{ Fernando Horta } → Formula Duude

Nothing like a autumn morning at a British town, and while we are "enjoying" the "nice" weather, we caught up with the drivers for today's press conference.

PRESS CONFERENCE - Castle Combe

TIB :

(Jovi - John Bon) Tib, do you expect to be better on this race than on the previous two?
Tib : Well, yes! I'm always trying to be better, to win races. So yeah, i hope to score a double win tonight.

(??? - ???) We heard rumors about Scuderia Libra expanding their operation and possibly lining up a two-car team, can you explain that to us?
Tib : Well, i am not team manager, but i don't see it that happening too soon. The Scuderia is not swimming in dollars recentely, ´cause the team doesn't have a official sponsor. Although rumors are that a new main sponsor might be signed, soon. But yeah, in reality, i don't see the Scuderia managing a two car operation, at least not in this season...

(M. Bison - ???) I sense a great power coming from your team garage for this weekend. Do you mind if I put your new boss on my Psycho Drive?
Tib : Well, as a matter of fact, i do mind. We need the support from the new management, in order to perform well, which is our main concern to this point..
But if you must do it, i won't stop you, but that guy (points to *Ryu*) might..

(M. Bison - ???) Face the mighty Bison... SACOCRÃSHA!!
Tib : Huh... ok, whatever, dude...

(Clark Kent - Daily Planet) One last question: what do you think about the "redcargate" that we first heard about 2 days ago?
Tib : I'm not sure what to think about it. Maybe it's something big, but i dunno. I like to keep things open and truthfull. So secret testing on the far east, isn't impressive to me.
But given the early fuss on the season about gathering more teams, i think that might have something to do with it.

Thank you, tib!

SHAKA :

(John Kent - Terra Networks) Shaka, rumours tell us that you're still not recovered from your medical conditions, are you feeling fit for the race ?
Shaka: I'm not 100% fit, but I believe I can drive the car fast enough. My reaction time is a bit slower than usual, so I'll have to play it safe for everyone involved. My team manager gave me some painkillers, at least pain is not an iss... issu... issue!

(Mike Hawk - EPSN) - What is the position of FD official's medical doctor, Dr. Zinho, MD, he gave you the green light to race ?
Shaka: I was given a light, but I'm not sure if it was green, purple, cream, acqua... I believe it was infrared light =}

(Tommy - The Docks) Back to the race, points leader again, and by a good stretch, any different strategies planned for tonight, or simple a press the gas as hard as possible, as usual ?
Shaka: I believe tonight's race will be much more competitive with a 3 car fight for the lead. I don't know the track, have never driven there before and, if the doctors allow me, I'll get to the track in time for Qualifying session, not a second before that. So a DNF is possible.

(Stirn Depot - Faces Magazine) - We all saw the red car footage, but some people are saying that you were the one driving it,and that your medical condition is a hoax to give you extra time to test, can you confirm or dismiss these rumours ? Are you leaving the Lotus Team for a new team ?
Shaka : That's completely bullshit. I have a contract with the team and I don't wanna leave them. The red car story looks like a hoaw (sic) (meant "hoax"), but the World Counsil has launched an investigation and, as it seems, several drivers were at that test, most of them leaving to a hospital or morgue, I hope the federation can investigate that completely.

Ok, thanks so much for your time, and good luck tonight.
Shaka : Thank you!
