It was good to be back in the car after a month off.

We had some really promising runs with the car this morning, which was encouraging, as I believe we ended up just over one second behind the quickest time of the day. In the end, we did about 60 laps -- which is very close to a race distance -- without any problems.

Spa is probably one of my top three favourite tracks. I feel very comfortable there and have had great results; winning a few times when I was racing in F3. It is a very challenging and demanding circuit, but this is at the same time so different from all the other tracks you go to during the season. It is a great pleasure for a driver to be at Spa . We think our new car will be better in Belgium than in Italy. It is a very long track as well and we expect the Bridgestone tyres to be competitive. Therefore I am looking forward very much to racing at Spa .

[Portuguese rookie Monteiro added to the mud-slinging by suggesting Montoya had only himself to blame.] Montoya overtakes me two laps from the end and as soon as he overtakes me he crosses and comes back in front of me, ... I couldn't avoid hitting him. It was so stupid.

It was so stupid. He's the first one to talk about it all the time in the briefings: You don't move position in the braking zone for safety reasons,

I have really enjoyed myself driving today on my favourite track, especially under these weather conditions as we know they suit us and we can improve our positions. The Bridgestone tyres worked very well all the way and I felt very confident. I am delighted for the whole team and myself, this is a real point and we definitely deserved it. We had a tough time yesterday in qualifying but our strategy paid off. I am so happy.
