Preview:
"I am still recuperating from a stiff neck and shoulders from last race weekend's crash, but feeling much better. I was more injured mentally, as I felt really bad about myself and the team not being able to compete in the race after all the work and effort. Monza is a good track with lots of straights and some useful corners. The atmosphere is always great and I look forward to using our new D-spec engine during qualifying, which I am sure will enhance our performance."

Свободные заезды (пятница):
"My car developed a fuel pressure problem during the morning session, which prevented me to compete any further, During the second session I had a very unbalanced car and when it started to rain there was no point to just go round and around in the wet, as it most probably won't rain during the race. Not a very good day for me, but at least I am not bruised."

Квалификация (суббота):
"We had a good strategy, waiting for the track to become drier. It was our first dry lap and the car therefore wasn't very well balanced also we had some brake problems. We had very difficult conditions and we had no information about tyres or car set-up. There is quite a lot of work to be done before tomorrow's race."

Гонка (воскресение):
"I didn't have a very good start, almost stalled twice and I then decided not to rush into the first corner and to take it easy for half a lap, after that the car was really good to drive. I was racing with Hill and Frentzen all the time until I retired on the track with a throttle problem."
