Every year starts from scratch. I know that I am the one everybody wants to beat. It's like I have a target on my back.

How do Ferrari know what I'm doing next year when I don't know what I'm doing next week?

I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

We have the 2004 M1 here for reference, which is useful. It worked well here last year; we won the race and always did fast lap times so it will be interesting to compare it to the new bike and it will help us to understand which parts have improved.

In 2002 the Yamaha was at more or less the same level as the Honda, better in some ways, worse in others. But in the winter of last year between 2002 and 2003, Honda made a big step forward and it seemed as if Yamaha couldn't quite match that improvement.
