanical grip -especially at the rear- then we might be able to make further progress."

"This circuit is fun, on some point I had all my wheels off the ground! Especially the first corner, full throttle and in the middle of the corner we have lift-off while going at a speed of 260KPH!" Not everyone liked this as the Chinese and Pakistani driver both went off track."
