"It was just a normal Friday of a Grand Prix weekend really. I worked with my engineer on chassis balance and we did a back-to-back comparison of the Goodyear Prime and Option tyres available for this race. Initially, the track surface was wet this morning, but it soon dried out and we were able to do virtually all our running on dry tyres. I could have got a better time today, but I was caught behind other cars on one of my quick laps. I like Spa. It's a tremendously challenging circuit with high-speed corners and long straights - just the sort of place where you can really feel the power and performance of a Formula One car."

Квалификация (суббота):
"Like Tora, I would have preferred to be a little higher up the field, but this is a circuit where horsepower really counts. I think the prospects for the race are promising, though, since less than a second covers the next seven cars in front of me. If the car continues to run reliably and we have good pit stops, I think there is the possibility for a good finish."

Гонка (воскресение):
"At the start, there was just so much spray, I couldn't see anything. I managed to get around the first corner and started to accelerate down the hill but almost immediately saw pieces of wreckage on the track. I guessed there had been an accident and started to slow, but it was too late and I piled into a mass of cars that were crashing everywhere. I hit my elbow in the collision but would have been able to take the restart. Unfortunately, my car was too badly damaged to be repaired in the time available. The spare car was prepared for Tora this weekend so I had no choice but to sit the race out. It's a shame because my car was good in the wet during the morning warm-up and I think we could have done well."
