Nick Heidfeld
I'm very happy with my result. After I lost running time in the warm-up
this morning I made the formation lap into a test run, and through the race
I improved the car by making some electronic adjustments to the set-up. My
only problems came when I met traffic or when I was being challenged by
Frentzen. We had a good battle! Starting ninth and still scoring a point is
very satisfying in a race with so few retirements.
Kimi Raikkonen
I didn't make such a good start, but after that everything was great.
The car ran really well all the way through, and our strategy worked
exactly as intended. I had to be patient when I was running right behind
Ralf Schumacher and later behind Villeneuve, because in those circumstances
that is all you can do, but otherwise everything went to our plan. For me
this was the perfect race.
Peter Sauber, Team Principal
This has been a great day for us. In a way our fifth and sixth places
against such strong competition are a consolidation of everything we have
achieved so far this season. But at the same time they are also a product
of the team´s spirit and commitment, and the progress that we have
demonstrated this weekend with our new aerodynamic package. I am really
happy for the drivers and the team that all the hard work that everyone has
invested has paid off yet again.
