Gerhard, first of all, how does it feel to be back?
Gerhard Berger: It's great to be back, honestly. It was great to be at home a bit, to relax for the last year and a half but I was missing motorsport, no question about it, so now I had a good opportunity, and I'm happy to be here again.

Are you going to be a good spectator, given that you have an interest in the team or will you be more hands-on?
GB: Well, it was a fantastic opportunity, it was great to get 50 percent of the team and of course that makes it a little bit different. Let's see now. I hope we can develop the team in a good way and we can create something for the future.

What will be your role within the team?
GB: Well, we have Franz Tost as team principal who everybody knows. I've known him very well since the Formula Ford time and then when I was in BMW he joined us there. I worked with him for five years there and now he's our team principal and he's going to stay and I'm just going to be close to him and whenever there's a need and whenever I can give some input I will try to do my best.

Your V10 engine is governed by an equivalency formula; are you worried about that being changed, if you're getting the car into the top six like today?
GB: It's a good question because first, we've been testing here, as one of the few teams, so we came here with a set-up already. Then, of course we put on a fresh set of tyres, we did a good lap time but a lot of the teams still kept very quiet because they are trying to save miles on the engine, so we could have a full day running. We ran a lot so there was a certain advantage on our side today. And then, if you talk about the engine, I hear a lot of discussions going on already. First, for me, we took over the engine contract from Minardi and that's what we have and we try to do our best. We've built up a team, we've made it stronger, we have quite a good car and we have this engine which we are very happy with. And as I understood, the goal of the FIA was to regulate this engine in a way that is competitive. I'm 100 percent sure that we don't have the best engine. There are some V8s that are stronger than ours but I'm also sure that we don't have the worst engine. And I don't think it was the goal to put the V10 as the worst engine. I think it should have a fair chance and I think that's what we have. So I think all this discussion is not right and we're going to see where the engine is over the next days, but if you look at the speeds, I think it's fair as it is at the moment.

Jean, tell us about the atmosphere within the team after last year. Do you see a different atmosphere within the team in comparison to last year?
Jean Todt: Not really. It's good because we start from scratch again, so we have all our chances to try to do the best result as possible. Everybody is very motivated and of course we are just expecting to see the way things are going to develop because it's far too early to know where we are. So there's always some tension, some expectation to see how the situation is, and that's why the first race will be quite interesting.

Do you think Bridgestone has gained from having other teams, Williams and Toyota?
JT: It definitely allows Bridgestone to have some other input so they don't have to just listen to us to develop the tyres. They did a very good job over the winter. Again, at the moment, the only thing we can say is that it seems encouraging but no more.

There's talk of an agreement in terms of testing. Is that the case and can you tell us a little bit more about it?
JT: Yes, I got the document which was signed by the 11 team principals so we can say that an agreement has been made regarding testing for '06.

How many days?
JT: I think 36 days during the season. I think. I'm not sure.

Aguri-san; welcome, good to see you and well done for getting here. Give us some sort of idea what sort of effort has been required, because let's face it, at the last Grand Prix we didn't even know the name of the team and here you are with two cars out there.
Aguri Suzuki: It's been very difficult for me to come back into Formula One. I started this project last September, only 150 days build-up to Formula One, so it's very very difficult. I found and negotiated some budget and set up a factory with some staff but I'm very happy to come back here. Anyway, my two cars are here and I'm here but I'm very happy but it's been very difficult.

What sort of future developments will we see? People have talked about a new monocoque; when do we expect to see that?
AS: Now our team is using an Arrows monocoque and it has some modified aerodynamics and things like that. But just now, everybody in the factory is starting the new monocoque and the new car and development.

When will we see the new car?
AS: It's very difficult to say now, because my team is very small, only 100 people. Now, starting the season, it's very difficult to get the new car developed. But now it's been started.

How much help have you had from Honda?
AS: Honda have helped a lot: engine support and some electronic control systems and also engineers are helping my team.
