Jaime Alguersuari Has Scored Points!

トロロッソの若手スペイン人ドライバー、ハイメ・アルグエルスアリがマレーシアGPで9位入賞、F1初ポイントを獲得しました。F1公式サイトのインタビューを引用します。

“I am very happy to have scored points today and I have to say I never expected to do it so early in the season. A big thanks to everyone in the team who have worked so hard to achieve this result. Step by step, I have improved my performance, but this weekend was very tough because I didn’t know the track. I enjoyed this race, especially the fights I had with some of the others: I think I learned a bit about the art of fighting with Michael (Schumacher) last weekend in Melbourne. Towards the end, I was a bit worried about how the tyres would last, as I was on the soft ones, but I had no degradation. It is very satisfying and I feel a lot more confident now going into the upcoming races.”

去年の途中からセバスチャン・ブルデーに代わってトロ・ロッソのドライバーになった、二十歳のハイメ・アルグエルスアリ、今回はチームメートのスイス人ドライバー、セバスチャン・ブエミの前でフィニッシュ。「セパンは初めてでトラックはよくわからなかったのでたいへんだった。先週、メルボルンでシューマッハから戦い方を学んだ」とも言っています。今年のシューマッハは若手を育てる役目なの?

去年はブエミと共に、マシンのパーツをたくさん壊しましたが、今年はドライビングが安定しています。

We feel somewhat close to the Toro Rosso drivers, Jaime Alguersuari and Sébastien Buemi as we happened to be on the same flight coming back to Osaka from Singapore GP last September.
