May 7, 2001Herta on his first lap incident:
"I was coming up to the kink and I checked up on the brakes and the car went really loose, and I spun. I am not sure if that is what got me, or if someone touched me. I had some minor damage to the front wing, but nothing severe."
Herta on the race:
"After the spin we ended up two laps down. I immediately started to lose my clutch, and by my third stop it was gone. At that point we were four laps down with no clutch, so our day is done. We will turn our focus to Motegi, we've been qualifying well on the ovals so far, and now we just need to bring it home up front."
