Wada-san, what was the thinking behind taking the controlling interest in BAR?
Yasuhiro Wada: As you know we already have a 45-percent holding in the team and also the tobacco situation, BAT have to leave sooner or later, and we have been discussing the situation and we thought the team's stability was very important and sooner or later we would. To me zero to 45 is a big difference, but 45 to 100 is not that much!

Also can you tell us more about this potential second team, everyone wants to know about it?
YW: I wish I could tell more but this is an independent team already doing some racing activities and they are keen to enter Formula One. We agree with what they are aiming for and their objectives we have finally decided to do the full support, maybe not just engine supply but on top of that the technical assistance.

When do you think we will know more about that?
YW: I think we will have to wait for the team to announce. Our part is already said, I think they are finalising all the details so it is hopefully going to be happening soon.

Owning BAR means you are already putting a lot of money into the team, but are you not worried that it might become a big spending war with your compatriots here?
YW: We are not expecting to spend that much. I think we will spend a reasonable amount of money to make the team stronger but nothing more than that.

We, Tomita-san, you have already said you are going to spend more money on a second wind tunnel. Are you worried it is going to become a spending war with your compatriots?
Tsutomo Tomita: We decided to expand the wind tunnel to a second, but it is not so expensive. And, you know, two wind tunnels in the top level teams I find that quite reasonable. Additionally, we are thinking of a long-term project, not only for the motorsport but the road car development.

But are you worried about it becoming a spending war?
TT: Yes, and we have to always be careful about spending too much money in Formula One.

What about Bridgestone? It hasn't been announced that you will be moving to Bridgestone, but Michelin seems to have announced it. What is the situation?
TT: We basically give our thanks and appreciation to the Michelin team over the three years because their tyre is getting better and better performance, but it is a good time to re-consider about the contracts and I am very sure the Bridgestone tyre will be very nice for us.

Well, if you haven't got Michelins it will be very nice. What about the Jordan situation? That was done a year ago this weekend, what about for next year? How many years does that continue?
TT: We make annual contracts with them and nobody knows about the year after.

And have you had an approach from Williams?
TT: It has been rumoured, but I don't know the details.

Jarno, there is a 17-point gap between Toyota and Ferrari in the constructors'. What chances of third place?
Jarno Trulli: We still have some chance, but very little. We had our chances but we didn't use them unfortunately. We still have two races to go but I really feel at the moment that we have to do our best for the remaining races without thinking of third position in the championship.

Now you have chosen to run the B-spec car here. What are the differences?
JT: Well, the car is definitely quicker than the old one, especially on the long runs, that is why we brought the car here, but we still have some problems, especially I have some problems in terms of handling, car reaction and feeling, it is a bit frustrating for me to drive this car because I don't feel quick at all, I actually feel slower but even being slower with this car I am anyway quicker than the old car, that is why we took it here. This is the direction for next year and that is the reason we had to take the car for the last races because it is a step forwards, we still have some problems and we still have to understand the problems to improve over the winter and to make a good step for next year's car.

Now, also the story has come out about you carrying the Olympic torch. Can you tell us a bit about that, although it is a long way into the future?
JT: I think as a Formula One driver I would not be involved in any Olympic games but it is nice. I thought it would be nice for a driver that will never be involved in the Olympic Games to be part of it, even only if it is just taking the torch. To me, as an athlete, it will be very nice to be present and also probably to watch some of the competition.

So how far will you run with it?
JT: I don't know if I can do it, maybe 200 metres.

And that will be in Pescara?
JT: Yeah, it is my home city so it is a big pleasure to be there and to be the last to take the torch to the top, so it will be a nice atmosphere and I think it am going to enjoy it.
