EBTM should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Comments from Cristiano...

Hi,

With the F1 coming to Montreal this weekend, I found an article about DaMatta... I hope it is interesting for you even though he is not with CART anymore...


http://www.canada.com/sports/auto/gr...1-182E97DF4046


Quote:
At this weekend's 35th Air Canada Grand Prix, da Matta will become the first driver to have raced CART and F1 on the same track in less than a year.
"I miss the team that was around me," he said. "I definitely miss the Newman Hass team a lot. I miss the many friends I had inside the team and inside CART. I miss the fact that racing in CART, everybody has very similar equipment and here it's a very different story.
"So, I miss many things, but I have to face the fact that this is a new challenge, filled with many different things that are ahead of me."
Who will not miss a team as Newman Haas??

It'll be good to see him race here again, but unfortunately, this time, I doubt I'll be able to talk to him in the pit lane as he's climbing out of the car like the last time he was there (can't even get within a kilometer of the pitlane in fact). I'll miss that...

It's always nice to hear ex-ChampCar drivers plugging CART.

Just reading that, I think the person asking the question probably put the words in his mouth a little. "Do you miss CART?" What do you expect him to say?

Ask JV if he misses CART, and he'll say, "Who?"

But that's negative nelly Jacques- what question wouldn't result in a negative answer?

"What do you think of safety?" "grrrr grumble grumble"

"Who are you currently dating?" "grrrr grumble grumble"

"Is Button better than you?" "grrrr grumble grumble"

Hey, Jacques was in Miami last year, wasn't he? Him and Juan Pablo?

at Crash Test...never met him, but I heard that's pretty accurate.

That said, yes Lee, Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Montoya were in Miami, and both had very favourable comments about Cart, and bashed the IRL a bit at the same time.
