Свободные заезды (пятница):
"My car was much better this afternoon than it was this morning but I was still not happy with its behaviour under braking, when it felt very unstable, and the traction was also poor. we have a lot of thinking to do on the set-up."

Квалификация (суббота):
"As usual in qualifying it was very difficult to get everything done tht we wanted to, but in the circumstances I am happy with my best lap. As I said this morning, it was always going to be very close from fifth place downwards, and so it proved. My car was a lot better than it felt yesterday, and my only real mechanical problem was a leaking brake at the end of the session. We have done sufficient running this morning on full tanks to confirm that we have a good balance in such configuration, so I am looking forward to a good race tomorrow."

Гонка (воскресение):
"This is a fantastic result for the team! All season our performance has been getting better, but whenever we have been on the verge of a strong result something has always gone wrong up until now. The level of competition has been tougher than ever, and the disappointments have been difficult to take. This result makes up for all that.
"I was lucky to avoid the problems at the first start, and when the race really got going I had to concentrate very hard because the conditions were so difficult. It was raining in a different way on different part of the circuit, and especially on the intermediates on which I started I had to be very careful. When we switched to full wets it was easier, but throughout the visibility was terrible.
"To be honest I was surprised when the safety car pulled off again towards the end, because there were cars parked either side of the track and it was very easy to aquaplane in many places. Towards the end I could run at the same speed as the two Jordans just ahead of me, but it was absolutely impossible to try anything because the visibility was so bad. I was thinking of points, nothing else."
