OFTHEDALLARA'SSTRENGHTS»
For the first time in your career, you
drove a Dallara car for a full season.
Did it suit youwell?
«Yes, very well. From a technical
standpoint, the debut has been very
positive. There hasn't been one single
structural problem during the year, so I
can say I'mmore than satisfied».
What is the strongest point of this car?
«In F.3 there is a lot of downforce. Coming
from a car like the Abarth, it is amassive
step with this Dallara-built product. The
first hurdle is the aero downforce, who the
drivers have to learn how to control it to
understand how a true racecar works».
What do you think there is to improve?
«At the moment my experience is not
enough to judge this aspect. I think the
current project is very good».
Have you ever visited the headquarters
in Varano?
«I haven't had this opportunity but I hope
to be there very soon».
How do drivers feel the presence of a
carmanufacturer once they are on-
track?
«There is always a company representative
at the track and this is very important for
the teams in terms of the assistance and
the spare parts. In addition to that, inmy
first season I had the chance to establish a
good relationship with them, so we were
able to exchange views and opinions on
the car. It's been really helpful inmy
learning experience».
