Drivers Comments: Circuit de Catalunya
 
7-9 May – Spanish GP, Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona

Da Matta: “In 2003, this was the circuit that I knew the best by far and the sixth place and our first points of the season highlighted this. Circuit de Catalunya is a fun circuit to drive, very fast and technical. However, it is the most popular venue for testing, so every team has a good idea of the car set-up before even arriving at the track, which means that we have to be on top of things for the whole weekend. We have around three test sessions with the TF104 in Barcelona before the Spanish GP. Only then will we have a clear idea how we will perform, but we got three points last year, so our sights should be set on even more in 2004.”
