F1: Austrian Grand Prix Report
On the formation lap Berger pulled into the pits - not the best start to
his home Grand Prix - with a warning light on. The team sent him by without
even stopping at the pits. He would have to now start from the pit lane and
fight his way through.
At the front, Villeneuve led away, but Hakkinen was soon in the lead with
Trulli in second place. Villeneuve was already down to third and falling
back further as Barrichello also got by. Not the start the Canadian wanted,
especially as Magnussen was also harrying him for fourth place now. By the
end of the first lap Hakkinen was out, slowing as he reached the pit
straight. The engine apparantly gave up the ghost, so now Trulli was in the
lead. And he made the most of it.
For lap after lap Trulli commanded the race, setting fastest lap after
fastest lap. By the end of lap 6 he had a 2.1 second lead over Barrichello,
who had Villeneuve another second behind. The top six settled on Trulli,
Barrichello, Villeneuve, Magnussen, Frentzen and Michael Schumacher. On lap
13, Alesi took Irvine with Ralf Schumacher following on. A change occured
on lap 20 when Fisichella set the fastest lap, clearly hurt Trulli set the
record straight again the following lap. On lap 24, Villeneuve got by
Barrichello on the inside of turn 2 and set to work on Trulli's 10 second
lead. The order was now Trulli, Villeneuve, Barrichello, Frentzen,
Magnussen and Schumacher. It was a rather unusual sight to see the
Williams' being pushed by the Stewarts. It soon became clear that they were
on a different race to the rest, stopping for the first of two stops on lap
27 & 28. The order was now Trulli, Villeneuve, Frentzen, Schumacher,
Coulthard and Hill.
It then settled again until the main pit stops started. It started with
Berger on lap 32, who had a problem with the fuel nozzle going on first
time (this really wasn't Bergers race). Diniz was also soon in, followed by
Nakano. The Williams team were ready for Frentzen, then the refueller was
ready for Villeneuve, then everyone was ready for Villeneuve, then everyone
put their stuff away. Trulli now pitted from the lead, and this was to be
the deciding moment of the race, as Trulli rejoined the race straight into
traffic. Villeneuve now had the lead from Frentzen. Alesi and Irvine
collided, the Irishman gave the French-Sicillian enough room, but Alesi
wanted more. Result? One launched Benetton out on the spot, and the Ferrari
limping its way back to the pits, only to retire. Morbidelli in the Sauber
was lucky to avoid being involved, actually stopping on the track before
resuming his race.
At Williams they were ready for a stop again. Schumacher made easy work of
getting by Frentzen (though this would have repercussions later, as he did
this under waved yellows.....). Villeneuve made his stop, and got out ahead
of Trulli. Villeneuve had the advantage now. The order was now Schumacher,
Frentzen, Coulthard, Villeneuve, Trulli and Ralf Schumacher. Schumacher and
Frentzen pitted together, along with Ralf. The order was now Coulthard,
Villeneuve, Trulli, Ralf, Fisichella and Michael. Coulthard pitted the next
lap, and got ahead of Frentzen on the track. Fisichella then made a move on
Trulli, but he had still to stop. It was now that Schumacher was awarded a
10 second stop/go penalty for passing under waved yellows. It would drop
him way down the field. Barrichello now made his second stop, and rejoined
in front of Schumacher in the pit lane, and further hinder Schumachers
championship challenge.
On lap 52, word came that Trulli didn't get enough fuel and may have to
come in again to get some more, or else lean-off the engine. Coulthard was
now very close on Trulli's tail, who was backing off somewhat. Suddenly a
Prost had it's engine let go in a very big way, and dropped it all over
turn 2. Luckily it was not Trulli, but Nakano. Unfortunately on the same
lap Trulli's Prost did exactly the same thing, dumping its sump over the
following Coulthard. Coulthard was now up to second. Word later came the
problem was due to the Prost's losing contact with the ground over bumps,
and so over-revving the engines.
Schumacher was now pushing very hard to get into the points, and fought
tooth and nail with Barrichello and Hill. Coulthard was now catching
Villeneuve, but it soon became clear that the Canadian was mearly backing
off a little. Who needs to win by a country mile? Schumacher pushed
Barrichello very hard, and soon the Stewart was off the track and out of
the race. A few laps later Schumacher made a rather bullying move on Hill
to take the sixth place. The race ended with Villeneuve the victor from
Coulthard, Frentzen, Fisichella, Ralf Schumacher and Michael.
The star of the show, however, had to be Trulli. It will be a crying shame
that he probably will not be racing next week (as Panis is due to return to
Prost), but Nakano who made no impression in the same car in this race
will.

Intervju sa menadžerom Mihaela Šumahera, Vilijem Veberom (Willi Weber)
Celtveg, 22. Septembar 1997.
Mihael Šumaher je vozač koga jure. Pritisak na njega će biti sve
veći, naročito pred njegovu "domaću" stazu u Nirburgringu?
Veber: Mi smo osvojili dva Svetska šampionata i pod mnogo većim
pritiskom. To uopšte nije tako važno, vožnja pod pritiskom Mihaela
čini čak i jačim.
Sada je Mihael samo jedan poen ispred Žaka Vilneva, pred tri
preostale trke do završetka šampionata. Ne baš idealna pozicija?
Veber: Neki šampionati u prošlosti su rešavani i sa pola poena prednosti.
Prema tome, zašto ne bi i jedan poen odlučivao?
Pitanje: Da li mislite da će Mihael osvojiti svoju treću šampionsku
titulu baš ove sezone?
Veber: Još uvek sam uveren da Mihael može to da učini. Ali takođe mislim
da šampionat neće biti odlučen sve od poslednje trke, u Herezu.
Na trci u A1-Ringu, Mihael Šumaher ponovo nije imao sreće sa žutom
zastavom pa je dobio i "stop-and-go" kaznu. Da li mislite da je mogao
pokupiti znatno više poena u nedelju?
Veber: Na to pitanje ne bih mogao da dam odgovor. Uopšte, ne volim
pitanja tipa "šta bi bilo kad bi bilo" pošto ne živim u prošlosti već
u sadašnjosti. Bitka još nije završena.
Sledeće nedelje Mihael će voziti i svoju stotu trku. Kako se osećate
povodom ovog svojevrsnog jubileja?
Veber: Kao prvo, ponosim se Mihaelom. Ali iznad svega sam srećan zbog
činjenice da nije imao ni jednu težu nezgodu u prethodnih 100 trka.
Šta želite Mihaelu u budućnosti?
Veber: Da i dalje vozi trke bez incidenata.
Da li ste organizovali nešto specijalno povodom Mihaelovog jubileja
sledeće nedelje u Nirburgringu.
Veber: Naravno! Ali ne mogu vam reći o čemu se radi...
Da li već razmišljate o štampanju "Worl Champion" majica sa likom
Mihaela Šumahera?
Veber: Štaviše, već sam napravio 100.000 majica i 100.000 kačketa koji
su spremni za prodaju. Tekst glasi "Svetski šampion 1997" a pola tiraža
već je prodato trgovcima-optimistima.
Ali šta ako Mihael ne osvoji šampionata?
Veber: U tom sličaju prepravićemo brojku 7 u 8...
auto-moto.425obren,
Celtveg, 22. Septembar 1997.
Nekoliko sati posle završetka trke za veliku nagradu Austrije, tehnički
direktor Vilijamsa, Patrik Hed (Patrick Head), pohvalio je još uvek
vodećeg vozača u šampionatu - Mihaela Šumahera.
Istovremeno je upozorio da je njegov pulen Žak Vilnev više nego ikad
spreman da sruši sve nade Ferarijevog vozača da će ove godine osvojiti
svoju treću šampionsku titulu u predstojeće tri trke u Nemačkoj, Japanu
i Španiji.
Patrik Hed je dao prilično realistično viđenje borbe za šampionat vozača
i konstruktora:
"Naš tim se bio prilično opustio oko sredine šampionata. U Hokenhajmu
smo dotakli dno, ali smo se osvestili i napravili ozbiljne analize te se
usresredili na poboljšanje našeg bolida i učinka vozača. Sada je i Žak
onakav kakvim smo navikli da ga gledamo prošle sezone: borben i željan
pobeda. On zna da ima šansu i dobru priliku da osvoji šampionat i on će
se za to ozbiljno boriti. Sa naše strane mogu da garantujem da se tim ni
u kom slučaju neće predati, bar ne bez teške borbe. Ne zaboravljamo
koliko je Šumaher ozbiljan rival u bilo kom bolidu, a naročito u
ovogodišnjem Ferariju koji je fantastičan."
Prema Hedovim rečima šumaher je kriv za ono što mu se dogodilo u A1-Ringu:
"Njegova želja za poenima ga je toliko preplavila besom da nije uopšte
obraćao pažnju na to što se dešava oko staze, pa nije primetio ni žutu
zastavu, što je moglo biti veoma opasno. Shvatam to što misli da se prema
nije postupilo ispravno i što zahteva da se žute zastave pokazuju sa obe
strane staze ali sam je kriv."
Dok Ferari leči rane i tuguje za prepuštenih 13 poena Vilijamsu, Vilnev
je pun samopouzdanja i kaže da jedva čeka sledeću trku:
"Pa šta ako će Šumaher imati gomilu svojih navijača? Pobedio sam tamo
prošle godine i mislim da to možemo da uradimo i ove. Ne vidim zašto
ne bih jedva čekao da dođem u Nirburgring. Ta trka bi trebalo da bude
zaista odlična."
Patrik Hed sa svoje strane takođe optimistički gleda na kapital od 13
poena u završnici sezone:
"Kod Hokenhajma smo stajali vrlo nisko sa bodovima, i to nam je bilo
veliko opterećenje, nešto na šta nismo navikli i što nas je u mnogome
poremetilo. Od tada smo u mnogome unapredili bolide i kao što vidite
to se jasno odrazilo i na bodovno stanje. Ipak, ni Ferari neće tapkati
u mestu u sledećem periodu, zar ne?"

Fontana Preview
September 24, 1997
GUGELMIN, PRUETT AMONG FAVORITES AT SEASON FINALE
By Nathan Siebens
Mauricio Gugelmin and Scott Pruett will be looking to earn one more piece of
hardware this weekend as the PPG CART World Series wraps up its 1997 campaign
at the new California Speedway in Fontana, Calif. with the Marlboro 500
Presented by Toyota.
Gugelmin, who scored his first career Indy car win two races ago was quickest
in a two-day test earlier this month with a lap of 234.6 mph on the new 2-mile
superspeedway. The PacWest Racing pilot was two miles an hour quicker than his
next closest competitor, Jimmy Vasser, during the test. The Brazilian started
on the front row for the U.S. 500 earlier this year at Michigan Speedway and
ran up front in the race until electrical problems cost him five laps and he
finished sixth. Gugelmin's speed during the test at Fontana coupled with his
Michigan performance, a track that is very similar to Fontana, makes Gugelmin
optimistic about his chances this weekend.
"I was happy with the car in general," said Gugelmin following the test.
"Everything worked fine. We were quick out of the box, but I expected that
after our Michigan performance.
"I hope it will be a great race. It's unusual to end the year with a 500 miler.
We'll be racing hard to go after third in the PPG Cup standings. That's what
I'll be going for, but in a 500 mile race there are so many 'ifs' and 'buts.'
Still, I think we've got the car."
PacWest Racing Group has been impressive in 500 milers over the last two years,
as Gugelmin and teammate Mark Blundell have combined to score 72 points for
PacWest over the last three 500 mile events. Target/Chip Ganassi Racing is the
next closest, having scored 44 points in the last three 500s. However, the team
has yet to win a 500 mile race and looks forward to scoring that elusive first
win this weekend.
"Our record in 500 milers is something we take pride in," said PacWest vice
president of racing operations John Anderson. "The team and the drivers have a
good idea of what it takes to go quickly, and we have a good basic setup. We've
had several podium finishes on the superspeedways, but we still need to take
that next step and actually win one. We rate our chances at Fontana highly."
Another driver whose chances for winning are high is Brahma Sports Team driver
Scott Pruett. Pruett claimed the pole at the U.S. 500 and led 32 laps before
crashing in Turn 2 after 350 miles in fourth place. Pruett's exciting victory
in the 1995 Marlboro 500 at Michigan Speedway proves that he knows what it
takes to win a 500 miler, and he too likes his chances this weekend.
"I am looking forward to Fontana," said Pruett. "This will be the first time in
my career I have ended the season on a superspeedway oval. The Firestone tires
have been outstanding on the speedway ovals and this year Ford has really
stepped-up and improved both the power and reliability of the engine. We tested
in Fontana earlier this year and ran great. That coupled with our performance
at Michigan indicates to me that we should be in great shape for the race."
auto-moto.430vector,
FRANCHITTI OUT, ROBBY'S BACK
One driver that probably will not have a chance to win is rookie Dario
Franchitti. In the aftermath of the persistent rumors that the Scot is headed
to Team KOOL Green in 1998 with Honda power, Hogan Racing has announced that
Robby Gordon will take Franchitti's seat in the #9 Reynard/Mercedes-Benz this
weekend. Team owner Carl Hogan and Mercedes-Benz, who brought Franchitti to the
PPG CART World Series, are said to be very upset with Franchitti for turning
his back on what has become a competitive program in a very short period of
time. That said, Gordon is happy to be back in the cockpit of a PPG Cup car
for the season finale.
"I look forward to being a part of the Hogan Racing team and hope to contribute
to a successful weekend," said Gordon.
"In preparation for 1998, and so that we are completely focused on our
performance on our performance at Fontana, we have entered into an agreement
with Robby for the Marlboro 500," added Hogan. "His 1998 status will be
discussed after this weekend's race."
The move apparently takes Franchitti out of the chase for Rookie of the Year
honors unless a team (like Team KOOL Green?) decides to field a second car for
Franchitti. Ironically, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Team
KOOL Green would field a two car effort in 1998 with Franchitti and Gordon as
the drivers. The Silly Season is in full swing.
auto-moto.431vector,
WHO'S HOT
Target/Chip Ganassi Racing - Jimmy Vasser's win and Alex Zanardi's third place
finish at Laguna Seca wrapped up the second consecutive championship for the
Team Target. In a sport that is as highly competitive as the PPG CART World
Series, any team that wins two consecutive championships is something special.
Mercedes-Benz - While a Honda powered driver won the PPG Cup, Mercedes
had a highly successful 1997 campaign, winning eight races, five pole
positions and scoring 17 podium finishes. Mark Blundell's second place
finish at Laguna locked up the Manufacturer's Championship for Mercedes,
which hadn't won a race since the 1995 season finale until Paul Tracy
opened the flood gates with a win at Nazareth.
Firestone - The tire manufacturer has won every CART and IRL event it has
entered since Indianapolis in May, and was one of the major reasons that
Zanardi won the championship. In addition, Bridgestone, Firestone's sister
company, has been sneaking up on the competition in Formula One, and may
score a breakthrough victory before the year is out.
WHO'S NOT
Swift - While the new chassis has been competitive this season, it hasn't won
since its first time out at Homestead. The chassis manufacturer should benefit
from Della Penna Motorsports and possibly one or two more teams running the
Swift in '98.
Ford-Cosworth - Like the Swift chassis, the Ford-Cosworth engine has also
been competitive this season, but hasn't won a race since Scott Pruett won
in Australia. A little bit of luck here or there would have certainly put
the Cosworth in victory circle more times, but that's racing.
Goodyear - Both Swift and Ford-Cosworth could place some of the blame for not
winning on Goodyear, as Firestone has completely dominated the long-time Indy
car tire manufacturer this season. Firestone's dominance has many established
Goodyear teams taking a long, hard look at jumping ship.

F1: Austrian GP winners' press conference
Q. Congratulations, Jacques, you must take particular
pleasure in winning this race today!
JV: The pleasure is purely the nine points that I have
taken back from Michael. It's too bad he got the one
point at the end there, but the championship is
looking much better for me now.
Q. What happened at the start?
JV: I let the clutch go too fast and got a lot of
wheelspin, so I lifted the throttle for a moment. But
by that time Hakkinen had got past me and Trulli was
next to me under braking. I was also sliding a little
too much, and when Barrichello came alongside me in
the hairpin I couldn't get out of the corner ahead of
him. For two or three laps the car was sliding a lot
and I really had to push to keep Magnussen behind me.
Once the heat got into the tyres the car was easy to
drive.
Q. Did you think the Stewart cars could challenge you?
JV: Not so much: I was more worried about Trulli's Prost,
because I thought it would be a stronger car through
the whole race. We had seen the Stewart drivers having
problems with their tyres in qualifying, so I knew
that they would start slowing towards the end of their
stint. I made my move when I saw Barrichello start
sliding. I could have taken a couple of risks with him
a couple of laps earlier, but I didn't want to bang
wheels with him and go off the track. Once I got in
front of him it was just a question of pushing as hard
as I could, to get close to Trulli.
Q. Did you stay out a little longer than planned before
making your pit stop?
JV: We had planned to stay out as long as possible, for as
long as we had the fuel, and that's what we did today.
It worked out really well today, because that is how
we got Trulli.
Q. Were you worried about David Coulthard catching you in
those final laps?
JV: Yes, because I was stuck in traffic behind Gerhard for
a while. I was taking it very easy then because I know
from a recent experience how difficult he is to lap. I
didn't want to take any risks. Once I knew that David
was running fast I started pushing. But I knew I could
lap in the elevens, so I was pacing myself on David's
lap times.
Q. David, after qualifying 10th you must be happy to have
finished 2nd.
DC: Yes, I am very happy. I thought before the start that
it would be a good result for me today if I could get
two points. But with the yellow flag situation for
Michael, and again with a very good pit stop, it was
just a question of trying to hang on to the end.
Q. Did you enjoy the close racing that you were involved
in?
DC: I had a lot of fun from the start. I managed to pass
Michael before the first corner, then he passed me and
I repassed him before the second corner. It was fun to
be battling and not to use [the downforce from] your
wing, which is what normally happens when you try to
fight someone through a corner. I gained a place
during a pit stop, which was thanks to the mechanics.
These good six points fit nicely with the win I got at
Monza.
Q. You seemed faster in the second part of the race ...
DC: I was certainly in better shape on the second set of
tyres than on the first. In terms of traffic, this has
been one of the worst races I have ever had. There
were two Benettons in front of me, and then a Prost
which blew up in front of me, and there were not many
blue flags being waved out there.
Q. HeinzHarald, you lost places to David, and also to
Michael Schumacher ...
HHF: Yes, under the yellow flag. Maybe you didn't notice,
but it was a situation when I was behind Gerhard and
the group included Michael and David behind me. There
was an accident at the second hairpin when somebody
spun off, leaving us with nowhere to go. That's where
Michael lost his points ...
Q. After this string of third places, what can you do to
improve for the Nurburgring?
HHF: Go faster!
Q. Jacques, now that you're back in contention for the
championship, how do you feel about next week's
Luxembourg GP?
JV: I feel great about Nurburgring because we beat Michael
there last year. That is the best way to go into this
next race. There is only one point between us, so the
result could go either way. I think we will have a
stronger package there, unless it is very cold which
would be to Michael's advantage. Overall, though, we
should have a better package than him and I feel
confident.

Baksuz, verovatno bi bio među prva tri, da mu se nije u box-u ugasio
motor. Čini mi se da je on sam pogrešio, gume su mu bile zamenjene i
kada je dao gas da krene, motor je stao. Dok su mehaničari ponovo
startovali motor prošlo je skoro 25-30 sec.

F1: Luxemburg GP winners' press conference
Q. Congratulations, Jacques, on your seventh victory of
the season. The McLarens looked very fast today, but
you managed to hold the gap to David Coulthard right
past the first pit stops. Was that difficult?
JV: I managed to hold the gap, but I was surprised because
we had a good pit stop and even though he had to put
in a lot more fuel than we did, somehow he still had a
big gap after the stops. I don't know what happened
there. We are going to have to figure out why they are
so quick. Their car seemed to be flying on this track
with its long corners: this is a track where you
normally have a lot of understeer, and their car
seemed to be handling very well. We are going to have
to figure something out.
Q. Tell us more about what happened at the start.
JV: It is very wide going into Turn 1 and I think we were
just too many cars running abreast. My start was
average and I was very surprised to see David coming
through next to me even before I got into second gear.
Even with extra fuel on board, both he and Mika seem
to be taking amazing starts lately: we have to find
something on our car to make sure we have good starts
also. Going into Turn 1 there were at least three of
us abreast, maybe more, and I was a little behind
Heinz and David. But I hit the brakes later than they
did, and it was OK until I banged wheels. I ended up
running wide and because of that I could not stay in
front of David. But if the two McLarens had finished
today they would have beaten us anyway.
Q. Any problems passing back markers?
JV: I spent a lot of time behind Damon, But even when I
was close to him, nobody showed him the blue flag. I
don't why, because there were several times when I
was close enough to him to make [the marshals] show
blue flags and they never came out. Damon's team must
have told him to move out of the way, because there
wasn't one blue flag.
Q. You were losing time in the closing laps, but then you
got a radio message from your crew?
JV: Yes, they woke me up! So I started pushing and on the
next lap my engineer Jock Clear came on the radio and
said, 'OK, point taken, you can relax again now.' I
had a huge gap, but when you start slowing down there
is a danger of losing concentration and falling
asleep. I started pushing again when I got bored: the
faster you go, the sooner the race will be over.
Q. Jean, you were behind Barrichello for more than 40
laps today. Could you have been much quicker than him?
JA: I think I was quicker than him, but it was really
impossible to overtake him without taking a risk. He
had already been nice to me by being 5th on the first
lap, so I was waiting for the pit stops. But the first
one wasn't really quick and I started losing position.
Q. Were you under a lot of pressure from Heinz Harald in
the closing stages?
JA: Yes, of course. But I had already spent so much time
behind slower cars that I knew it would be impossible
for him to overtake. I just tried not to make any
mistakes or to destroy my front tyres which has been
our problem here this weekend and everything finished
well. But I was still driving flat out.
Q. You must be encouraged with this unexpected 2nd place.
JA: It is very good, especially because at the moment the
team has been giving up a little. And it is nice to
remind everybody that the championship is not
finished.
Q. Heinz, what happened at the first corner?
HHF: It was pretty tight. I had a better start than Jacques
and I was alongside him and a nose ahead. But I was on
the outside line and I didn't want to take any risks
going into that corner, and take somebody off,
especially Jacques. I had a lot of pressure around me
and I tried to be tight on the inside but I touched
with my front wheel his rear wheel, but only side by
side, and in that maneouver my hand banged into the
dashboard and I switched the ignition off. I didn't
know what had happened. I was slowing down and was
looking quickly at my instruments (to see) what
happened. I saw the ignition was switched off and I
managed to switch it on again. Then I had to wait for
a second until everything was running, and then found
myself in 15th place.
Q. Was there damage to your car from the collision?
HHF: No, the wheels were side by side. It was alright. I
was only worried that my inboard camera would be
broken.
Q. How did Gerhard overtook you?
HHF: It was a manoeuvre with Eddie Irvine. I was on the
inside of Eddie and I was hoping and praying to God
that he wouldn't make any mistake at that moment. He
tried to close the door and put me on the dirt because
there was one car a lap before putting a lot of dirt
there and I had no grip at all. I had to go straight.
At least I had Eddie next to me. I was opening the
gap, but then Gerhard went to the inside.
Q. Later on you overtook Diniz.
HHF: Yes. I think they were on one stop. And they were in a
little bit of trouble on the uphill, and I could
manage to overtake him through the slow speed chicane.

Zar niko nije gledao odlicnu 250cc trku u Indoneziji? Max Biaggi ih je
sve u svom stilu odrao! ;) Niko nije mogao da mu se priblizi. Ralf je zavrsio
sedmi, a Harada cetvrti sto znaci da je Biaggiju dovoljno da zavrsi drugi na
trci u Australiji da bi osvojio sampionat.
U 500cc je pobedio Okada ispred Doohana, dok je u 125cc pobedio Rossi.

Nigel to Return?
If Nigel Mansell comes roaring out of retirement in 1998, Jim McGee would
be the man responsible.
McGee, general manager for Patrick Racing, is among the most respected
strategists inside Indy competition. He was making the calls for Newman/Haas
when Mansell was a winner there, and it's on his recommendation that Patrick
try to sign him now. "We're going over to see him at the end of October,"
McGee said Saturday. "I've stayed in contact with Nigel and he's really
interested in doing something now."
Mansell, the 1992 Formula One world champion and 1993 Indy car champion,
suggested a test drive in a Patrick Reynard Ford-Cosworth as a first step.
McGee is prepared to book Portland International Raceway "and a short oval
as well" in order for the Englishman to satisfy his appetite.
"His ability is not in question, he just wants to see if the fire is still
there," McGee said. "I think it is. I know it is."
McGee acknowledges the criticism of Mansell throwing in the towel in his
second year with Newman-Haas. Mansell's Lola was incapable of handling
consistently through a race in 1994, although Mansell was able to take the
pole three times and start among the top three on another eight occasions.
"Nigel lost interest as the car had its problems and talk started up of a
return to Formula One," McGee said. "But the situation with this team would
be very good for him. Mr. Patrick is the type of guy Nigel would really be
able to communicate with. You know, Nigel requires a lot of love and care,
and he'd get it here."
The question of affording Mansell's rates could block his return. Patrick
is gaining Pennzoil as a primary sponsor for Scott Pruett's car, while Brahma,
the Brazilian beer company, moves its money to Tasman Motorsport and driver
Tony Kanaan. Firestone remains an important backer for Patrick, but Mansell
could command $6 million or so.
"Nigel is not an inexpensive commodity," McGee said. "But he brings a lot to
the table, internationally, in places like Brazil and Australia, so that opens
some possibilities."
While Patrick captured two poles and a single race with Pruett this year,
there's a sense Mansell would raise the game.
"Nigel's long suit was he could drive with a more delicate touch than anyone,"
McGee said. "He can sense signals from a car other drivers wouldn't get."
TROOP MOVEMENTS
No other switches in driver/team alignments could rival that of a Mansell
return, but Dario Franchitti's likely move to Team Green could produce
sensational results.
Adrian Fernandez will hook up with either Forsythe Racing or Walker Racing,
as those teams move to two-car operations, while Steve Horne's Tasman
Motorsport goes all-Brazilian with Lights champion Tony Kanaan joining
Andre Ribeiro under the Brahma banner.
Robby Gordon appears to have found a home with Hogan Racing, having given
Carl Hogan his best finish of the year, eighth, in Sunday's Marlboro 500.
Franchitti ran strong for Hogan, but crashed frequently before burning his
bridges with manager Craig Pollock steering him away from Hogan's uncertainty.
Parker Johnstone appears homeless after showing so little speed with Team
Kool Green, but remains a favorite of Honda, which could secure him a spot
in a backup car. It might even be a Green car, if Kool decides to up the
ante in its final year of displaying its brand on racing cars. If all else
fails, the amiable Johnstone could have a future as a television commentator.

Phillip Island - October 4, 1997
Four times World Champion Mick Doohan (Repsol Honda) continued his domination
of his home Grand Prix - and of the 1997 season - by claiming his 50th pole
position, his 12th in a row.
But the favourite to win the Australian GP broke another record today - with
his first crash of the year. Doohan slipped off after being forced to take to
the grass when an overtaking attempt went wrong in the final practice session.
He was not hurt and his bike was hardly damaged, and he resumed almost at once.
Team-mate Alex Criville was second-fastest by just over eight tenths of a
second, with Takuma Aoki (V-twin) third and last weekend's winner Tadayuki
Okada fourth it was an all-Repsol front row for the last race of the year.
Yamahas occupied the next two positions, with Norifumi Abe continuing his
good weekend on the Team Rainey machine to lead the second row from Luca
Cadalora. Then came Doriano Romboni (IP Aprilia V-twin) and Carlos Checa
(MoviStar Honda) - the whole second row covered by a quarter of a second.
Alex Barros (Honda V-twin) led the third row from the similarly mounted Regis
Laconi, with a pair of Lucky Strike Suzukis alongside. The first was ridden by
team regular Daryl Beattie, the second by 500-class first-timer Yukio Kagayama,
who usually races a 250cc Suzuki in Japan.
250cc - MAX SNEAKS IN
The hyper-tense 250cc championship came one step closer to resolution in the
closing minutes of the final practice session.
Firstly Tetsuya Harada (Aprilia), one of three candidates for the crown had a
heavy crash. Flicked over the high side on the fast Turn One, he was removed
by ambulance, and though he had no serious injuries and may be passed fit to
race, he is unlikely to produce a full-strength performance.
Seconds later, points leader Max Biaggi (Marlboro Aprilia) put in a flyer to
vault into pole position. Until then the position had been firmly occupied by
Ralf Waldmann (Marlboro Honda), with an advantage of almost three-quarters of
a second.
Waldie ended up second, with Harada third and Stefano Perugini (Nastro Azzurro
Aprilia) pushing through in the closing stages to claim his first-ever front
row starting position in his first 250-class year.
The second row was led by Olivier Jacque (Chesterfield Honda), with a
remarkable performance putting an Australian one-race rider alongside in sixth
position. He was Troy Bayliss, who had never ridden a racing two-stroke before,
but modestly put his success down only to home-track knowledge.
125cc - SAKATA TAKES LAST POLE
Former champion Kazuto Sakata (UGT Aprilia) claimed the last pole of the year
by less than a tenth of a second from Youichi Ui (Kurz Yamaha), yesterday's
fastest rider.
New World Champion Valentino Rossi (Nastro Azzurro Aprilia) moved into third
in the closing minutes, ahead of championship runner-up Noboru Ueda (Pileri
Honda).
This was bad news for Australian hero Garry McCoy (Marlboro Aprilia), who
moved up to fourth and the front row momentarily in the closing minutes,
only to be pushed back to fifth, leading the second row, by Rossi.
Jorge Martinez (Airtel Aprilia) is alongside, the veteran multi-champion in
his last GP in a career spanning almost 20 years.
There were several fallers in spite of better conditions today, including
Manfred Geissler, Mirko Giansanti and Josef Sarda. None was seriously injured.

Doohan Tumbles To Give Criville Second Win Of The Year
Phillip Island - October 5, 1997
Spanish come-back man Alex Criville completed his successful return from
injury with victory in today's Australian GP, round 27 laps of the 4.448km
Phillip Island circuit. The Repsol Honda rider fended off a persistent
team-mate Takuma Aoki, riding a V-twin Honda, to cross the line more than
two seconds ahead. But victory came at the expense of home hero Mick Doohan.
Doohan had already won his fourth consecutive World Title, and qualified his
Repsol Honda on pole position. He was building on an already substantial lead
with 11 laps remaining when he fell at the high-speed first corner. He blamed
running too fast over the bumps, and could count himself lucky to escape
without injury from his first race crash of a season in which he has been
completely dominant.
Norick Abe (Rainey Yamaha) was third, after a fast start that saw him lead
the first half-lap, before Doohan pushed firmly past.
Then came a huge group, which had number nine bikes swopping back and forth
as they disputed fourth place. It was led across the line by Tadayuki Okada
(Repsol Honda), from V-twin privateer Regis Laconi, Sete Gibernau (Rainey
Yamaha) and Yukio Kagayama, who was having his first-ever 500 GP on the Lucky
Strike Suzuki. Alex Barros's V-twin Honda was on his tail, then Peter Goddard
(Lucky Strike Suzuki), Carlos Checa (MoviStar Honda) and Doriano Romboni
(V-Twin IP Aprilia). Less than three seconds covered all eight riders - the
ninth, Nobuatsu Aoki (FCC Honda) crashed out with two laps remaining.
Luca Cadalora (Red Bull Yamaha) retired with mechanical trouble after a strong
start. Factory Suzuki rider Daryl Beattie did not start, after coming down with
influenza on race morning.
Doohan's first no-score of the year did not affect his huge overall victory or
his total of 340 points. Okada made sure of second on 197, with Nobu Aoki third
on 179. Alex Criville was fourth on 172, and Takuma Aoki took fifth away from
Cadalora, 134 points to 129.
Nobu Aoki won the Rookie of the Year prize from his brother Takuma, 179 points
to 134; Alex Barros comfortable won the IRTA Cup for top privateer.
250CC: MAX MAKES IT FOUR IN A ROW
Italian Marlboro Honda rider Max Biaggi claimed his fourth World Championship
in a row today. Max, who sensationally switched from Aprilia to Honda after
his first three wins, rode carefully to second place behind Ralf Waldmann's
Marlboro Honda - but it was enough for him to claim a two-points margin over
the German race-winner.
The other title contender, Tetsuya Harada (Aprilia), rode to a brave fifth in
the race after crashing heavily in practice yesterday. He was third overall.
With the two Honda riders pulling clear up front, the excitement came from a
fearsome six-bike battle for third, raging almost from start to finish. It
was won by Olivier Jacque (Chesterfield Honda), with top privateer Takeshi
Tsujimura (FCC Honda) next, then Harada, Aussie sensation Troy Bayliss
(Molenaar Suzuki), and Stefano Perugini (Nastro Azzurro Aprilia). Tohru Ukawa
was eighth after leading this group frequently, only to run his Benetton Honda
onto the grass and lose touch with only two laps left.
Bayliss's performance had the Australian crowd in ecstasy. It was not only the
Superbike rider's first GP, but his first-ever ride on a racing two-stroke, and
he fought with the cream of the 250 class with no fear or favour. His debut
result of sixth equalled the best performance of the Suzuki this year.
Biaggi finished a classic year with 250 points, and Waldmann on 248. Harada
has 235, then Jacque secured fourth on 201 points, with Ukawa fifth on 173.
Haruchika Aoki (Matteoni Honda) was eighth overall, but won the Rookie of the
'Year classification ahead of Stefano Perugini; Tsujimura was seventh overall
and won the IRTA cup for privateers ahead of Jeremy McWilliams.
125cc - SWEET REVENGE FOR NOBBIE
Noboru Ueda (Pileri Honda) got his revenge on World Champion Valentino Rossi
in the last race today, surging ahead of a close pack for his fourth win of
the season as the Italian rider's Nastro Azzurro Aprilia faltered at the
mid-point of the 23-lap race.
Ueda came through from a mediocre start to lead for the first time o lap 11,
and broke the lap record with two laps to go to break narrowly free of a gang
which had earlier numbered six. At the finish, only three remained, finishing
with pole qualifier Kazuto Sakata (UGT Aprilia) ahead of Tomomi Manako (UGT
Honda) and Roberto Locatelli (Axo Honda), the last-named losing a rostrum
finish only over the line.
Gianluigi Scalvini (Axo Honda) was fifth, after fading from this group, with
the troubled Rossi hanging on to sixth place, ahead of Lucio Cecchinello
(Spidi Honda). Masaki Tokudome (Docshop Aprilia) led the next group home,
ahead of Australian star Garry McCoy (Marlboro Aprilia).
Rossi ended up with 321 points to second-placed Ueda's 238. Manako (190) held
on to third from Sakata (179); Tokudome passed Jorge Martinez (Airtel Aprilia)
by one point, 120 to 119. It was veteran former multi-champion Martinez's last
race.
Roberto Locatelli was Rookie of the year; Frenchman Fred Petit, who did not
finish today, won the privateers' IRTA Cup by two points from Scalvini.

Flash Interviews
Takuma AOKI:
"The race was bad for me because I did not know that Mick had crashed until
it was over. I thought I was racing for second place with Criville and if I
had known it was for victory I would have made more effort and pushed harder.
I am angry with myself because I made a tactical mistake. I am also angry
with the spectator who threw an apple, with a firework inside it, on to the
rostrum. It deafened me."
Luca CADALORA:
"I just don't know what happened. I got a good start and I felt we good do
well today but then I just didn't have any grip from the front. I don't know
why but then I started losing places and I went off the track. There was
nothing I could do so I pulled in. It's a shame to finish the season like
that. This year we've had some podiums and lost a couple of podiums with
problems. We've had some good times but we could have done better."
Alex CRIVILLE:
"I made a bad start and lost two seconds on the first lap, so it was always
going to be hard to catch Mick. But I just kept going as fast as I could
because in racing you never know what is going to happen. It was a close race
with Takuma, and we touched machines more than once. When I got the signal
that Mick was out I knew that I was in with a good chance to win and three
laps to go I pushed hard to try and make a brake, even though the bike was
sliding. I had no trouble with the bike and if I had got a quick start I
think I could have raced with Mick. To finish the season like this is better
than I dared to expect."
Mick DOOHAN:
"I just can't believe it. I was trying to conserve the tyres. Although I was
pushing quite hard, I was taking it easy on the tyres as I went into turn one,
I was on my own with a seven second lead or something like that. But when I
hit the bumps the front just folded. I fought hard to get it back because I
thought it was possible to do so. I was controlling the throttle to stop the
bike sliding, and I was using the same rubber as I used last week. No, I
simply can't believe that I crashed."
Tetsuya HARADA:
"My left foot was tapped up before the race, and without this it would have
been very difficult for me to ride. At the start of the race there was only
a little pain from the injury I received in the crash yesterday, but it got
worse as the race wore on. Because I use my left foot to change , it became
harder and harder to keep up the pace. Now that the season is over, the tension
of the recent months has eased and I feel I can relax a little. I have been
concentrating very hard with the bike at every race because it was built for
a rider with a completely different riding style to mine. Now we have lots of
data from every track we have raced on this year, and that is going to be very
important as we prepare for next season. I would like to have won the
championship for the Aprilia team, but next season things will be much
different. Now my girlfriend Meyuki and I will go back to Japan for a short
holiday before I start testing again in November. The good thing will be that
right from the start we will know what to do with the bike: we have to work
on the frame and in order to get some more acceleration"
Tadayuki OKADA:
"By my standards I did not make a good start, and for the first four laps I
did not feel confident on the bike. Because of this I lost touch with the
leaders and got involved in a fifth place battle with eight other riders.
There was a lot of bumping and barging going on, so it was impossible to get
in a good lap. Towards the end I managed to pull up to the front of the group
and, after Mick had crashed, get fourth place. I am not happy with the result
today, but I am satisfied with finishing second in the championship and with
the season as a whole."
Stefano PERUGINI:
"I am pleased with my race today because I stayed up with the leaders quite
easily. It was satisfying to be able to overtake other riders and although I
was only seventh, I was close to the third finisher and not way back seconds
behind them on my own. The bike was performing well today, I think the result
proved that. I could have pushed harder, but I didn't want to take any risks.
The team and I have done a good job this weekend and I wanted to make sure
that I finished the race. Besides that Harada was in front of me and I didn't
want to put him into any difficulties by attempting to overtake him. Now I
want to prove, next season, that I am one of the fastest riders in the 250
class."
Doriano ROMBONI:
"I am very disappointed with the result. I made a good race and the bike was
going well right up to the final corner when the engine broke. At the time I
was fighting for 5th place with Lanconi and then I was left to cruise over
the line in 11th place."
Valentino ROSSI:
"I am disappointed to leave the 125 class with this result. I wanted to
celebrate in my normal way by winning or ending with a podium position. Both
of these were possible today because the machine setting was okay and the
gearbox and engine were perfect. But on the 14th lap the engine seized
momentarily and I lost too much time to be in with chance of getting back
with the leaders. This has been a fantastic year for me, I have learnt a lot
and won a lot. Now I hope that I will be just as successful in the 250cc
grands prix next year."
Tohru UKAWA:
"I was quite confident at the beginning of the race and I thought I could
finish third, on the podium. My shoulder did not trouble me and the bike was
almost perfect. But one lap before the end of the race I tried to brake very
hard in the hairpin, I passed Jacque but Harada closed the door and I touched
him a little bit. Then I went straight in the grass but hopefully I could come
back on the track and finish eight. This season, I did better than last year.
I've been five times on the podium, finished twice in second place and three
times in third. I hope that next year I will be on the podium at every race
and also that I will be able to fight for the tittle. "

Malo svežih F1 tračeva...
* Čuju se glasine da će McDonald's ući u Formulu 1. Razlog je njihova
želja da povećaju popularnost ovog lanca restorana u Južnoj Americi,
tako da će najverovatnije sponzorisati Arrows ili Stewart koji imaju
južnoameričke vozače.
* Kompanija Virgin (CD & Video) takođe se očekuje kao sponzor jednog od
timova sledeće sezone. Vlasnik firme, Richard Branson je veliki fan
Formule 1 i pokazao je interes za uključivanje u veliki cirkus.
* Nakon što je ustanovio da su učestali kvarovi na Mugen-Honda motorima
rezultat testiranja nekih delova motora za sledeću sezonu, Alan Prost
je odlučio da izbaci iz tima Šindži Nakana, tako da će umesto njega na
preostale dve trke voziti Jarno Truli. Ostaje da se vidi da li će se
i Honda složiti sa ovom odlukom, obzirom da je Šindži Nakano "dečko"
ćerke jednog od glavešina ove kompanije.
* Ukio Katajama je najavio povlačenje iz Formule 1 nakon ove sezone, kako
bi prešao u Formulu CART ili se posvetio svom hobiju - planinarenju.
* Dejvid Ričardse je potvrdio da će Beneton koristiti i sledeće godine
Renaultove motore, ali pod imenom Mecachrone ili nekim trećim.
* Perspektivni japanski vozač Tora Takagi potvrdio je da će sledeće sezone
voziti za Tirel, pored Josa (the Bossa) Verštapena.
* Gerhard Berger će po svoj prilici definitivno zameniti Edija Irvajna u
Ferariju. Razlog odlaska Irvajna nije samo slab rezultat ove sezone,
već i previše negativnih kritika na račun svog tima koje je "prosuo"
prethodnih nedelja.
* Još jedno ime se očekuje u Formuli 1. Reč je o Zaku Marionki (18 godina)
koji je pobednik Formule Ford u Američkom šampionatu. Obzirom da je ovaj
brazilac japanskog porekla, Mugen-Honda je odlučila da ga "kapariše" za
ubuduće.
* Priča se da je Prost GP angažovao Marčela Batistucija kao test vozača
za sledeću sezonu. On je trenutno šampion u evropskoj Formuli Opel.

Na startu, kako inače katastrofalno startuje, Šumaher prestiže Vilneva,
a na prvoj krivini to pokušava i Eddie Irvine. Međutim, Vilnev ne popušta,
sudara se sa Irvineom, a prednjim delom bolida uspeva da zakači i Šumahera
(kao slučajno :>).
Irvine i Vilnev izleću iz trke. Šumaher odlazi u box, i popravlja tj. spasava
šta se spasti može, vraća se na trku, i na kraju uzima bod.
Hakinen uzima prvu pobedu u karijeri.

pitao sta on misli, zasto je najpopularniji vozac u Japanu, car je
odgovorio da je to, verovatno, zato sto je vrlo zgodan, a ima i plavu kosu.

Za one koji nisu upoznati sa tokom trke, moram da kažem da je pravi
pobjednik momak po imenu Eddie Irvine. Nakon sjajnog starta kontrolisao
je trku u prvih 15 krugova i bio daleko najbrži čovjek na stazi. Poslije
prve posjete boksovima vratio se na čelo, ali je tada očigledno stigla
direktiva da mora da propusti svog kolegu koji se bori za titulu.
Ako ga Ferrari ne zadrži, mogao bi napraviti jedan od najozbiljnijih
propusta u svojoj istoriji. U malo boljim uslovima, Eddie Irvine će biti
svjetski šampion.
Možda će nekome prethodna izjava izgledati neodmjerena i neozbiljna, ali
tako je izgledalo i '85-e, kad sam istu stvar izjavio za tipa koji se
zvao Nigel Mansell.

Bas me podseca na onu ADAC STW Cup trku u Lahru, gde su trojica vozaca
BMW-a zadrzavali Aiella (Peugeut) kako god su mogli. Aiello je cak nekoliko
puta udario u zadnji deo BMW-a. :( Taman kad sam poceo da se radujem, Irvajn
je usporio i tacno se umesao izmedju Schumachera i Villeneuva time usporavajuci
Jacquesa. Stvarno sramota. Kada je Irvajn potreban ekipi, gledaj kako vozi; a
kada nije, boli ih uvo za njegov plasman. M.Schumacher se zaista poneo kao
seljacina... Imam osecaj da ce i na trci u Jerezu Irvajn imati zapazenu ulogu.
:(
M.Schumacher - sampion Formule 1 za 1997. godinu? C,c,c. Ova trka je
zaista pokazala pravi odnos izmedju Irvajna i Ferrarija. Doduse, to se znalo
vec odavno, ali sada smo zaista imali priliku da to i vidimo. ;(
Posle ove trke nikako ne bih voleo da Schumacher dobije sampionat...

The Quotes
-------------
* M. Schumacher: "It is a long time since I had so much satisfaction
from a win, mainly because it brings me closer to the Championship. We
knew Jacques would try and make my life difficult and try to get other
cars to pass me. Initially I made a good start but then I had too much
wheelspin. Jacques did brake a bit harder than usual a few times and I
nearly touched him. Before the race, Eddie told me he might try and
pass me at that point and it was quite funny when it happened. It was
a very good manoeuvre. After the pitstops, when Jacques came out of
the pits he moved right across but I managed to dive inside him.
Thanks to Eddie we were in a good situation and he took care when he
let me pass. It is thanks to him that I have this victory. I have
always said he is a great driver and a great team-mate. Hill made life
very difficult for me. There were a lot of blue flags and he should
have let me through. In Jerez the situation is open. Whoever is in
front will be the Champion. I am looking forward to it. I hope to
perform in the same way and win the Championship."
* Irvine: "We knew Jacques would try and hold Michael up and I had ideas
how to pass him and had spoken to Michael about it before the race.
Then the opportunity to pass presented itself and although Jacques
tried to block me, I went round the outside of him. Then I was off and
it was a great feeling to be leading by such a distance. Then I just
waited for the phone call. I had to wait a long time but then I was
told to let Michael through and try and slow Villeneuve. It was not
very difficult to do as I have three years of F 3000 experience here.
It all went to plan, except Heinz getting past at the pit stop. He
moved over onto the racing line, which you should not do when you came
out of the pits. On my last set of tyres I kept locking the front
brakes but I did not have a problem to keep Hakkinen behind me. I just
had to make sure I was fast onto the straight."
* Villeneuve: "The start went well for and then it was just a question
of racing knowing that there is a good chance the result will be void
in a week's time -- but I just got on with it. I was racing against
Michael and my only objective was to try and slow him but I was
surprised that nobody tried to overtake him. Then we lost the battle
in the pitstops. We came out a little ahead of him but he was on the
track and his momentum carried him past me. Then, of course, Irvine
let him go by and into the lead and the rest of the race was very
difficult and very frustrating for me."
* Herbert: "I made probably my worst start of the season, with too much
wheelspin, but I was fortunate not to lose any places. In the early
stages the balance of the car was not very good and I was struggling,
but it got better on my second and third set of tyres. This was a very
tough race, where I just had to concentrate on being as steady and
consistent as possible. I couldn't really run close with anyone, and
though I could catch people through the esses, I was losing a lot down
the straights. Right at the end I was pushing as hard as I could after
Villeneuve and Alesi, but I just couldn't get close enough to
challenge either of them. It's a shame that I lost that momentum at
the start, and then lost more during my in lap for my second stop, but
the best thing was our strategy, which was absolutely right."
* Katayama: "During this morning's warm-up I noticed that the engine on
my spare car was faster than on my race car. We decided not to change
engines and unfortunately it didn't last the distance. I'm very
disappointed because I really wanted to finish my last F1 race in
front of my fans."
* Marques: "I had a really good start, moving up the grid from 20th to
16th on my first lap. Unfortunately I had problems with my gearbox and
I lost second gear after my first pit-stop. Even though I drove
carefully, the problem got gradually worse until I was forced to
stop."
* Morbidelli: "I'm really disappointed that I had to watch this race on
the television, following advice from the doctors. I feel much better
seeing it from the cockpit of a race car!"
* R. Schumacher: "The car ran well for me today. In the first part of
the race I was held up in traffic, and in the second stint I was stuck
behind Hill for a while until I was able to overtake him in the
chicane. The third stint was the best as I had a clear run, and you
can see from my lap times what the car was capable of. I was lucky not
to spin at the end because there was oil on the track."
* Berger: "This was a frustrating race. I made the wrong choice of tyres
and had to go for a three-stop strategy. But even that did not help as
I did not manage to get a good performance out of the tyres and I was
left behind. It was a gamble which unfortunately did not work!"
* Alesi: "It was a difficult race. We went for a brave three-stop
strategy which turned out to be very close to the two-stops, so it's
hard to say if we really got an advantage from it. The car was going
reasonably, except for a slight understeer. I got stuck behind
Villeneuve and, although I was quicker, I could not overtake him. At
least, we got one point today and there is still one more race - so, I
have another chance to get my third place in the drivers'
championship."
* Verstappen: "I made a good start, passing Nakano and Katayama before
the first corner, and the car handled well throughout the race. Mika
and I were really closely matched all day, but I was disappointed to
lose time at the second pit stops. New tyres were worth over two
seconds a lap here and when they brought Mika's stop forward I felt
that it should have been me to come in early as I was ahead on the
track. In the end, however, it didn't matter."
* Salo: "Jos and I were able to keep each other on the pace all
afternoon, which is good for the concentration, but it is frustrating
when you push yourself as hard as you can for most of the race and
then don't make it to the finish. Just before braking for the Triangle
chicane, I felt the engine let go. There was no warning at all and I
just drove off the track."
* Fisichella: "This was a difficult one. The car did not feel very well
balanced at the start and the grip was not very good. Although the
handling improved during the race and my lap times became faster, I
was not able to find enough speed to make up any places. At least I
finished the race, although it would have been better to have won more
points in the championship."
* Barrichello: "The wind was quite strong today and it just caught me."
* Frentzen: "I ran very little downforce, and in the beginning it didn't
work out behind the other guys. I had a bit of understeer. My target
was to keep on going. We would have appreciated being in front of
Michael taking any points away. Jacques was really fair to Michael.
Many people said Villeneuve would go into the race to push out
Michael, but that was not his target."

Konferencija za štampu...
Questioner: Congratulations, Michael, on your fifth victory of the season.
This must have been one of your most satisfying races ever!
Micheal Schumacher: Yes, you can believe that!
Questioner: What were the team tactics at the start?
Micheal Schumacher: Obviously the plan was to see what Villeneuve was
planning. And at the beginning he wanted to hold everyone up and to make
life difficult, particularly for me. He probably knows he's not going to
score any points from this race, so he wanted to make sure I would lose as
many points as he could do. That meant slowing me down and arranging for
other cars to get in front of me. It didn't work in the end, because Eddie
took an opportunity to pass us both in a very good manoeuvre. So then we
threw away the first plan and switched to another.
Questioner: You got a big advantage in the first pit stop when you returned
to the track just in front of Jacques. To what extent were you able to plan
that?
Micheal Schumacher: Yes, it's true I got an advantage there. For a while we
thought [the Williams drivers] would be going for one stop only. It was
then a surprise [when they went for two] and it was quite critical, because
Jacques came across the road [in front of me] and tried to close the door.
I am not sure whether it was the correct thing to do, to come across the
road and try to push someone. I was able to correct my own situation and
took him on the inside, but it could have been very dangerous.
Questioner: When you and Eddie changed positions, it seemed that Eddie
slowed down deliberately. Were you talking to the pits at that stage?
Micheal Schumacher: We had obviously talked through the various procedures,
and one reason that Eddie was able to disappear was that Villeneuve was
still slowing me down. Once I had got past Villeneuve too, I talked it
through with the team how he would then let me by, to allow me to get a
victory and take maximum points.
Questioner: Did you enjoy being able to plan this sort of thing? We don't
see much teamwork in F1 these days.
Micheal Schumacher: That's true! But I have said many times that Eddie is a
great driver and a fine team mate. I really have to thank him for this
victory. And if any question marks have been raised about his future, I
think they should be forgotten now.
Questioner: Heinz Harald, well done on finishing second. You seemed to be
much faster in the second part of the race than in the first. Was there a
particular reason for that?
Heinz-Harald Frentzen: Basically I tried to be quick on the straights, so I
was running very little downforce. At the beginning when I was behind the
other guys that didn't work out. I had a bit of understeer from the
beginning, too, and my plan was just to keep on going. But I also had quite
a lot of fuel on board and it was difficult to keep up with the other guys.
Questioner: Did you have team orders? Were you kept aware of Jacques'
position?
Heinz-Harald Frentzen: I was trying to be as quick as possible, and to get
the best possible result. For sure we would have appreciated being in front
of Michael and being able to take any points away from him. But I have to
say that Jacques behaved very fairly towards Michael. Many people believed
that Jacques was going into this race with the intention of pushing Michael
off, but I don't think that was his target at all.
Questioner: Towards the end, when you were catching up with Michael, did
you believe you had any chance of passing him?
Heinz-Harald Frentzen: Catching up with someone on this track is one thing,
but overtaking is a completely different challenge. I think it would have
been a bit difficult, even though I knew that Michael wouldn't be taking
too many risks.
Questioner: Eddie, this has been an enjoyable race for you today. Did it go
as you expected?
Eddie Irvine: We had an idea that Jacques would be trying to hold up
Jacques. I also had a few ideas about how to pass him and it went pretty
much to plan. Then I started to pull away and I was just waiting for the
phone call. As soon as Michael had got past Jacques in the pit stop it was
obvious that I would have to slow down and allow Michael to build up a gap
on Villeneuve. It was disappointing [to lose the lead], but if Michael
hadn't been challenging for the championship I would not have been in that
position.
Questioner: It looked exciting on the TV when you and Michael swapped
positions. Was that all planned?
Eddie Irvine: We had it sort of planned where we were going to do it and it
worked out well. Apart from Heinz getting past me at the pit stop, the
whole race worked out pretty well.
Questioner: You seemed a bit slower at the end, which allowed Mika Hakkinen
to close up. Was there a reason for that?
Eddie Irvine: For some reason the car was understeering very badly on the
last set of tyres. I was also locking the front brakes, so I had obviously
lost a lot of front end grip on that set. Nothing seemed to be working
right and I was having to move the brake balance more and more to the rear.
So I just concentrated on being fast through the last corner and getting on
to the straight as quickly as possible. There was no point in pushing any
harder because Hakkinen was quicker than me everywhere. I just had to make
sure that I was as quick as possible through the important sections of the
circuit.

Nakon ovoga što je uradio u Japanu (na stranu dobra vožnja, ali što je
žrtvovao moguću pobedu zbog tima), a imajući u vidu da on ima potpisan
ugovor za sledeću sezonu sa Ferrarijem, teško da će ga menjati. :)
Irvine je zver od vozača. Može mnogo, samo kad hoće.

A postupke "džentlmena na stazi" nećemo da pominjemo. Sad smo videli ko
je pravi smrad.
Irvine se poneo kao najveća legenda. Nisam ga gotivio nikad kao drugog
vozača, jer je uvek vozio sebično, a ovde je po prvi put pokazao da radi
_za tim_, ne za sebe. Druga stvar - pustio je Šumija, naravno, i treba,
zašto bi se on OMEO SVOG PARTNERA u borbi za titulu?? Valjda treba da mu
pomogne, zar ne? Zar nije u tome suština sporta? Formula je već odavno
prestala da bude solistički sport. Pa ne bi bilo ni tog Šumahera, ni
Alezija, ni Vilneva, pa ni Irvinea, da nisu imali tim, iza sebe.
Treća stvar, Irvine nije ometao Vilneva. Pazi, bilo je očigledno da je
Vilnev brži, i da hoće da ga prestigne, ali po kom pravilu je Irvine dužan
da ga propusti?? Alo bre, oni ne samo da se bore na toj trci za poziciju
br. 2, već su i direktni konkurenti za titulu konstruktora? Zašto bi ga
propuštao? Misliš da bi se Vilnev njemu sklonio u stranu u istoj situaciji?
I četvrto, o ponašanju Hila, stvarno nemam reči. Taj čovek je običan smrad.
On nije imao _nikakvih_ interesa, ni sam u trci, niti da pomogne Vilijamsu,
koji ga je isterao kao kera na ulicu, a i bio je dužan da ga propusti, jer
ga je ovaj obilazio za krug. Imao je samo jedan interes - da napakosti
Šumaheru. Sve što ću sad reći o njemu, jeste da se ovim postupkom srozao na
Šumaherov nivo. Toliko.
Al' neka. Bar se vidi razlika u klasi - ko koga obilazi za krug.

Mislim da Irvajn tu nije nista sam odlucivao - jednostavno mu je receno
da propusti Sumahera i on je to i uradio. _Svako_ bi u takvoj poziciju uradio
isto (osim, mozda, Alezija ;). Poenta je da je Irvajn u ovoj trci bio potreban
Ferrariju. Neko je morao da se umesa _izmedju_ (u pravom smislu) Schumachera i
Vilneva da bi Sumi imao ikakve sanse da osvoji sampionat. Ekipa se sigurno puno
trudila oko Irvajnovog setupa, verovatno po prvi put ove sezone. Hej, zna se
kako prolaze Schumacherovi "partneri" - secas se sta je Jos Verstappen govorio?
Sta bi bilo da je Irvajn imao konkurentan bolid cele sezone? Correct me if I'm
wrong, ali Ferrari bi sigurno sada imao vise od 100 bodova...
> I cetvrto, o ponasanju Hila, stvarno nemam reci. Taj covek je obican
Jes', ono je bas bilo podlo :). Mada, prosle godine je Rosset kaznjen
sa 10sec stop/go penalty zbog toga sto je zadrzavao nekog. Rekao je da je staza
takva da bas i nema puno mesta gde se moze prestizati. O;)
> Al' neka. Bar se vidi razlika u klasi - ko koga obilazi za krug.
Schumacher jeste bolji vozac od Hilla, medjutim, ove godine smo videli
_samo_ razliku u klasi bolida/timova: TWR Arrows nije Ferrari. ;) Voleo bih da
vidim Schumachera u nekonkurentom bolidu ili u formuli CART, medjutim, to se
najverovatnije nikad nece ni desiti. :)

Nije toliko do konkurentnog bolida, koliko do samog bolida od Irvinea :).
Nije važno koliko je njegov bolid loš, on nikako ne sme da bude slabiji
od Baričela, Trulija, Magnusena i nekih likova na kvalifikacijama, a to
se Irvineu, sredinom sezone, ne dešavalo, nego prešlo u naviku.
Da je on vozio celu sezonu, kako je i počeo (furiozno), da, Ferrari bi sad
imao 100 bodova, i verovatno bi bio daleko ispred Vilijamsa u trci za
titulu konstruktora. Ovako su se od titule (još jednom) oprostili.
> _samo_ razliku u klasi bolida/timova: TWR Arrows nije Ferrari.
> ;) Voleo bih da vidim Schumachera u nekonkurentom bolidu ili u
Imao si prilike da ga vidiš u nekonkurentnom bolidu. Imao je jednu krizu
od pet trka, nakon koje se izvukao. Irvine-u je trebalo sedam trka, ali i
on je uspeo da se snađe. Cela suština sa lošim bolidom, jeste ne forsiraj,
jer ne može da izdrži. Vozi mirno stabilno, čekaj da drugi pogreše, pokušaj
da uhvatiš dobro mesto na kvalifikacijama, a forsiraj SAMO na svojim trkama
(najčešće sporim). Mislim da bi Baričelo mogao knjigu da napiše o tome. :)
A drugo, jedan Šumaher nikad ne bi se bi dozvolio da pređe u TWR. :> Pa
zamisli da Jordan potpiše za Zvezdu, ili Ronaldo za Obilić. :) Nisu važne
pare, važno je _gde si_. To pokazuje koliko vrediš, a ne koliko su
izdvojili za tebe.

Čovek jeste džentlmen na stazi, što je pokazao N puta. A za ono što je
juče uradio - pošle su mi suze radosnice ;)

Pih, ono je džiberski potez. Čovek koji je važio za najvećeg buntovnika
Formule 1, pokazao je kako je dobar i poslušan ;) Ne sporim da ima pravo
da pusti Schumija, ali da je ispao legenda zbog toga, teško...
> Treća stvar, Irvine nije ometao Vilneva.
Ma da, ni slučajno to nije radio ;))) Cenim da mu se zaglavio menjač
pa nije mogao brže, a volan se nekontrolisano klackao pa je zato
išao onako cik-cak i po "zanimljivim" putanjama u krivinama ;)

O "borbi" za 2. poziciju nema ni govora, jer da se Irvajn borio za
neku poziciju, ne bi prepustio prvo mesto, nemoj se praviti naivan :)
Naravno, ponoviću opet, nema ništa protivno pravilima u onoj "timskoj
vožnji" ali ja onakve trke ne volim...
> Zašto bi ga propuštao? Misliš da bi se Vilnev njemu sklonio u stranu u

Čuj, poznato je da se još nije rodio neko ko će da obiđe Irvajna bez
krvi ako ovaj to neće da mu dozvoli. Ne zovu ga džabe po Internetu
Edie "Irvinator".
Što se tiče iste situacije a da se u njoj nađe Vilnev, mislim da ovaj
nikad neće služiti u timu da drugom čuva dupe u situaciji kad može i
sam da pobedi :)

Taj čovek je čist car nad carevima, ono nije to bilo pomaganje Vilijamsu
nego vraćanje starih dugova iz 1994. godine na istoj ovoj stazi kada je
Hill ostao bez titule, neću reći na koji način...
> a i bio je dužan da ga propusti, jer ga je ovaj obilazio za krug.
Pa propustio ga je u prvoj prilici kada je to mogao bezbedno da učini,
obzirom da je Suzuka vrlo opasna staza ;)
> Imao je samo jedan interes - da napakosti Šumaheru.
Upravo tako, samo što je za taj potez imao potpuno legitimno pravo :)
Ali nije mu još uvek ni blizu vratio za onaj pederski potez od pre
tri godine! No biće još prilike, ima vremena O;)

He, he, nemoj da se nerviraÜ ;)

Lako je obilaziti čoveka u TWR-u, neka ga obie za krug dogodine kad
bude vozio za Jordan pa ću mu skinuti kapu. Pored toga, prošle godine
je upravo Hill obilazio Šumahera u Ferrariju za krug pa mu malo
"ablendovao" da se skloni ;) (ako se ne varam bilo je to u Brazilu).
P.S. Ruka mu se pozlatila za ono podjebavanje Őumahera O;)

Da, ali bolid/tim Ferrarija se ne moze porediti sa bolidom/timom Arrowsa.
Ipak je Ferrari daleko od nekonkurentnog. :) Stvarno bih voleo da ga vidim
u slabom timu ili u formuli CART...

Dobro, u pravu si. Schumacher nikad ne bi spao na to da potpise za Arrows,
ali Hill bas i nije imao izbora. ;) Btw, za Jordana si u pravu, al' mislim da
bi Ronaldu bilo bolje da je ostao u Barseloni. :)
Sve u svemu, bice veselo u Jerezu. Jos da se pojavi Criville na trci kao
posmatrac, pa da dodje 150,000 ljudi i kralj Spanije (himself;)... kad je
trka? Za dve nedelje?
Btw, izgleda da je Eurosport poceo da daje reprize trka ovogodisnje Grand
Prix sezone (motorcycling, naravno). Snimci trka idu ujutru (valjda?). Zato,
video kasete u sake i cekajte reprizu 250cc trke u Mugellu jer je to nesto
neponovljivo (citaj: ubedljivo najbolja trka u zadnjih par godina) - recimo
samo da 500cc trka u Ceskoj prosle godine i one 2 hiljaditinke izmedju
Criviilea i Doohana nisu nista u odnosu na ovo!
