I uploaded a new interview with Lucas by La Sexta, so it will be in spanish. He is laughing, counting with his fingers - absolutely cute and funny. And some new words about Lucas...he just landed in Monaco, maybe he is visiting Massa there...or the other brazilian mates...and as everyone knows he is living in Monaco too, not just in England or Brazil.
Finally it's official! Lucas's VR-01 car name is Veronica! I hope she will do well on the races and she will be as competetive as Lucas! So Veronica, welcome to the Virgin Family! :) For more details visit the Official VR Web
And one more thing... Barrichello was joking with Lucas during the press conference...but some people from the media didn't understand it, and that caused the problem. Read the article
Check out my new highlight video...hope you like it!!! :) Lucas went bacl to London today, he might be sleeping at home after the looong weekend, journey and weather conditions.
Happy Easter to everyone! Lucas did it! Finished the 1st race for Virgin Racing! Fantastic! Congratulations! He really deserved the result! I think for fans this means a lot...almost like a victory! The race was really exciting; beautiful start from Lucas, the collosion with Heikki, making the gap between him and Trulli, and everyone was worried about the car.
Lucas interview: “It was a very tough race today - physically and mentally - but I’m so happy to bring the Virgin Racing car home to the finish. I had a great start and was able to make up five places on the opening lap. We had very good early pace and continued to be strong, despite losing my front wing end-plate when Heikki tried to overtake me. We had a good pit stop and we were still looking very strong in the second part of the race. We were well ahead of the other new teams, which meant that we could afford to ease off a little to make sure nothing got in the way of our result today. It has been a long wait and we’ve had some tough times in the past few months, but we know that we’re making progress and we can go on to achieve better things. Today showed that we are truly competitive and it’s a great feeling that our fight has really started now. Timo’s DNF was a real shame but I think we can start to look forward together to some great racing now.” Full Malaysian gallery is available Click here
