Mika Salo's lap of Interlagos

"From a driver's perspective Interlagos means one thing: bumps. All around the lap ripples in the tarmac unsettle the car which are made even more treacherous if it's wet. It's a pity because the actual lay-out of the track is quite nice with a good mix of fast and slow corners and undulations. You can find a good rhythm. It's also a racer's track because there is an excellent overtaking place at the end of the pitstraight. The track is wide and you have just been sitting in someone's slipstream for the previous 10 seconds... trust me it's easy!"
