Christian, this time last year you had a good race, 13th on the grid and finished sixth. What are you hoping for this time?
Christian Klien: Yeah, last year was a good race for me and also the first time I was in the points and I finished sixth so that was a fantastic race for me here in Spa and I am really looking forward to the race here. I have another opportunity to do a race for my team and I am hoping to get some points here as well.

What do you expect from the next three races, are you hoping to race or do you think this is going to be it?
CK: I already thought in Hungary that it would be my last race this year but the team believed in me and showed that I did a good job for the team so I got another two races in Turkey and Monza and now another race here in Spa so hopefully we can do again a good job, maybe get some points, it would be fantastic to stay in front of BAR. For sure it will be difficult but we will try everything. Again, for the last three races everything is open and if I do a good job here I think it is possible to do another race.

Ralf, you have a good record at this circuit, you have finished five times out of six, that seems pretty good.
Ralf Schumacher: I don't know. You know, it is a nice circuit, obviously, I have had good races, average races, and it is going to be interesting looking at the weather forecast, I think it is going to be an exciting weekend for us.

Looking back at the start of the season, are you disappointed Toyota haven't won, because you had a very good start to the season?
RS: You could look at it that way or the other way. If you look at the previous seasons I think they went pretty successful, so looking at that it is great what the team have achieved so far, so I look at it that from that side.

Jenson, you have been described as the key to the championship recently.
Jenson Button: Yeah, we didn't really show that in Monza did we! I think Monza was a very difficult circuit for us, with low downforce, for some reason the car just didn't work very well. But I think here the car should be working much better and for the next two races also. We have a new aero package in Japan so the next four races should be good and hopefully we will be getting a bit closer to these guys.

And obviously you drive your own race.
JB: Yep. What else am I supposed to do?

Well, as I said, you are the key to the championship, apparently.
JB: Well, we are not going to hold back and just let these two guys race for the championship, we are here to do the best job we can as well and I think it will spice it up a bit, hopefully, if we are quick enough.

Now, you are going to be asked this on a regular basis so get used to it! The Williams and BAR situation, have any further meetings take place on that, has there been any progress, what about the suggestion that you might take two years off?
JB: Wow. That would be interesting. I don't know what I am going to do for two years! Um, we have talked and I think that it is going in the right direction.

To your satisfaction, which means you stay at BAR?
JB: I think it is going in the right direction for both of us, you know. We both need to get this cleared up as soon as possible. We all want to get everything sorted out before the end of the year so that we can just concentrate on next season.

Fernando, since we last met you have been awarded a major sports award in Spain, can you tell us a bit about it?
Fernando Alonso: Yeah, I think the award is, for a sportsman, the biggest we have in Spain and I the name is the "Prince of Asturias" award which is my city, my region. It is presented by the King of Spain on October 21 and I won this award for the sport in 2005, representing and doing a good example for the young people around the world. I am very surprised about this and very proud, for sure.

This circuit hasn't been particularly good for Renault, in fact they have had one top six place since 1998, a third place. It was a bit the same at Monza, admittedly, but what are you expecting from this weekend?
FA: I think it will be good. Last year I was leading the race when I had an engine problem. So I think also last year the car was good here but we didn't finish, unfortunately, with an oil problem. So I think this year we are much more competitive and the podium is our target for this weekend and I am quite confident for the race. As Ralf said, I think the weather will be important this weekend but I hope to be lucky in this.

Kimi, you won last year, front row in 2002 as well, you must be feeling pretty confident?
Kimi Raikkonen: I think so. I like this circuit a lot, the car is going well, I think this circuit suits our car better than many others so it should be okay.

Anything found regarding the tyres last weekend, are you confident that will not happen again?
KR: I don't know really. I haven't spoken to the team since the race really but I think it was a one-off. I am not worried by the tyres. It was the same tyres as every other team, almost, I think, but I don't know the reason for that.
