"The track conditions were quite good today, apart from a following wind that made the car feel a little bit unstable coming into the final corner. The track seems to be less bumpy than last year, but that might be something to do with our car set-up. It is difficult to say how competitive we are as I ran all the time with a heavy fuel load. I went off a few times, which can happen here as you are often braking from very high speed into slow corners. Today it is too early to reach any conclusion about the new Goodyears."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I am very disappointed with my worst qualifying of the season. I lost a lot of set-up time because of my spin this morning and so we had to do some of that work in qualifying. However, we went the wrong way on the settings and I had no traction. Then I tried Michael's settings, but that gave me too much understeer. We made more changes but they did not work either. I should have been ahead of the Williams. It is difficult to overtake here, so in the race I will be going for points. You never know what can happen: in Monaco I qualified seventh and was on the podium, so we have to look on the bright side."

"I was very fortunate today. I was in the middle of the first accident and did not get hit and again, I was in the middle of the second and just had my rear tyre sliced by someone's front wing. At first I thought I had broken my suspension but when the team changed the tyres everything was fine. As the safety-car was out I did not lose a lap, but myself and Wurz spent many laps trying to get past a Minardi. I made my job difficult this weekend by spinning off a couple of times in practice so I am very happy with my fourth podium of the season. Michael showed today what can happened when we put the McLarens under pressure. As usual my mechanics did a great job to get me out of the pits so quickly and our strategy was just right, the team telling me to push so I came out of the pits 2 seconds ahead of Wurz."
