The F1’s official FIA Press Conferences are the traditional home of ‘for sure’, ‘the team’s done an amazing job’ and ‘we’re investigating that’, but what lies behind the platitudes? F1i reckons it has the answer…
Thursday 17 September 2015 – Drivers’ Press Conference Singapore
The Question: Looking ahead to 2016: your thoughts on that? Obviously, you’re wanting to see what’s going to happen with Renault and the Lotus deal that’s been discussed a lot – but if that didn’t happen, would you consider… your name has been linked with the Haas team, for example, is that something you would consider?
What Romain said:
I think the other thing I can tell you is that my decision is… I’ve made my decision, everything is clear in my head and I know what’s going to happen for me in the future – but if you don’t mind I won’t tell you any more.
What he might have meant to say:
Yes, I can tell you that I have made my decisions…. Everything is clear in my head, I know what’s going to happen for me in the future. Of course, the fact that I have made my decision doesn’t necessarily mean that anybody else is willing to go along with it but you’ve got to keep a positive attitude haven’t you.
