"I am happy to visit Imola before the actual San Marino Grand Prix in April, since it is one of the circuits I never drove before, and I really like driving it. The team did its best to give me as many pre-season testing opportunities as possible and when I get to Melbourne next week I will know 9 of the 16 FIA F1 world championship tracks. As for today, we had a very good morning session but a series of small problems in the afternoon. We now hope for a good day tomorrow."
