Preview:
"I think the Grand Prix of Brazil will show the true competitiveness of the top teams as it is a real race circuit with certain difficulties. It has fast corners and slow ones as well and it is bumpy. Therefore, it is very important to find the right set-up. In Interlagos we are able to use for the first time the last tyre development of Goodyear which should help us to be more competitive than last year."

Свободные заезды (пятница):
"I am quite happy with the job we did today as the times do not show our real potential, because I was on old tyres in the later part of the session. I also had quite a heavy fuel load. Goodyear's new tyre is proving to perform very consistently, which will be very important in the race. I expect to be much quicker than tomorrow and I think we can get closer to the McLarens. The protest lodged by our team and five other teams has my full backing, because we must have a clarification about what is allowed within the regulations as far as the technical solutions used by three other teams is concerned."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I had hoped to be in third place on the grid today, but unfortunately things did not go quite according to plan as Heinz-Harald went just a little bit quicker than me right at the end. Before my last run we made a change to the car's set-up, which did not have the expected effect and I was unable to improve my time. It will be very important to make a good start tomorrow. Our tyres should perform better in the race than in qualifying where today, the Bridgestone runners seemed to have an advantage on this track. I think the McLarens will be unbeatable under normal circumstances tomorrow, but we should be able to be the best of the rest."

Гонка (воскресенье):
"I think we did the best we could with the equipment we had today, so there is no reason to be unhappy. I would like to congratulate the team which did a very good job. I made a very bad start but I managed to get past Wurz again. Then I overtook Eddie who was slower than me. It would have made no difference if we had only made one stop and at least we were never threatened for third place, even when the engine stalled during the second pit stop. The team did an excellent job to get me out on the track again as quickly as possible. For Argentina we will have some developments which I hope will allow us to challenge the McLarens as those guys must be falling asleep out there!"
