Ralf Schumacher:             3rd
Chassis:  FW24 05
Fastest Lap: 1:24.718 on lap 62 (3rd fastest overall)
"I think we have made the most out of it today. We were on a good strategy,
I had a good start and stayed ahead of Rubens Barrichello until my first
stop. Both pit stops were very good, the engine, the tyres and the chassis
as well, but this wasn't enough. We still need to improve if we want to win
some of the next races."

Juan Pablo Montoya:       4th
Chassis: FW24 04
Fastest Lap: 1:25.040 on lap 31 (4th fastest overall)
"I am a bit disappointed as I was expecting more from this race. Today
there was simply nothing more there, as I had to  fight with an imbalance
on the car. The car was very good in the warm-up, then we decided to go for
some small changes that unfortunately didn't turn out as positive as we had
wished."

Sam Michael (Chief Operations Engineer, WilliamsF1):
"We have achieved some more points for the BMW WilliamsF1 Team. It was a
good effort today from the team and both drivers. The reliability was good
and the strategy was right but the Ferraris were obviously quicker. The
pit-stops were also very good and consistent. We will push as hard as we
can to improve the performance of our cars."

Mario Theissen (BMW Motorsport Director):
"It's clear that Ferrari has built very good cars and they make sure our
work and our targets  are not over. Nevertheless third and fourth positions
are positive result. Also positive is that again we have both the cars
finishing the race and in the points.

"In the past four weeks, when we were leading the championship, we never
forgot our outspoken target for this season, which is the second place in
the Constructors Championship. With just three points back from Ferrari and
a considerable gap from our pursuer, we are placed more than well."
