maneuvers to gain some places, but he was never really close to get into the points, he
finished 9th.Qualifying

Italy 1998
Jean's words after the 1998 Italian GP:
"I made a great start, but going into the first chicane I lost a bit of momentum
because I had to avoid Michael (Schumacher), who had not made such a good start. But once
I got back into the rhythm I could run strongly.
This morning I had done a back-to-back run with my race car and the spare, and I preferred
the spare, which was the chassis I used originally on Friday. I got a nice surprise,
because it felt a lot better. I had a car I could race, and it was very, very good. I am
happy with fifth place and more championship points for the team" |
