HEY!

STOP WATCHING THE FOOTBALL

AND READ OUR QUOTES….
"I think we made some improvements in qualifying compared to this morning, so I'm happy with that  but  obviously  I'm  disappointed  with  what  happened  with  Montoya.  He  obviously  made  a mistake on his flying lap and then, in trying to make me pay for his pain, he drove slowly round the end of the lap before I could start mine. So, we'll have a Stewards enquiry to see what happens there, but to me it was deliberate action, which impeded another driver. Regarding Ralf, his car came  up  behind  me  when  I  was  behind  Michael  Schumacher  who  was  on  an  in-lap.  It  was unfortunate, but I couldn't get past Michael, so therefore Ralf couldn't get past me. If I'd moved, he'd have just been at the back of Michael - we were all backed up." CHRISTIAN KLIEN, Position 14
"I was a bit happier with the balance of my car this afternoon. On my last set of tyres I was able to push quite hard and improve my time. I was on a good lap, but then I locked up the rears over a bump in to Turn 15. I lost the rear and my time was gone, otherwise it would have been a good lap I think. Tomorrow's race should be good and we can try to fight for points." CHRISTIAN HORNER,
"An incident took place between David and Montoya in the second part of qualifying, which I'm sure the stewards will look in to and take action accordingly. Christian was pushing very hard, but unfortunately wasn't able to put all his best sectors together, he would have been next to David on the grid if he had of done. But, we've made improvements during the course of the weekend and hopefully that will carry through to tomorrow. " BOBBY MOORE, "Our drivers will need to pass a lot more in the race…"
