That was a pretty serious effort and I will always remember the tears of pride that the guys were crying when I came off the pit wall that day, |
That was the happiest day of my life, not just in Formula One. Full stop. Proudest day of my life, |
That whole 10-day period in Melbourne 2002 will go down in the history books as the most popular two points ever scored in Formula One. |
The manufacturers have got what they wanted. |
The meeting...with Mosley I suspect won't be attended. It will be tea and biscuits with (Ferrari boss Jean) Todt again I expect. I might be wrong. |
The operating losses on a bad week were a million dollars and on a good week they were three-quarters of a million dollars. That's the kind of money it was blowing. |
The qualifying, time will tell, but the tyre changes will bring a tyre war and a massive escalation in costs and I do not think it is the smartest move, |
There is a commercial agreement in place with Bernie for both races, with the agreement of nine of the 10 teams, |
There is nothing planned for Spa, but hopefully they'll both put in solid performances. The car should be good there and hopefully we can keep the reliability up. |
They were probably the happiest five years of my life but also the hardest and, hopefully, with a bit of pressure off maybe it will give me time to reconsider what if anything might still be around. |
To see 20 or 30 grown men so emotional made me feel pretty proud that we'd achieved the impossible dream. |
We are in. We'll be running all day tomorrow and then we'll have to wait and see what happens. |
We envisage flights arriving in Perth around 9.30 on each of those six nights, and then the eastern-bound service departing at 11.30 for an overnight flight. |
We took a gamble today on the rain that didn't come and started on full-wet tyres. From that point onwards, our race was effectively compromised. That said, both drivers, and indeed, the whole team, got through a difficult race and a most difficult weekend. Full marks to Tiago for scoring a well-deserved point, and my thanks to the whole Minardi Team, including factory-based staff in Faenza, for their support. |
We would look at its performance after six months and the only thing that would stop us would be if the public was not giving us support. |
