Свободные заезды (пятница):
"We devised a programme which worked on the balance of the car for tomorrow and the race. Once all the teams are in the same condition for qualifying we will know exactly where we stand."

Квалификация (суббота):
"I am happy to be third on the grid because I have continued to improve throughout the weekend and I am now significantly quicker than Irvine. I am loosing some time through the first sector but as I only managed one proper run in qualifying there is plenty of scope for improvement."

Гонка (воскресение):
"I spun the wheels at the start which allowed Frentzen to get ahead of me. I needed to finish the race in order to gain points for the Constructors Championship and make sure that I was available to support Mika so I didn't attack Frentzen as much as I would have normally. However, the team kept me aware of where Michael was and I could measure my pace. I am pleased that Mika is World Champion and I believe that I have contributed to that result. I would just like to thank and congratulate everyone at McLaren and Mercedes both those at the track and those back at the factory."
