Preview:
"For me, and I'm sure I speak for most of the drivers, Spa is one of the greatest circuits in the world. It has a perfect mixture of fast straights, fast corners and tricky hairpins and accelerating through Eau Rouge always gets the adrenaline pumping."

Свободные заезды (пятница):
"A fairly uneventful day for me; I had one spin at La Source and I aborted my run on new tyres at the end of practice as the balance didn't feel quite right. We did however do some useful set up work."

Квалификация (суббота):
"Of course it is a bit disappointing to have led all through the session and to have lost pole position on the final run but it is always good to be on the front row of the grid. I know exactly where I lost the time; I was up on the lap in my final run and tried to sneak a bit more curb going into the bus-stop, unfortunately though it didn't work out. That said , we have got the car working well here and it means you can play with the car and it makes it a great adventure. This is one of the qualifying session you would like to go on and on."

Гонка (воскресение):
"In the initial start of the race I was hit from behind after the hairpin which turned me violently right and into the wall. I was a passenger from then on as the car spun and was hit again in the ensuing mayhem. Fortunately the team was able to prepare the T car for me and I managed to get out onto the grid for the re-start. After a few laps following the second start I called the team over the radio several times asking for the safety car to be brought out as I could see the situation was very dangerous and that a lot of cars were going off. Several laps later, having stopped for full wets, I was informed from the pit wall that Schumacher was behind me and I was told at turn seven to let him by. At the exit of turn nine I kept right to let him go and the next thing I know he is running into the back of me."
