Свободные заезды (пятница):
"Today my car was very difficult to drive, but I can not tell exactly what was not working. This track is very demanding and very long and there are many corners where it is easy to loose worthy hundreths. We must check the telemetry figures, in order to make a right balance of the situation."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I had to finish my today's qualifying with the T-car, as the one I was using stopped when half of the time had passed and I had completed 6 laps. The engine stopped, I could not tell for which reason: suddenly it lost power. I ran back to the box, luckily I was at the Blanchimont turn, which is not that far away. I am sorry because, without all this trouble, I could have maybe scored a slightly better time."

Гонка (воскресение):
"I made quite good start, overtaking Rosset, then I saw some pieces of wings in front of me, and I braked. I was sure I could avoid them, but - unfortunately - Salo hit the barrier and came back to the track hitting me. So I had to take the T-car, whose set-up was slightly different from my race car's, in fact the car was more difficult to drive. From the beginning of the race I had too much oversteer, especially when the track became dry, so I could not improve the time. I was behind Trulli when, after the first pit-stop, Fisichella made a mistake and hit me, so I had to go back to the box and change the back wing and several other rearsuspension parts, but the team did a good job, allowing me to go out again and finish this very difficult race. I was eighth, but it's a shame because, with a little more luck, I could have ended up in the points."
