Robert, you regard this as your home race, don't you?
Robert Kubica: Yeah, it is the closest race to Poland. Many fans are coming here. As there will not be a Polish Grand Prix I think Hungary we can call it my home race.

There are a lot of Poles here?
RK: For now, not, but expecting quite a lot. I think the biggest part of fans in Hungary are Polish and Finns, so I think there will be quite a lot of Polish fans.

You have suggested that this could be a good circuit for you. Maybe not as good as Monaco, but it is almost like a street circuit in the countryside. That's what it has been described as.
RK: I think we can be closer to the top here. The track characteristics suit our car better. Things have changed since Monaco. Monaco is a long time ago, so all cars have been improved. Most of the cars now are running F-duct although in Hungary here it is not so important. But I think it is still quite a big advantage. We will have to see. The cars are a bit different, so we will have to see.

It has been suggested that the Renault engine is down on power. Is that something you have noticed?
RK: Well, difficult to say. From the numbers we lack power but how much and how big an affect it is it is impossible for me to judge. It is not a secret and I think it is not the first year that the Renault engine unfortunately is not the strongest one.

Sakon-san, tell us how difficult it is to come in Formula One in the middle of the season as you have?
Sakon Yamamoto: Yes, it is not the easiest way to come back into Formula One but as long as I have got an opportunity to come back here I am really happy and appreciate for the team and I will try to do my best in the third race this year.

This is a circuit you know quite well.
SY: I know it quite well since in 2006 and 2007 I drove (becomes inaudible) and in 2008 I drove GP2, so this is the fourth time I'm here.

And a circuit you like. How well do you think you can do? Or is it impossible to really change the hierarchy down there?
SY: Personally I like the circuit lay-out and for us it is going to be a tough race again, but still I try to enjoy myself and pushing this challenging circuit.

Rubens, a former winner here. If you can remember those days. Is it a favourite circuit?
Rubens Barrichello: Why do you say that?

It was a year or two ago.
RB: It was probably more than that. I do enjoy it here. I enjoy the weekend as a whole as you don't turn up here and everything is set. Every time you come in there are some differences in the way the car behaves and the weekends evolve a lot in the way that you have to set up the car. You know that Saturday is going to be different, so if some rain comes it is a different thing again, how are you going to use the tyres. Qualifying is where the big bang is as you need to be towards the front for you to have a good race.

With the rain expected, particularly tomorrow, will it take longer for the circuit to evolve and pick up grip?
RB: I think when it happens it makes it more exciting as with the Friday and Saturday you have chances to perform in a way that you want the car to be close to perfect. It is very difficult for you to get close to perfect, but when it rains it makes it even more difficult as sometimes you have to follow between set-up and things like this and the track changes as well as you clean all the rubber and it makes it more exciting. The chances are you don't have all faster cars in front and you have some slower cars that are supposedly at the back and they are in front, so that's what's the challenge, especially now driving a car that is capable of getting to Q3 but is not as fast as we wished. It is a good time to put the car on a better show and the hope is to finish on a higher pointer.

Is this a circuit that is suited to the Williams or vice versa?
RB: That's a difficult one. I have never actually driven the Williams here, but I have seen on the papers they qualified well here last year. I think this circuit goes in a way that Monaco goes, so maximum downforce and so on. I think that we can do well. We are going to keep it very fair and simple and just work as hard as we can.
