Sveiki,
sorry, kad as vel angsliskai, bet isversti nera laiko, o nurodyti saltini - negaliu (reikia tureti accounta).
Taigi, Kolumbijos leidinys El Tempo klausinejo JPM apie ivairiausius dalykus, atsakymai tikrai idomus ir pakankamai subrende...

* JP, is it true that they already made your seat for the 2005 Mc laren?
Yes, they made a mold for the seat. Everything will be different in the car: the steering wheel, the buttons and body position. I will have to start from zero.
* If you are in a Williams and in the next race you have in front a Mc Laren, do you like not being a*** to catch him?
Not at all. I want to win and this year I run against them. I go 100% to win who ever it takes to.
* You always said you were never interested in going out for dinner with Ralf Shumacher. Do you see yourself dinning out with Raikkonen next year?
Yes, maybe. He is fun and a nice guy. We sometimes hang around in the pits.
* In long term could you be running a Ferrari?
I can’t say “no” at this time. But not for now
* Is getting into F1 your maximum goal?
No, one is getting here and win races, and the second is becoming WDC. I still have that one to achieve.
* What is the most asked question by journalists?
Until a couple of races ago, it was if I regret to sign with Mc Laren, and why I was not doing well at Williams.
* If you don’t win a race this year, would you feel frustrated?
No. I’m happy with my work. We don’t have a car to win, but I have driven better than in the previous years. In Silverstone I drove like never in my race career, but was 5th. With a good car I would have won. But in sports the result is what counts.
* When was the last time you were afraid?
When I crashed in France about 20 days ago, the first day of practices. I was afraid when I opened my eyes after the crash. I thought that the car was stopped, but it was in the air spinning.
* What are the mistakes at Williams?
I’m not with the theory to blame the team. The idea is to make as fewest mistakes as possi***. I have my quota too. From Malaysia to France the car showed the same performance.
* Who will be Williams’s drivers next year?
That’s not my business. I hope they are two who drive slower than me.
* Can MS be beaten?
Yes, he can be beaten, as we did last year. Today’s Ferrari no1. Michael is not a superhero, but that team does have a lot. For the sport is good to break records, as Michael does, it’s part of the game.
* Santiago Botero (Colombian Biker), Fabiola Zuluaga (Colombian tennis player) and many other Colombian sportists admire you. Do you admire them as well?
I certainly admire them. I think Fabiola is a “Berraca” (Colombian word for “super”). I respect what she does. Botero is also great, I’m sorry he’s thinking about retirement. In Colombia there’s great people.
* What are your goals for the rest of the year?
Give my very best
* How is a perfect Sunday afternoon?
Start first, fastest lap, and winning. Want to know how is a perfect Monday? Quiet breakfast, drive motorcycles, exercising, play golf, being with my wife…
* How are your ideal vacations?
Many toys. As long as I have plenty of them, the place is not important
* What are you going to be first? Father or WDC?
Great question…
