Frankly Franchitti

It's pretty annoying when you have a good car and you end up with nothing.

Chicago, for us, was a pretty average race; it was very difficult to overtake. We started 10th and worked our way up to third, and took the lead when everyone else pitted. Our biggest problem was that we had a fuel pressure problem, which caused a misfire. We had to pit earlier than everyone else, but we still had 10 gallons in the tank. That wasn't the major deal, as at the end of the day that strategy might have worked out for us, but it wasn't to be.

On our third and final stop I came in the pits for what should have been a quick stop. It was, but as I left I glanced down at the dashboard, where there's a light to warn me that the pitlane limiter is on. I looked down and it wasn't on. So I hit the button to switch it on, I thought, and ended up switching the thing off... By the time I realised I was over the speed limit. It was a fair deal. I was speeding and that was it. We put it down to a 'software glitch', which can cover a multitude of sins. But it destroyed any hope we had of getting any points. What's more frustrating is I think we actually came out in front of Kenny (Brack) after that last stop.

So it was pretty disappointing really. The Chicago track is a difficult track to pass on, but we'd made up the places, so it could have been good. Through the season you'll get these things happen. We've just got to try and limit them, we have to try and stop these things happening. We need to make as few mistakes as we can.

I watched most of the German Grand Prix on TV before our race. Juan Montoya was doing a great job until he went out. I can imagine how frustrated he is. He was doing a great job. I guess that kind of set the tone for the day really.

I flew back to England after the race, and this week I'm doing some press bits for the Rockingham race. That's certainly going to be a special event, one to look forward to.
