Turkey Preview Quotes: Jordan

Tiago Monteiro: "After Budapest, I went to Portugal to see my family for a few days but also to do a lot of promotions for my sponsors, such as shooting a commercial for instance. I only had maybe three days off in the whole two weeks, so even though we could not test the car, I have been very busy off the track. I am very excited about going to Turkey, a country I have never been to, but also because this is a new circuit, where everybody will be on the same level, learning the new layout, which could maybe be good for us. We know it is going to be a very difficult race as the weather conditions will be once again very hot, but I will do my best to finish another race."

Nicolas Kiesa: "During the three-week break, I have been doing a lot of physical training. To be honest, I am not sure that if I had had a race drive opportunity at Hockenheim or Budapest, I do not think I would have been physically ready for that. I have been doing a lot of work on strengthening my neck and shoulders. Turkey will be a new circuit for everyone, so it will be interesting to see how the different teams and drivers will adapt to the track. I was used to new circuits when I was driving in F3000. In my first year, every circuit we went to, I went straight into qualifying, so I had to learn quickly. I think I was quite good at that, so I hope it will be the same case here and that I will be able to do a good job for the team.

Adrian Burgess - Sporting Director: "Turkey will host a whole variety of technical challenges for the team and the drivers, which will make the weekend more interesting than some other circuits we go to. Our drivers will not have the disadvantage of being the only ones not knowing the circuit as it will be new for everybody. For the team, there will no doubt be a few surprises, which will be motivating for the engineers and technicians in order to understand and get the best from the package available."
