It was not an ideal start to the season to Simona De Silvestro , considered too many reliability problems that have so far hindered all progress of his team in the pre-season test Donington Park . But the lady driver Swiss team Andretti , fresh from signing with the US-sponsored training group Amlin , believes that the problems will be resolved in time and is a real profession optimism …
First of all, it is worth you congratulations for the agreement with owner Michael for the second season of life of the FIA Formula E. The first four days of trials in England were probably disappointing, though. What has kept you off track?
“They were mostly software problems, and trouble like that. It was definitely a little ‘frustrating for all of us, but this is motorsport and must be accepted: sometimes to deal with these situations and get out of it, it needs only to work hard. It is a question solved ours, of course, but it takes time … “.
It will be difficult to adapt to the conditions that you will find in Beijing?
“I will face it certainly in an ideal way, or as we would have liked, but I have experience of cars and city tracks. Whenever you are out of the cockpit of a racing car and you stand still, it’s certainly not a good thing: it is powerless. When I get in the car I learn something new, but I was still allowed to do it better. This is the situation in which we find ourselves and this is what we need to resolve: we will do our best to get out of it. “
think that the experience you have accumulated in London on the occasion of your debut season in Formula E in races of 27 and 28 June this year, it will help you do well despite the lack of kilometers and training with the new powertrain ATEC-01?
“It’s hard to say right now, because we have not been able to do what we had planned. We have a lot of work ahead of us, largely backward, but I admit I liked a lot the event in London, and I also said at the time. These cars are difficult to drive, and the series is really competitive, but it is something that can not wait to experience on my skin this season. I repeat: where we are now is not an ideal location, but the team is working hard to identify the real problems, and to address them. “
What different sensations gives today car compared to last year due to the amendment of regulations?
“It is not easy to hypothesize seen my few kilometers, but in the nose I think there is a marked improvement Step over the first championship. I imagine that any series that programs face the constant developments assuming also performance improvements from year to year, but sometimes you have to dissolve several nodes to get home to roost. Once we arrived where we aim to be, I believe the improvement will be inevitable and will be perceived. “
What does it mean to you personally to be part of this series?
“It’s really special to be in effect part of the Formula E, I say without fear of contradiction, especially since it is a new season and because the talents of rank on the grid starting abound. I’m looking forward to it this season and becoming involved in the development of new electric technology is fantastic to have embarked on this journey … “.
