○2002年第14戦ベルギーGP



プレビュー
"I am really looking forward to Spa. Like most drivers, it is one of my favorite circuits and I have raced there before in F3 with many good memories. So I know the circuit well and this is the sort of track that I love - fast, challenging and lots of up-and-down. It often rains in Spa, and it might give us an advantage, as we are normally in strong shape during wet conditions. It's gonna be a very exciting weekend for me, that's for sure."

プラクティスレポート
"I was really looking forward to coming back to Spa, driving here for the first time in Formula One because I have such good memories here from Formula 3 days. In the first session we immediately had good pace. This is a great circuit and it was fantastic to drive through Eau Rouge. It was unfortunate that we only had 30 minutes for the first session and in the second session we couldn't get the car and tyre balance quite right. We were in the process of trying to improve it when the engine blew, which was a shame. We're working hard and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day."

クォリファイレポート
"It was a tough qualifying for both of us. The car didn't feel too bad, although we needed some more stability and grip. Even so, we pushed the car set-up to the limit and it still wasn't enough to get a good position. At such a great circuit that's a shame but tomorrow we have another chance."

レースレポート
"It has been a tough weekend for us. I had quite a difficult start, I don't know why yet because I haven't seen any data, but the car was quite nervous everywhere, oversteering and hopping around a lot and costing me quite a few seconds. At the first pit stop, the tyre change took a really long time, which was a shame, although the second and third stints were better. Spa is great fun to drive so it's a shame we didn't have better results, but this is motor racing and you have to fight back."
