Monaco GP  Monte Carlo May 24:th
Me: When the red lights went off I saw a Sauber on the inside of Johnny, and it was bearly that I could watch it. But it went all well, at least until about ten laps from the end, with points in the bag,  Johnny got in 7:th

Jean Alesi:
" made a great start as usual. I took a risk, and it paid off. You need to do that here. The car felt fine, and it was soon clear that the two-stop strategy that I wanted to use was working really well.
Then, about 12 or so laps before the finish, I lost third gear, then immediately second. A couple of times I thought the car was going to stop, but I managed to keep going by using just fifth and sixth gears, although it was very difficult under braking. On the lap I stopped, I was in fifth gear round the Swimming Pool. When I lifted off the car went straight into neutral and wouldn't engage any gears. I took the steering wheel off and put back on again in an effort to make it work again, in case it was an electronic problem, but it was fruitless. My race was over. I'm very disappointed, because fifth place was easily ours this afternoon.!"

Johnny Herbert:
" thought I'd made a good start, but obviously it wasn't good enough and I got stuck for another race behind Trulli. I was very disappointed to find that my car still lacked the good balance that it had in qualifying, but which we had lost in the morning warm-up. It just wasn't there any more, which is very confusing. I just lacked speed.
I was lucky not to get involved in Wurz's accident. It just looked like he lost it in the tunnel, and there were bits everywhere. It could have been dodgy, but I wasn't hit by anything"
