It was miserable weather out there, yet that didn't affect the race. We just didn't show up as a team.

We've learned a lot about how weather affects counts, and really refined our calculations about the weather and the days that we fly, I can't say it's not a possibility that there were 3,000 manatees in 1991.

It was a solid lap, ... We spent the first hour in race trim knowing the weather might be bad on Saturday.  On our next run, we went out for speed and that put us on top of the board.  We went back out and moved it up again on the list.  We picked up the same amount of time.  It was all about going out there and trying to be smooth on the lap.  It was a good day all the way around.

This was a chaotic and confusing race. We hoped to exploit the unusual weather conditions but this year, it seems that even the luck that can be a fundamental part of motor racing will not come our way. Maybe we have had too much of it in the past few years, but I hope we can now get back in credit on this score as quickly as possible. At the start of the race, Michael was a front runner, while Rubens who had started from further back, was struggling a bit. When the Safety Car came, out we tried to gamble on dry tyres on Michael's car, but very quickly, he realised the car was impossible to drive in these conditions. So another stop was needed to go back to rain tyres, but Michael's race lasted just one more lap, when he was hit by Sato in the braking area for La Source. This meant all our hopes rested with Rubens, who had moved into the points by this stage. His race was going normally, but when his rain tyres began to go off significantly, he had to pit again to fit dry ones with just a few laps remaining. The time he lost doing this and in getting the dry tyres up to temperature cost him fourth place.

This varsity team has a lot of potential. We just need the right attitude.

We're going to be racing Monday and Tuesday to regroup. We have to get past this big letdown this weekend.
