Свободные заезды (пятница):
"We spent today trying to get the car to handle correctly. I think initially we had it set too stiffly, which made it difficult to drive. That is why I spun a couple of times. Unfortunately, the engine stalled following my first spin and I lost most of the morning session as a result. We made a number of set-up changes during the break, and the situation improved this afternoon. We still need to get the car to cope better with the bumps here, however, if we are to set a good time in qualifying. We will work with the engineers overnight and hopefully we will be able to find a good chassis set-up for tomorrow."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I am disappointed because I feel I could have got a better result. I was quite comfortable with the low-downforce set-up we were using today, but then the car got away from me at the first corner and hit the barriers hard. I returned to the garage and went out in the spare car, but couldn't better the time I did in my first run. We have what I think will be a good race set-up, so we will concentrate on fine-tuning that in the warm-up tomorrow morning. If I am able to avoid accidents and we have good pit stops, I think there is a chance of getting a good result."

Гонка (воскресение):
"It was good to be able to race against the 1997 Tyrrell drivers, Mika Salo and Jos Verstappen, for much of this afternoon. Thanks to good pit work by the team, I came out ahead of Mika after my pit stop and then really enjoyed being able to race with him. Two laps before the chequered flag, Michael Schumacher overtook me going into one of the chicanes. I lost downforce briefly as a result, locked up a front wheel and went straight across the chicane, fortunately without doing any damage. I kept up the pressure on Mika and eventually re-passed him on the last lap just after the third chicane.
"Overall, it feels good to have finished well after yesterday's big shunt. My race engineer, David Brown, told me on the grid this afternoon to bring the car back in one piece, and I did, so I'm happy. In Hungary, if we find a good chassis set-up, we could be in even better shape than we have been here. What I really want now is to score my first World Championship point."
