Heikki kszl a 100. nagydjra..
Heikki Kovalainen: "Hockenheim kvetkezik, 100. versenyhtvgm. Ez egy j mrfldk s rlk, hogy egy nagyon j csapatnl nnepelhetek s sok bartom van a paddockban is.
Egy olyan plyn versenyznk, amely alacsonyabb leszorterej, mint Silverstone, de a kr nagy rszt teljes gzon lehet teljesteni. Korbban az egyik leghosszabb padlgzas rsz volt itt megtallhat, de mita talaktottk, egy olyan autra van szksg, amely a lass kanyarokbl j kigyorstssal rendelkezik s j cscssebessggel rendelkezik a hatos kanyar eltti elzshez.
Az egyik f clunk, hogy a lehet legtbb idt tltsk a plyn, szeretnnk folytatni a silverstone-i fejlesztsekkel vgzett munkt. Nem tudtunk kihozni eddig belle annyit, amennyit remltnk, fleg azrt, mert keveset mehettnk szraz plyn, remlhetleg azonban Nmetorszgban szraz pnteki nap lesz, gy dolgozhatunk a belltsokon s tbb sebessget tudunk kihozni az autbl.
Brmilyen idjrs is lesz, a versenyhtvge jnak grkezik. A nmet rajongk ugyanolyan szenvedlyesek, mint brhol a vilgon, a hangulat mindig nagyszer. Emlkszem, amikor a McLarennl versenyeztem s a Mercedes lelt eltt elhaladva a rajongk olyan tblt tartottak, melyen az n nevem llt - ez egszen nagyszer s habr az idei vben ms piltkrt szortanak, n mindig meleg fogadtatst kapok."//
"Next up it's Hockenheim which will be my hundredth Grand Prix weekend. That's a good milestone to reach and I'm pleased I'll be able to celebrate it with a really good team of people, and a lot of friends in the paddock. On track we're back to a track that is more of a low speed circuit compared to Silverstone, but one that still has quite a lot of the lap on full throttle. It used to have one of the longest flat out sections of all F1 tracks but since that was taken out of the lap you need a car that has a balance between good traction for the low speed corners and good top speed to take advantage of the overtaking opportunities into turn six. One of the main objectives for us will be to have as much track time as we can to keep working on the upgrades we brought to Silverstone. We definitely didn't get as much out of them as we had hoped, mainly due to the lack of dry running we had, so hopefully we'll be able to have a dry Friday so we can work through the setup options and unlock more of the speed we know is there.Whatever happens with the weather the race weekend will definitely be good. The German fans are about as passionate as anywhere we go in the world and there's always a great atmosphere around the whole place. I remember when I was at Mclaren, going past the Mercedes stand and seeing all the fans holding up boards with my name on - that's pretty cool and even though this year it'll be other drivers' names they're holding up I'm always given a really warm welcome."
