El futuro de Jaguar Opciones

Como Juan Palomo, yo me lo guiso, yo me lo como:

Más declaraciones de Irvine tras la carrera:

P: Este podio va a ser único o el buen momento de Jaguar se va a plasmar en las dos últimas pruebas en Indianápolis y Suzuka.
R: Por supuesto que hoy hemos tenido más suerte que los Williams, pero creo que en USA no se nos van a dar mal del todo las cosas. Tenemos un buen motor y los neumáticos funcionan bien. Si conseguimos estar en parrilla entre los diez primeros tendremos opciones de estar en la zona de puntos. Claro que me gustaría tener otro podio pero también me conformo con algun punto.

A que suena bien?
Si os acordais, despues de lo de Australia, a nadie se le ocurrió decir que el coche iba bien y que estarían entre los 10 primeros...

las cosas no son como empiezan, sino como terminan

Leed esto...

Speaking ahead of the Indianapolis race, Jaguar team boss Niki Lauda said: "Monza was a fantastic weekend for us. Securing third place has rejuvenated the team and is clearly just reward for the hard work that has been carried out over the season.

"Indianapolis, or 'The Brickyard' as it's known, is a similar circuit to Monza and Spa and there is no reason why we cannot be competitive there.



"Although I have never raced at the circuit, it remains one of the most famous. It boasts a high-speed banked corner that leads on to the longest full-throttle stretch in Formula One™ of around 20 seconds. Not only does this place a high demand on the engine and brakes, but also the set-up is made even more difficult as the infield section of the circuit requires a relatively high downforce configuration.

"Combine this with the data we have from last year when Eddie finished the race in fifth place and I'd say we are far better prepared for this race than we have been previously.

"Although we have not added any new developments to the car since Monza, we will be looking to continue with the reliability that we have witnessed in recent races. I know that after last weekend Eddie and Pedro are both happier with the R3's balance.

"Given the magnitude of changes that we have made since the beginning of the season, the most important reward comes in the shape of a credible benchmark for our next challenger, the Jaguar R4."

After his first podium finish in over a year, Irvine is also looking forward to taking on the challenges presented by Indianapolis. "Monza was unbelievable," he said. "What a race! I am certainly planning on taking some of that good feeling to Indy with me.



"The team has been given a real boost, and deservedly so. I managed fifth here in Indy last year and since then the car has changed completely so it will be a different race altogether.

"The circuit is not the easiest to set-up for, you are trying to have high downforce for the infield and then you are travelling for nearly 20 seconds down the longest flat-out stretch on the F1™ calendar!

"The team is naturally concerned about the pressure that is applied to the brakes and engine as a result, although since this circuit is similar to Monza, we go in to this race encouraged by our recent performance. With only two races to go, I will be pulling the stops out to ensure that we push as hard as possible to secure our sixth place in the championship or maybe even grab fifth.

"I have no doubt that this race is going to be as tough as the last two, however, it's about time our hard efforts were rewarded and lets hope that we can generate the points that we now know we are capable of."

Unfortunately de la Rosa did not share Irvine's good fortune in Italy. Nevertheless the Spaniard remains optimistic for the American race.



"After my frustrating race in Monza I went straight to Barcelona to complete some set-up work and tyre evaluations," he explained. "We have not made any new developments on the car for the U.S race, although we have a good package already in place from Monza.

"Indy can be hard on the brakes and engine failures have been high in recent years, but despite that, most teams have opted for a one-stop strategy. I believe that after a two-year learning curve we are better placed this year to have an optimum tyre and race strategy.

"The race will be at its fastest, about 225 mph as we cross the famous yard of bricks. We actually run in the opposite direction to usual, heading into a tight right-left before twisting around the infield golf course. The course then opens out into two faster corners, the second of which is turn one on the oval, sweeping back out onto the front straightaway.

"It's a circuit I enjoy and I go to Indy upbeat about the race and what Jaguar Racing can now offer."
