The Maurice Hamiltom interview - Jean Alesi (F1 Racing - 2011.09).pdf
Из этого интервью (не нашёл времени сразу процитировать):JA: I have many stories about my time with Ken
but the one I like most happened at Monza in
1989. It was my fifth race in F1, it was raining in
Friday practice and nobody was going out. Ken
asked if I wanted a try. At Curva Grande, I spun
360° at 186mph. But I didn’t touch anything.
I came back to the box and Ken asked if
everything was okay. I said: “Yeah, it’s a bit wet,
I prefer to wait.” There was no telemetry back
then of course, but Ken could tell something was
wrong. He came back and asked if something
had happened. I said: “Well, I had a small spin.”
He said: “Okay, we have a T-car, so don’t worry.
Go out and get some confidence with the car." It
was unbelievable: basically, he was saying "Okay,
you can go and crash!" But he gave me a lot of
confidence because that spin really scared me.
He understood something had happened.
MH: You were working with Harvey
Postlethwaite [the 019's designer], who was a
very clever guy: very British. He told me a story
about you at Monza in 1990. You knew that car
was going to go well there and, in qualifying...
JA: I remember! Qualifying tyres were good for
one lap and then they’d be finished. We had
Pirellis and you could have them shaved so they
would be good for another lap. Because of that,
they wanted me to wait...
MH: The way Harvey described it to me was:
“So we agreed with Jean what we would do. Jean
said: 'Yes, yes, okay; we wait.’ So I’m standing at
the pitwall, with my back to the garage, and
I hear an engine start behind me. I turn around
- and Jean's gone!"
JA: [Laughing] That was my weakest point. No
patience. Especially in qualifying. I wanted to do
it now, now, now! I didn’t care if the track would
be faster later. The car was so good. I had to do it.
MH: Your enthusiasm is absolutely incredible.
You've always had that.
JA: Always... always.
MH: Okay, let's move on to
something more positive; your
win in Canada in 1995. How do
you look upon that now?
JA: It released the pressure
in me. Finally I had won and
I could tell myself everything
would get better. So it was a
very good feeling. But it was not
an exciting feeling like when I
finished second with the Tyrrell in
Phoenix 1990 (after fighting for the
lead with Ayrton Senna’s McLaren).
It was totally different. During the
last laps in Canada, I was really taking
care. I wanted to cross the line. It felt like an
endurance race.
MH: At least in Montreal, there was a good
atmosphere. A lot o f Ferrari fans come to this
race from North America.
JA: When I was leading, the fans watching in
the grandstands just exploded! The first win for
Gilles Villeneuve was in Canada in a Ferrari and,
for me, it was my first win and I was also in a
Ferrari. So, the people link Gilles Villeneuve and
my win. They seemed to adopt me after that.
