To all of you, what are your first impressions of Turkey and the circuit?
Robert Doornbos: This is my first press conference and it feels quite good. The circuit looks good. I did a walk around, as we do on every new circuit, I was quite impressed with the difference in height because on the playstation you didn't really notice that and it looks like a lot of fun. I cannot wait to go out there tomorrow.

Christian Klien: As Robert said, it is very interesting this circuit, it is completely different to other tracks, it is very much up and down and a lot of corners where you can't see the entry and I was just two laps out there on the track and I think I will have to go out for some more laps in the afternoon because it looks very difficult.

Were you walking or running or what?
CK: I went out with my bike, it is my supermoto bike, a KTM, which is always good fun.

Felipe Massa: Yeah, me too. I took his bike after, and I was really impressed. I think it is a very complete circuit, you can find everything, quick corners, slow corners, change of directions, heavy brakes and everything. I think we can see some overtaking in the race, so I think it is a fantastic circuit, just looking like that. Tomorrow we will have some better idea, but I was really impressed and I think they did a really good job.

Fernando Alonso: I think the same as everyone, quite impressed about the circuit, not only the facilities here in the paddock I think also the track is a little bit different compared to all the new circuits we have seen in the last three or four years, Bahrain or China, I think to go up and down is the most interesting thing from a driver's point of view because we really enjoy the lap, like Spa or some of the other circuits, so I am really happy to be here.

What are your feelings from a technical point of view? Is it going to be hard on tyres? Is it high downforce, low downforce?
FA: It is a little bit of all. As Felipe said, it is very complex and will be very challenging for the engineers to set up the car because there are so many different parts on the track. I think it will be a medium to high downforce, the power of the engine will be quite important as well and from a driver's point of view, the corners where you cannot see the entry because it is going down or up hill will be difficult to find the line, because it is so wide as well, so it will be interesting on Friday and Saturday morning.

Rubens Barrichello: I agree with everyone, it is a great everything. Since I came into the track I saw great facilities. It is difficult to know the circuit before we actually get to see the grip level because it is so wide you can take so many lines into the corners so it is going to be good to get to the circuit tomorrow. I walked it, I haven't done the last because it was before two when Charlie had to go in, but up to there it was quite nice.

What about the first corner?
RB: I have a feeling it is a corner where you are always going to tell yourself you can brake later and later because the braking point is still quite plane and then it starts to go down and there will be times where you will just overdo it and there are times when you will tell yourself you could have done more, so it is quite interesting because you don't see the turning point of the corner and I think there are some facilities to overtake there as well.

Obviously it is going to be dirty and slippery for the first day, isn't it?
RB: It looks grippy, in a way, but it is dirty, as a new circuit is always going to be. But it looks grippy.

Robert, I think you were at a fairly major event in Rotterdam last weekend, can you tell us a bit about it?
RD: It has been straight after my debut in Formula One with racing it is like living in a dream for the two weeks because we did two races in a row and then went straight to Rotterdam with the whole Minardi team. It was the city where I was born so it was great for the fans and friends and sponsors, and it was quite a special feeling to drive where I used to drive my scooter and now with a Formula One car with 900hp and very narrow streets and we tried to make a good show, a lot of burn-outs, so as a driver you cannot call it work anymore, just have some fun and we made a great day out of it.

A lot of people?
RD: About 300,000 they said, the whole city was blocked. It was great for me. I felt one day like Michael Jackson almost because the people were cheering and taking pictures wherever I went, so that was really good.

What about your prospects for next year?
RD: This chance at Minardi came a bit out of nowhere. We want to race, for sure. Testing is nice but you can develop yourself more as a driver when you are racing and now we have done two weekends, there are six more to go this year, try to make the best of it and for me as a driver it is more important to focus on each weekend. For sure, the management already thinks to 2006 and it will be great to be there as well, maybe with the same team or maybe with another team.
