Из высказываний
Свободные заезды (пятница):
"The car wasn't quite what I wanted it to be today. Though it was understeering
this morning we did seem to improve it, but the track was changing all the time so it was
difficult to be certain. Overall I'm encouraged, especially as my quickest lap was my
last, and I was running on well used rubber."
Квалификация (суббота):
"When I went out for my last run I knew that Jean was already on a fast lap so I
kept looking for him in the mirrors ready to let him go by. Eventually he came past but by
then the temperature in my tyres had dropped because I was running slowly, and that made
me run wide in the first corner on my flying lap. That in turn put me on to the wet
section of track, which dropped the temperature of the intermediates further, so I
couldn't improve. It was a real shame, because the car had been very good on my first run,
when I was eigth just ahead of him. But in the circumstances it was important to be a team
player, and I'd like to congratulate Jean on a great performance, and the team on its
first front-row grid position."
Гонка (воскресение):
"Since I was starting so far back I decided to let everyone get the madness out of
their systems and to stay out of trouble. That worked as far as the first corner, where
one of the Minardis just came flying into my vision and shoved me into the gravel. The car
was okay and I was lucky not to lose any real time as the safety car came out, but from
then on I had to put up with stones and gravel rattling round the cockpit, and lodging
behind my back. That wasn't comfortable!
"Our single stop strategy worked okay, but even though I tried very hard to save
my tyres, the understeer that plagued me this morning kept coming back. It was thus a case
of pushing hard for a few laps, trying to let the tyres cool, and then pushing again when
the grip came back. "
