○2002年第4戦サンマリノGP



プレビュー
"I can already feel more power and top end so I am hopeful for the next races. Honda is working hard to make the engine even better and I am sure they will get there. Things have been busy after Brazil as we flew straight back to Europe and immediately to Valencia, so I have had just a few days at home to relax and work on fitness before I go to Imola. I am really looking forward to racing in Italy because I know what the atmosphere will be like there. Another reason I expect to enjoy my stay in San Marino is that I love Italian food!"

プラクティスレポート
"I felt very comfortable with the car. And in the full wet conditions first thing this morning but as the track dried out and I found things a lot more difficult as it was hard to get traction and braking stability."

クォリファイレポート
"The qualifying position is naturally disappointing, but I must say that I am satisfied with my performance as I honestly feel I did all I could do today, he said. The fact is that we need to push hard to improve our competitiveness. The latest evolution engine is definitely better at the top end and has better torque. Acqua Minerale was slightly damp at the start of the hour but it dried out during the session and I was able to improve my lap time on each outing. For tomorrow, if I can make up places in the race as I did in Brazil I will be happy."

レースレポート
"A disappointing end to the weekend. "I was on my fourth lap with everything working fine until then, when suddenly I felt a problem with the gear which left me stuck in first gear. I made it back to the pits and the team tried to set the electrics, but the same problem re-occurred as soon as I went out so I had to pull over and retire from the race."
