○2002年第8戦カナダGP



プレビュー
"I've spent a day and half testing in the changeable weather at Silverstone and we have done a few things in preparation for the Canadian Grand Prix. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at Montreal is one of the F1 circuits that I have never been to, and I am looking forward to racing there."

プラクティスレポート
"It was difficult day for me. I had a late start due to trouble with our initial set-up which took nearly 10 minutes to fix. Then we had problems with the electrical systems which spoilt my first session although we were able to carry out back-to-back brake tests for the race, which gave us some positive data. The afternoon was okay until we put on a new set of tyres, which created more set-up work and unfortunately we have not yet got the perfect balance. Finally, ten minutes before the end of the session, my exhaust pipe broke and put a stop to any more timed laps."

クォリファイレポート
"Of course I'm disappointed because I could have got a better position than this. I was going well on my second run as we had improved the set-up and at the stage when my engine failed I was only three tenths behind Giancarlo and in P9. I had to run back to the pit lane to get in the T-car but it had a slightly different set-up. We made changes, ready for a final run, but it started to rain and I had no time to better my fastest lap."

レースレポート
"I'm pleased to bring the car home and I would like to congratulate Giancarlo on scoring two points. I had a difficult start, losing a position at the first corner but later I really enjoyed overtaking the BAR and the Jaguar. We took the opportunity to pit when the safety car came out, but my second set of tyres didn't behave quite the same as the first set and I lost almost a second a lap, struggling with oversteer. The last stint was okay and I was in good shape to push very hard. It's reassuring to know that we have consistent reliability and now I'm looking forward because although tenth isn't bad, I hope to score points soon."
