○2002年第17戦日本GP



プレビュー
"Since then my heart was always in F1, but I never had the chance to enter racing because you need outside help from a lot of people. Finally, ten years later, I seized an opportunity and went to the Suzuka Racing School. I was 20 years old, which was the upper age limit, and I was so pleased to grab that last chance. Fortunately I was the fastest and won a scholarship which started my racing career."

プラクティスレポート
"Not bad. It's always nice to have a run in front of a big crowd and the massive support here is very good. The car is working okay but Suzuka is so technically challenging for the tyres and chassis setup, it's difficult to get the balance. We found a decent set-up today and we'll carry on the work tomorrow."

クォリファイレポート
"I'm so happy. That was my best qualifying result all season and one of my best moments in a Formula One car. The team made a great recovery after a difficult morning with my engine problem. The mechanics did really well and James, my engineer, did a brilliant job. The car was good, I was comfortable and drove exactly as I wanted to. I just nailed it! The fan support here is superb, they reacted as if I had won the race and it was just qualifying. Realistically the race is still going to be tough, but my target is to score points."

レースレポート
"That was incredible! One point was what I was after, but I've scored two, which is excellent for the team. I really appreciate what the team and especially the mechanics have done. The car was really good and the strategy, tyres and engine all worked together well today. The crowds were unbelievable, waving at me on every single lap and I saw everything! It was great and I appreciate the fans. This is one of the best feelings in my life and I'm so happy to score two points for the team."
