00:00Welcome everybody to the Drivers Press Conference ahead of the FIA Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix.

00:06In our first group today we have Fernando Alonso closest to me, then Franco Colopinto in the middle

00:12and Nico Hülkenberg furthest away from me.

00:15And Hulke, can we see you in a minute?

00:17Franco, let's come to you.

00:19We've had a short break since Silverstone.

00:22Have you had a chance to just reflect on the six races that you've done for the team so far?

00:28And what conclusions have you reached?

00:31Yeah, it's been good.

00:31I think to have a break, to reset and to go back to the factory, work a bit with the guys

00:36and really focus on what we need to improve.

00:39Keep working with the engineers and everyone back at the factory was good.

00:45A little break to reset as well.

00:47So, yeah, ready for SPA.

00:50When you look at the data, in what areas of performance do you think you can still make the most progress?

00:56I think there has been different tracks that, you know, I've had some different weaknesses,

01:04but especially in long runs have been quite strong lately.

01:08We are still focusing quite a bit in performance, in low fuel.

01:12I'm still lacking in the new tire runs most of the time.

01:18So, yeah, working with the car to find that confidence that sometimes I lack in the very high-speed corners.

01:25But I think generally it's been improving.

01:28I started quite strong in Silverstone.

01:31Of course, it didn't end as we wanted, but I think we did some good progress.

01:36Goals for this weekend here at SPA?

01:37I think maximizing the opportunities.

01:40It's going to be a tricky weekend with the sprint race, with the weather forecast as well.

01:46So, I think try to maximize the car we have, the opportunities.

01:50Try to be on top of the weather.

01:53All right. Thank you for that, Franco.

01:54Fernando, let me go.

01:55Thank you.

01:56Question to Franco.

01:57So, it was recently announced that MotoGP will race in Buenos Aires in the old F1 track with some changes.

02:04Just wanted to get your reaction to it and probably what you've seen from the changes to the layout.

02:09And if you see this as a first step towards trying to bring F1 back to Argentina.

02:17I think it's great to have MotoGP back in Buenos Aires now.

02:21It's a country that, you know, there is full of very, very passionate fans.

02:26And it's great to see the sport coming back.

02:29Of course, Formula 1 would be a bit more tricky to go there.

02:35Especially at track changes.

02:37I think they are more for a bike than for a Formula 1 car.

02:41But it will be great in the future.

02:43If they can do something about that, it will be, I think, amazing for the fans and for F1 to see what they can actually achieve there.

02:51I would love that.

02:52Of course, it's one of my dreams.

02:53But it looks a little bit, I think, far away still.

02:58A lot of work to be done for F1 to go there.

03:02But it will be great if in the future it can become a reality.

03:07Thank you.

03:08Hoffman from RTL Luxembourg.

03:10We are doing a future about physiotherapists in Formula 1.

03:14How important those persons are for you during F1 weekends?

03:19Thanks.

03:20A question for all of three.

03:21Okay.

03:22Who would like to start?

03:26Fernando, let's start with you.

03:29Fernando?

03:31Nico?

03:32They are very important.

03:35I think nowadays they are getting more and more important.

03:38You know, we spend a lot of time with them on track, off track.

03:42And, you know, sometimes the cars start to be a bit harsh on the body, especially when the board pausing started.

03:49Then it's good to have a good physio next to you to fix the body a little bit.

03:55Especially maybe for Fernando a bit more.

03:59We recover quick.

04:01Yeah, I mean, they are important.

04:03Even though the cars are now very easy physically.

04:07So, it's good for the young guys that they didn't experience the full attack.

04:11You know, we are like 10 seconds slower in the race than qualified now.

04:16When we put the fuel and the degradations.
