Q: With Danica’s struggles at Surfers Paradise, do you think this is a sign of things to come for her when she drives in A1GP or do you just chalk it up as a bad week and no big deal?

RM: I think she and Marco need all the road racing practice they can get and I’m sure A1GP will be an eye-opener for both of them. Her performance last weekend at Surfers was easily the worst of her IndyCar career – in every way. I’ve been her biggest supporter for the past five years but she’s really regressed this season and that’s not a good trend for a 26-year-old.
