Q: What exactly happened to you at the start?
JT: �It was just that the launch control didn�t work properly, and when it was time to start, it stalled the engine. It worked until you had to release the clutch, basically, and the clutch just stalled the engine.�

Q: And the same for Heinz?
JT: �Yes, exactly the same. When you stall the engine there is a control, the anti-stall. It worked on his car, but it blew up the gearbox when he shifted up to first. I don�t know exactly what happened, but on my car it didn�t work at all.�

Q: Was it some kind of software glitch?
JT: �Settings, let�s say. We had a problem with settings, because in the morning I reported that we could have this problem. I never stalled, but I said we have many chances to stall.�

Q: You didn�t have a problem in Spain...
JT: �Yes, but unfortunately it wasn�t the same system, and they didn�t choose that system for this race. I wanted the previous one. You just have to set up the system - it�s very easy. But unfortunately I tested the new system only here, so I couldn�t really do a lot about it.�

Q: And in the end you got disqualified because you didn�t see the lights at the pit exit?
JT: �I saw all the lights! But they sent me out, and just told me to ignore it. Probably they didn�t see it or they didn�t realise. There were red lights and flashing blue lights, so you have to wait. But the team said, �Go, go go'.�

Q: Were you annoyed when you found out you were disqualified?
JT: �Well, the race was over for me.�

Q: Monaco was obviously good for you last year. It�s going to be difficult to qualify second again, but do you think you can do well?
JT: �We�ll see. It�s another race, but you cannot say that you can go to Monaco and do a good race. At Monaco you�re driving around walls and guardrails, so you might have some problems or mistakes or whatever. It�s going to be interesting. You just have to see if the car is competitive enough.�

Q: Will the traction control make it easier for everyone?
JT: �Yes, but we�ll see.�
