Andreas Zuber: It’s like my second birthday!

GP2 Series: Andreas, before the race you said you were going to go for the win, and you got it. How happy are you?
Andreas Zuber:
This is like my second birthday, really! I had a great start, but I made a little mistake in the third lap so Carroll closed up to me. I had a little bit of pressure at the beginning but five laps from the end he had some problems, he lost two or three seconds and then Lewis overtook him. So yeah, I had not a simple race, but I didn't really make a mistake and I'm very happy. The car was fantastic.

GP2 Series: Yesterday you said you had trouble getting past Adam, but today it was the other way round. Did you change much overnight on the car?
Andreas:
We were working very hard over night and we knew the problems from yesterday and we fixed them for today and we had good straight line speed. The team did a great job.

GP2 Series: It's the third victory for the team in only its first year of competition. How much of a good job have they done this season in your eyes?
Andreas:
I think that this team, Trident Racing, really lives for racing. You can feel their commitment. For example, we knew we were quick yesterday but not quick enough in the race. We knew it was possible to win today and the team worked so hard to make sure it was right. The whole year they've done a great job, just for me it's hard for a rookie which is why we sometimes went wrong on the set-up. But now, this is the first weekend where everything for me was perfect and we won.

GP2 Series: It was a tough start to the season for you but things are certainly looking brighter now.
Andreas:
It was a very difficult season for me. We had a lot of bad luck, so it was really hard for me. But now this is just unbelievable to win.
