Waht can I say? In the past we had no rules, and drivers could zigzag and block
and nothing was done. But now we have a Commission which watches us specifically, to see
that what we do is corect. I don't know what happened to Trulli before he hit me, and I
don't particularly care, but every start it seems he does something like this. There are
people whose job it is to judge drivers like this, and it is time that they give them some
really heavy sentences.
Pedro Diniz:
I made a great start and was 10th at the end of the first lap. Things went pretty well up
until the safety car came out for the second time, but then I lost two places, to Ralf and
Johnny, on the restart. I lost out when I tried to take advantage as Ralf went into the
gravel momentarily. That was real shame, but after starting 18th, finishing sixth isn't so
bad, especially after the weekend got off to a difficult start on Friday morning.
Peter Sauber:
Pedro made an excellent start and drove a great race to score his first point for us. This
was very important for him and for the team. Jean had high expectations today and felt
very optimistic, but the accident with Trulli needs no further explanation. I hope that
the FIA will punish him so hard that he will come to his senses for further races. Since
Barcelona the team has produced a competitive car, and for this they have my compliments.
Saturday
Sorry saturdays comments are lost in translation I will bring them as sonn as possible
Friday
Jean Alesi:
Today I enjoyed myself very much, maybe because it is my birthday! The car felt very good,
even when we tried it in a number of different conditions. I don't know yet whether we
have found the right one for tomorrorw, but I'm optimistic because it felt good whatever
we tried today. This afternoon I had a few adventures, but that's because I really like
this type of circuit, where you can work on the limit and overstep it at times without
risking damage.
Pedro Diniz:
This morning the car seemed pretty competitive, but as I went down to the first turn at
around 290 kph I had a brake probelm. My car was launched over the kerb and flew backwards
into the gravel trap, before hitting the tyre wall hard. It was a pretty frightening
experience! I hurt my neck a little and banged my knees, but otherwise I'm fine and
looking forward to tomorrow.
Peter Sauber:
Congratulations to Jean for fourth fastest time and because it's his birthday, but let's
remember this is Friday. Nevertheless, I think we are able to continue the positive trend
we showed in Barcelona. Unfortunately, Pedro was only able to do a few laps because of his
crash this morning. |
