"This morning was one of those when it was better to have stayed in bed. I was on my installation lap when I came across Johnny who was also on his. Unfortunately I misjudged his speed and ran into him, damaging both cars. My fault. I'm sorry.
"I was lucky that the conditions dried out partway through this afternoon's session, and I was able to get a reasonable time. But the car is still understeering too much for my liking."

������������ (�������):
"I know I have been complaining about too much understeer recently, but today my problem was the opposite. We went the wrong way on set-up today after my difficulties yesterday put us on the wrong foot. My big problem this afternoon was just too much oversteer."

����� (�����������):
"It is wonderful to work with a team in which the race strategy is agreed by the engineers and the driver. There was a little bit of surprise when I suggested two stops, but is was agreed, no problem. I knew because of that I needed a good start, and I got one that let me push very hard.
"My only problem was when I caught my right-hand winglet on the Arrows refuelling equipment in my first stop. In this circuit you pick up grip all through the race and for sure it would have been better to have both wings. But my pit stops were fantastic, especially when my crew got me out ahead of Villeneuve and Coulthard after the second. That made all the difference.
"I am very, very happy with today's result, from fastest time in this morning's warm-up to fifth place this afternoon. It was a fantastic performance by the team that fills me with great hope for the rest of the season."
