Last night the MaMa Racing Team came together to talk about the problems which occured before and during the Malaysian Grand Prix. During a three hour meeting, both drivers, Leon Verheggen and Erdem Coban, and the teammanager Luc Lissens have come to a clear agreement.

Coban: "Luc and Leon had some small problems about the communication. I am very glad they solved it today, so we can all concentrate on one thing and that is where we best at: racing!"

After Luc Lissens had shown his disappointment with Leon to the press, the Dutch driver immediately responded with his unhappiness within the team.

The press was excited with the 'fight' that was going on within in the team. They eagerly waited for some statements of all sides in the press conference afterwards.

Verheggen had the next words for the press after the meeting: "I regret the fact that this whole problem caused some comotion within the team, but I am glad, after a good conversation with Luc, that everything is ok again."

Luc Lissens: "I am very glad and relieved that we were able to solve this little problem and I have decided not to give him a penalty, unlike I said before."

When the press asked if Leon was going to race in Brazil the driver answered: "Yes...that is my idea, haha. But seriously, I am going to do my best in Brazil for the MaMa Racing Team. Brazil is a circuit I like, I believe it will not be so hard for me and looking at the performances of Erdem in the first two races, I think I can do the same. I don't know the circuit very well and it is also not my favourite track, in contrast with Erdem, but I think that we both can make some top 10 results, especially during the race and I will show the team what I am made of. I look forward to it!"

Lissens: "I am glad Leon stays with the team. I hope he can get a good result in Brazil. Well, from both drivers actually. I think they can push each other to high limits. I look forward to see Leon driving for the first time my car in Brazil."
