Justin Wilson Q&A

"Nothing was confirmed before that, so it's a nice thing to hear! I went and sat in the car at the factory. They gave me the opportunity to see what it was like. We didn't make a seat, but we know that I can fit in, which is a starting point."



"The aim is to get into F1, but it's not easy. We'll see what happens over the next month. My ambition is to be racing, but there could be a possibility of testing. There are a lot of things going on at the moment, so we'll just have to see after this weekend, and take it from there."



"It's difficult to know. America is always a possibility, but the downside is that I've been over here, I've seen how F1 works from outside, and you get to understand how the weekend works and what goes on. To then go over to America would be quite a big step, a complete change of lifestyle and everything. So ideally I'll stay on this side and have a look at getting into F1, but if there are no opportunities, I'd like the chance to race in America."



"I don't know if frustrating is the right word. It's been hard work, but we always knew that. Because we don't have the money to go and buy a drive, you've got to earn it. Jonathan always said to me you've got to try and win, because that's going to earn you the chance. That's what we've done, and over the last couple of months my profile's got higher and higher from the publicity we've got, and that's been fantastic."



"It's a strange position to be in, only one point away. Initially I was thinking yeah that's it, and then you start thinking anything can happen, especially at Spa with the weather conditions. Friday was quite fraught, so I just had to make sure that I was up there and able to capitalise. You don't want to back off and lose it all in the last couple of races."



"I saw the replays on the big screen as we were behind the safety car, so I realised it was a big shunt, and Mark was out, which was obviously good news for me. But I didn't know at that point if he was OK or not. It's not a good place to go off."



"It was nice to be on the podium, but unfortunately I wasn't quick enough today. On the grid I opted to stay with a wet set-up on slick tyres, and at the time it felt like the safest option to go with. In hindsight it wasn't quite the quickest, but it was good enough for second."



"The season has been fantastic. The team has done a great job, and has been the most consistent team out there. Apart from one race every time I've finished, I've been on the podium. They've done a good job."



"He knows how things work, so it's quite handy!"



"Whatever's needed. If I'm in a new situation, Jonathan will help me out. It's quite an open relationship, and it works quite well."



"It's important to be quick every time you're in the car. It'll be interesting. As I said, we'll just have to see what happens now."
