Свободные заезды (пятница):
"I am very happy with the balance of the car. I am able to set consistent lap times which means I can work harder on improving the car's set up. Until now there was not much consistency lap to lap, but now I feel I can really push and get some improvement. On my last run it felt really good and I would have made a really good time if it were not for the yellow flag. The modifications we have made to the car for this race are certainly working and I think we are chipping away and getting there slowly."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I am so much more encouraged by this result. Both cars look so much better and the difference has been very obvious this weekend as we have been consistently able to run close to the front. I would have liked to have held on to the fourth place I had in this morning's practice, but the competition is very tight and I don't think we should be disappointed with 7th. Unfortunately my engine blew just after I had finished section one of my final timed lap. I am really able to work with the car now, which bodes well for the race tomorrow - I am certainly far more optimistic about our race performance than I have been in the first three races. Basically it is a much nicer, more driveable car, and if we could win some points tomorrow we would all be very happy."

Гонка (воскресенье):
"We did not come away with any points, but the performance today undoubtedly backs up what we have been saying all weekend. We needed to prove we have a car which is competitive, and we did that. I want to show people that I am here to fight to win, and I now know that I can do that with Jordan and Honda.
"I made quite a good start but then Wurz's car misfired half way between the start and the first corner and I was just too close and could not help but go into him. I hit the right front of my car on his left rear and had to come in to replace the front wing. At the end I had a problem with air pressure on the engine so I had to retire.
"Overall the weekend has been very encouraging and we showed that the car is a lot better. We qualified better and raced far better than we have so far this season. If I can qualify the car further up the grid, then podium finishes are definitely within our grasp."
