Having to fight for scraps at the back of the field was hardly the most promising of positions in which to launch Scott Speed's F1 hopes. (LAT photo) » More Photos

Q: What are your thoughts about what happened in the race?

"In this situation, if you look at the facts of the race, the only mistake that was done was by the team in the pit stop. Because Scott and Tonio Liuzzi came from 18th and 19th to coming into the pits in sixth and seventh to change tires. We came into the pit stop, and the mix-up was that I passed Tonio in the last sector, and it took the team one minute and five seconds of pit stop time to figure out how to change the tires on the car. The same exact thing happened to Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, because Kimi missed the pit entry, and they were able to do a pit stop in 30 seconds. So the team made a huge mistake, and no one wants to take the blame for that.

"The fact of the matter is when I came around into Turn One, there was no way I was going to stay on the track. I braked 300 meters before the corner, and I did not start slowing down until I hit the gravel. I was aquaplaning all the way down into the corner like nearly every single driver after Jenson. I can't say I made a mistake, because if I had to do the whole thing again, there was no possible way to realize that was going to happen. It's not just like going off the track a bit, it was like being in a place that was completely unsafe to drive. And after that incident they put the safety car out, and no other car went into Turn One at speed."

Q: Are you worried about your future with the team?

"To be honest, the only thing I'm worried about is my relationship with Red Bull, because obviously Franz Tost and Gerhard Berger have been pushing the same dishonesty to the media, and I'm worried that might have ruined my relationship with Red Bull. Because Red Bull has been amazing to me, and I think we fit together really good, and it's a shame to let these two people ruin the whole thing. As far as my future in F1 is concerned, you couldn't pay me enough money to race for those two people again. If it was with a different team, that would be great, but I would also like to do something else with Red Bull, even if it was outside F1. Like I said, my relationship with Red Bull has been fantastic."

Q: But do you anticipate that there might be a lot of stuff going on in the next week, and you'll end up not driving in Hungary?

"I think with these two, you never know. Everything that's ever happened in the press and the media has always been a surprise, because they do everything behind everyone else's back."

Q: And you're happy that all of this is on record?

"It's the truth, and at the end of the day, I think it's time it came out."
