Свободные заезды (пятница):
"Not bad for a first day. I am pleased my time is so close to Michael's and the
car feels well balanced, without the understeer I used to have here in previous years. I
did not take any risks as Monaco is all about doing as many laps as possible and getting
into a rhythm. It takes a while to get your eye in here and towards the end I hit the
barrier a couple of times. I never ran with new tyres and little fuel so the times mean
nothing. For Saturday we need to find some more grip and tyre choice will be critical."
Квалификация (суббота):
"I was on a very good lap when I had my accident, but I lost control of the back
end of the car and went into the tyres. I do not think I have hurt myself but I might be a
bit stiff tomorrow. Once Michael's race car became the spare car it was changed to my
settings. I knew I only had one 3 lap run on which I managed to improve but it was not
enough. On the positive side, I am on the right tyres for the race and the car is very
good in race trim. But the hard part will be getting past Frentzen as I think he is on
soft tyres."
Гонка (воскресенье):
"I am very happy to be third but not so happy with the performance of the car.
Before the start I was worried that I would be stuck behind Frentzen as he was on soft
tyres. After the first few laps I could close on him and I had seen he was weakest at the
hairpin. I picked my moment and went down the inside. We made contact, but I was able to
keep going. I was worried my car was damaged as we hit quite hard but after the next
couple of corners I realised everything was alright. Once I got past him I had a lonely
race. I pushed hard to keep up with Wurz, but I could not catch him. I left my pit-stop
very late as I started with a big fuel load. I continued to push hard not to lose
concentration and only backed off in the last few laps. We tested new tyres at Magny-Cours
last week and I think we can go a lot better in Canada. I must say this car is fantastic
to drive and I have never had so much fun driving here as I did over this weekend. Now we
must improve the performance level."
