Formula One: San Marino Post Race Quotes, Michael Schumacher

3 May 1999

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER (Ferrari, winner): "Basically, we were going for a pit strategy which would give us two options--and we took the option according to the way the race was going. I know that if we had gone for one stop, we would have stayed in second position. The two-stop strategy gave us the possibility of being able to jump ahead, and even if that hadn't happened, we would still have been in second place (after Hakkinen's retirement). There was no big risk involved, so we went for it. And it worked out well."
