First question to all of you. How do you think the cars will handle around here? How are they going to handle the kerbs as well?
Rubens Barrichello: I am very optimistic about our chances here. It is a new area for everyone like every year. It used to be here and Hockenheim where there is a package just for this race with the low downforce. We have some of the tunnel experience which was good and hopefully it will translate well to the track. The temperatures seem to be okay which for us with the tyres is very important. Low downforce creates a situation where you put more effort onto the tyres as well. The kerbs are quite good although when we walked the circuit this morning some of them seem to be a little bit too high to be used but I expect my car to be competitive.

Robert, you have got new front and rear wings here?
Robert Kubica: Well, yes I mean we have a new front and rear wing because of the lower downforce configuration car. As Rubens mentioned, this is the only track with low downforce and looking at Spa where we were already using low downforce our car was performing much better than standard ones, so I am looking forward. Always Monza has been a very good track for our team. Even in 2006 where we were struggling to fight for the points I was able to finish on the podium here, so I hope the car will react in the same positive way for this track.

Jarno?
Jarno Trulli: Well, after the experience of the last races, unpredictable for us, I would say. We have a new aero package and I am always optimistic but as we don't have any experience on this kind of track we will just have to wait and see.

Giancarlo, you had a good look at the Ferrari in low downforce configuration while you were driving the Force India.
Giancarlo Fisichella: Yeah, obviously I cannot say a lot about the car apart from the colour which is red. It is amazing for me to be here in Monza with my home grand prix with a new team and in a Ferrari car which was my dream since when I was young. It is just great. I am sure it is going to be good for Ferrari performance this circuit with the KERS and the aerodynamic package. Obviously, I need to get comfortable and confident with the car. I will spend first of all the morning to learn everything but I am sure the second free practice will be much more comfortable and I can already be confident to be competitive.

Do you think Force India are going to be a force to be reckoned with here?
GF: Yes, I think Fore India are going to be quick here because Force India has been quick on the main straight in every circuit and the speed here is a very high speed circuit. They have a strong engine and very low drag, so it is a good opportunity for them.

Vitantonio, you have done a lot of the straight line testing for Force India. I believe at the beginning of August you did 270km in one day of straight line testing which must have been thrilling.
Vitantonio Liuzzi: Yes, and I think last week a little more. The team is pushing a lot for development and I think the results show how much the team is pushing and for sure straight line is not like making a corner here in Monza but it gives a good idea why we made such progress and why we are always so fast and so strong in really high speed straight lines.

So the team has really concentrated on straight line running?
TL: No, we concentrated to put the maximum downforce with the least drag possible. I think we showed great development in this case and I think we have got a good compromise between low downforce and drag, so I think we can be in a good position here in Monza. For sure without the KERS it won't be easy, especially here in Monza but we are really optimistic for the race weekend.

And what about your own personal feelings? Are you race ready? You have done a couple of A1 races and you did some speedcar.
TL: That is what I could do to keep myself as fit as possible. Physically you can just do your best by working out in the gym and do the maximum you can to keep yourself fit. We won't know until I jump back in the car tomorrow but I feel pretty ready to be back and physically I feel fit and strong. Maybe here in Monza it will be a much softer start. If it had been Singapore it would have been much tougher, but fortunately it is here in my home race and it is a good way to start.

Giancarlo, it has been a momentous time. What have you been doing at the factory since the announcement was made? How much have you had to unlearn one car and learn a new way of doing everything even though you've been in Formula One for so long?
GF: Yes, I spent most of the time in Maranello doing the seat fitting and lots of meetings with engineers and talking about the programme, the work they do in Ferrari. But I did the simulator. Usually the simulator is (becomes inaudible) but this one was the starting one, so it was comfortable or me. I did every day about two or three hours a day. It is good to learn especially the different steering wheel and how to manage the KERS, the adjustable front flaps which we didn't use in Force India. It was good to be ready for tomorrow on this programme.

Is there a huge amount to learn or do you feel pretty much on top of it now?
GF: I feel on top of it. But obviously when you are going to drive the car for sure it is going to be different behaviour to Force India and I will need extra laps to get comfortable.
