A question for you all: a fair amount has been said about the importance of Formula One in the USA and vice versa; how important are they to one another?
Aguri Suzuki: I think Formula One is a worldwide game. Of course the United States is very important in Grand Prix racing. But I want it to continue here, especially as I have a factory near here, and many of my employees are coming here. Last year there were problems in this Grand Prix but I hope we have a good race here this year.

Christian Horner: It's an important event for Red Bull. It's obviously their single biggest market and for us to have a Grand Prix in the US is important for us. Red Bull has invested in the US Driver Search of which Scott Speed is obviously a product. I think it's positive for Formula One to have a good young rookie in the sport as well and I hope that we can put on a good show this weekend and go some way towards making up for the embarrassment of last year.

Pat Symonds: As Renault, we don't actually sell cars in North America but nevertheless, it's a World Championship and I think that North America is a very important part of the world. Our audience is worldwide, no matter where we are racing, but I think that if we want to call it a true World Championship, North America is a very important part of that world.

Frank Williams: It's the same as everyone has said so far. It's the world's largest economy by an enormous amount and money is very much required in Formula One. Three of our main sponsors are from the USA and we very much need presence here.

Anyone for two Grands Prix in the USA?
CH: Depends where it is.

FW: I think Bernie's the only man who can tell you what will possibly happen or not. It's been pointed out to me by someone much more clever than me that if we are to have any real chance it needs to be in what the Americans call a destination resort area.

Aguri, the new car has been announced as coming to the German Grand Prix. Can you tell us how many cars, how much testing beforehand etc?
AS: When I bring a new car, it's basically two cars to the Grand Prix. The normal plan was to bring the cars to the French Grand Prix, the next Grand Prix, but three weeks ago our wind tunnel broke so our schedule was delayed by a week, so our new car will appear in Germany. If we bring the new car, I'm sure we will bring two cars.

How much of it is new?
AS: It's very difficult to say; aerodynamics, suspension and everything. A new concept of a car.

And how much testing beforehand?
AS: Everybody knows our team is still a very small team; only 120 people working. It normally takes a year to make a new car, it's very difficult but anyway we will test two times before the Grand Prix.

What's the situation with Franck Montagny?
AS: His basic contract is until this race but I'm very happy to use Franck and Franck has given a lot of information and he has a lot of experience. I am quite happy to continue using him.

So we'll see him at the French Grand Prix…
AS: It's very difficult to say now but everybody is happy to use Franck, I'm sure.

Christian, next year the product of a top chassis designer, Adrian Newey, a top engine - which one, we don't know – and a winning driver?
CH: Obviously both driver contracts are up for renewal at the end of the year. We're pretty relaxed about the situation at the moment. We are in a situation where we can afford to wait a little. There's a lot of interest in the market to drive a Red Bull car next year. We're obviously looking very closely at the three guys we have competing for us over a Grand Prix weekend and we're very relaxed about the situation and aren't in any particularly rush.

British journalists are fairly eager to know if David Coulthard will be included in your plans, and how much are your plans linked to those of Scuderia Toro Rosso, being under the same ownership?
CH: First of all, I will deal with the David question. While David remains competitive and motivated, he's one of the top drivers out there on a Sunday afternoon and I think that we have seen that not only last weekend in Montreal where he drove from the back of the grid to take a point, but also in Monte Carlo. He's still hungry and still motivated. Obviously we're taking that fully into consideration.

Regarding Toro Rosso, they are obviously a separate team even if we share the same parent. They've got two very good youngsters there but it's not absolutely necessary that we look inward. As I say, there are a lot of drivers out there that are keen to drive a Red Bull car next year, so we are in a situation where we can afford to wait.
