Tonio, you won the team's first point in the USA, that's a big step for them, isn't it?
Vitantonio Liuzzi: Yeah, definitely. We went pretty close for many races and then it happened. We were really happy. It was the right race. For sure we were a bit lucky because of the accident at the first corner but then I think we deserved it because we were pretty quick for our pace. We fought with Nico, with David and at the end we scored this point and I'm really happy for me and for the team because I think we deserved it. We worked hard from the beginning of the year and now we are making some steps forward and looking forward to the future.

Does it make a big difference within a team when something like that happens, a different atmosphere?
VL: Yeah, definitely. Everyone is really positive and optimistic for the future and as I said, they deserved it because they worked hard. It's a new team, everything is brand new, it's the first time for Toro Rosso and finally the first point.

What about your own future? Are you hoping to move to Red Bull Racing?
VL: It's not a hope. We don't know what will happen, me neither. At the moment I am fixed with Toro Rosso. I have to say that I'm happy with the job that they are doing and I think that in the future they are getting much much stronger. For 2007, there are big steps forward coming so I don't know what Red Bull will decide. I am linked to Red Bull so whatever Mr Mateschitz decides for me is fine.

Nico, a disappointment in the USA; was it really 1) that you were running a heavier car and 2) a bit of a lack of understanding of Bridgestone tyres?
Nico Rosberg: No, I wouldn't say it's down to Bridgestone, definitely not because there were other teams that were running very similar tyres to us if not the same and they did pretty well, so it's not down to the tyres. Yeah, it's very difficult to put your finger on it at the moment. It's probably a variation of a few things. Partly, I'm sure, it's aerodynamic. We've found the problem, more or less, on the aerodynamic side of things. We're working on it but it's not something that you can change from one day to the next, obviously, but they're really confident they can progress on that.

So maybe no change here but possibly Hockenheim?
NR: Well, we have a new package here. We went away for two races where we used a low downforce package; now we are back on a higher downforce package from say Silverstone or somewhere like that so they've had some time to work on that. But I'm sure everybody else has too, so we're hoping that we've made a good step there too.

If we can jump forwards, the next race is one of your home races. What are your feelings about Hockenheim, is it a big thing to race at home?
NR: I was born right next to the circuit. I'm German it is my home race. I'm really looking forward to it because it's always nice to race where you have a few more supporters and things like that and you know a lot of people and it's very nice. And I really enjoy the track also. I've had some great experiences there. It's one of the first tracks I ever drove on in a racing car, so I'm looking forward to that.

Felipe, your best result ever at the last Grand Prix, how does that affect you in terms of your spirit and your confidence?
Felipe Massa: I think it's very nice. It gives you more motivation to keep pushing hard, keep working a lot, so it was a good result for us as a team, not just for me in the team, but looking at the championship situation it was a great achievement. Hopefully we can carry on with the same kind of results.

Ferrari were so dominant in the States but can they keep up that impetus?
FMas: For sure, we expect that Renault and McLaren will be a little bit stronger here compared to Indy. We expect that they will come back to fight really hard with us. Hopefully we can manage to stay in front. The second part of the championship will be very tough but everybody in the team is very motivated - drivers, the whole team – so I think that's very important for us to try to be at the front.

Franck, hidden away in the preview of this race was the fact that this is going to be your last race with the team for the moment. I guess you always knew that was going to happen.
Franck Montagny: Yes, sure. I'm quite happy to be here anyway because my last race, initially, was going to be just after Barcelona so I have had some extra races since then so I am quite happy to be part of the race for my home Grand Prix.

What does your home Grand Prix mean to you?
FMon: Well, I think it's the same for everybody. When you come home it's always a little bit better. People speak your language and you get a few more fans and it's a little bit a warmer feeling so it's a little bit better, but it doesn't change so much now, it's the race anyway…

The team's going to have the new car for the next race as well. What difference is that going to make?
FMon: A big one, I believe. For the next race, there's going to be the new car but not the complete new car. There are still some improvements coming in the next two or three events.
