WSRC: Rocha, You lead from start to finish and made it look easy! Tell us how you prepared for this race!
HR: Well I'm delighted that I could win the British GP after being away for 3 races. I've worked hard in the free practice sessions to fine-tune the revised version of the A25B and, man, it surely paid off! I think I won here with a 7-second lead mainly because of my setup, which I struggled to adjust as I've lost all the data from previous races and test sessions. But everything went way better than I could ever expect, so I have nothing to complain about.
WSRC: Rocha, both you and Vincenzi are tied for third place in the championship after sitting out the mid season and your teammate, Glanville has held the torch for the team since you've been away! Tell us how you feel about your chances for the rest of the season?
HR: The championship's still open. There are many races to the end of the season, so plenty of opportunities to catch Brian in the fight for the championship. However I have to be careful about Vincenzi. We're tied, what means that he has just the same chances of being champion as I do. And with Adenekan's return to the competition, after leaving it even before it started, it won't be that easy to score enough points for the championship. No break for the São Paulo's boy... [laughs]
WSRC: Rocha, again congratulations for winning the British GP! Please give us your final thoughts?
HR: Hadn't we seriously revised the A25B for this race, my victory wouldn't have been so easy. I think our car has what it needs to challenge for the win in Silverstone-like circuits. However I have no idea of how things will be at the super-fast Hockenheim circuit, neither at the tight Hungaroring, so I can't be sure of anything. I've done some laps at Hockenheim, so I can see the car's behaviour in high speed. Let's wait and see.
