Preview:
"Its a very nice and driveable street circuit. It can get very difficult to get a grip on the tyres for the first two days, as the surface is very dirty and the track is mainly used for rollerblading. Its a great place to start off the F1 season, although it may well be a difficult and challenging race."

Friday Free Practice:
"We were really unlucky with the weather today. Everytime I got out of the garage it started raining and everytime I got back it stopped. I have not experienced any problems with my car and managed to get a 3-lap run completed this afternoon, although the track was still wet. The car feels good and although there are still a few problems to be fixed, I am sure the performance will improve and we will be quick."

Saturday Qualifying:
"It is very annoying to sit in the car and you can't get it on the rack. I only had one flying lap without problems. We haven't been able to balance the car yet and everytime we go out there we seem to face new problems. If I would not have had problems I am sure I could have improved on my time. I think we can use tomorrow as a good test day for the future."

Sunday Race:
"I had a problem from the start, when I could not select the first gear, but I still managed to be quick and pass several cars at the start of the race. The car felt really good during the race until my first pitstop, when it jumped out of gear and I lost the drive I decided to retire rather than do any more damage. The car is very quick when it runs right and I look forward to some more testing prior to Brazil to get reliability."
