Nick Heidfeld on Spanish GP
"The Circuit de Catalunya is a nice circuit to be at, as a driver.   Luckily we didn’t do as much testing there last year as a few years previously because it actually became boring because all the drivers knew the circuit so well!  The track is demanding for both driver and car and it’s meant to be one of the circuits where aerodynamics are even more important than other tracks.  One of the corners has been changed for this year which will make the track safer and hopefully make it a bit better for overtaking but I don’t think it will make a huge difference.  I finished in the top six at Barcelona twice out of the four times I’ve raced there in F1, coming 4th in 2002.  While we may not be in a position to match that at the moment, if everything goes smoothly I am confident of a good race.”
