Q&A: Ross Brawn.

Ferrari Technical Director Ross Brawn talks about the Italian Grand Prix, Juan Pablo Montoya and a lot more:

Q: What did you make of the weekend? Was it good or bad?

Ross Brawn: Under the circumstances it has been a good weekend. Rubens did a very good race, the whole race was very exciting.

Q: We have not seen the true Michael Schumacher this weekend. Any comments?

RB: It was difficult for him, he could not get past (Juan Pablo) Montoya in the beginning. He is a very sensitive person. He was seemingly upset by the events of this week.

Q: Tell us something about the race.

RB: It was a very difficult weekend. It was a very good and exciting race. It was a shame that Rubens (Barrichello) had the problem with the fuel rig in the first pit stop, otherwise he would have been in a very good position. If you think of Hockenheim, we struggled there with Williams and they won the race. We thought that it would be difficult to beat Williams and that is what happened.

Q: What do you think of Montoya?

RB: He is very good driver. He was good during the whole weekend and had a fantastic result.

Q: What happened at the pit stop? We saw you changed the nozzle.

RB: We had a problem with the rig. We were ready to go and the lights did not come on properly, so we had to change the rig. That was a shame.

Q: Do you think it was a good decision in the end to have a normal start instead of not overtaking in the first two corners?

RB: In the end nothing happened, there were no accidents and I think the drivers were very sensible and everyone was aware of it. I don't think anyone tried to be a hero, so it went quite well.
