Me:
Two good starts an two times run over :-( Dispite that this happens you just can't feel it's a bit 'too much' for one weekend. Well French GP is home ground to Jean and mabye that will be a X-tra spark!

Jean Alesi:
"The trick at starts is to know when you have achieved enough, not to be greedy and try to pass too many people. There are some youger drivers who do not seem to understand this ! I made a good first start, but then the next thing I knew was Wurz's Benetton rolling across the top of me.
I made another good start the second time, but then Irvine moved accross and his wheel hit my nose and took it off. Then I felt another bump and suddenly I had Trulli sitting on top of me. Each time there was nothing that I could do, and that makes it all the more frustating because this was the sort of race to have taken points from.."

Johnny Herbert:
"After I bent a trackrod in the accident with Jean and Wurz, I thought for a while I would'nt be racing at all today !
I began the restart from the pits, and it says everything that I was up to 13th at the end of the lap. But my car was slow on the straight and I really struggled to pass Rosset and Nakano. Magnussen was also very quick on the straight, but slow on the corners. I could have stayed behind him, but it's my job to try and pass. When I did, I spun at the hairpins as the vack just slid round on me. I'd been unhappy with the quality of the downchanges, and maybe that was a contributory factor. Though I didn't stall I couldn't get a gear to restart, so that was it, race over.."
