Preview:
"It's important to have the front of the car working well at Nurburgring, to find good traction and to achieve aerodynamic efficiency because there is a lot of braking. We will rely on the set-up we used in Austria as a starting point because we expect the car to perform this weekend like it did at the A1-Ring. In Austria we were reasonably pleased - I qualified fifth. If it's wet and cold, as predicted, that should bring an edge to the weekend in general and the Championship in particular."

Свободные заезды (пятница):
"I think everyone was fighting for grip out there today. The track was quite dirty which caused a few cars to go off and the yellow flags were flying. We improved throughout the session but we haven't achieved the overall balance from the car that would lift us up the time sheets. I ran the new chassis for the first time which will take a little while to bed in. Tyre durability will be important if the weather stays as hot as it was today."

Квалификация (суббота):
"We improved the car as the session went on which is a credit to the crew's efforts. However, we probably went a step too far in our search for the optimum set-up towards the end of the session which brought about a bit of understeer but generally the balance of the car is pretty good. If you consider that it could rain tomorrow, twelfth rburgring in a wet race gives us a chance."

Гонка (воскресение):
"I was fighting for grip for most of the race which meant that I couldn't improve my position as I would have liked. I was involved in a battle with both Saubers soon after the start but I was forced to run over the kerbs at the chicane to avoid Jean Alesi and Johnny Herbert also took advantage. The car seemed to perform at its best after about 20 laps and just before my first stop it was handling better but the Saubers were out of reach. It wasn't one of my most enjoyable races."
