Pa, bolje je vozio i Fizikela od Vilneva - to ne znači da treba da
bude boljeplasirani. No, nije važno, Kultard je pošten čovek .. samo
mi je žao što se nisu pošteno trkali do kraja - kao Sena i Prost u
starim dobrim vremenima Honde :)
auto-moto.733pecanac,
Pre trke u Australiji Michael Schumacher se slikao sa sedam sisatih
plaviša u crvenim trikoima. Neke i nisu tako loše ;)
p.s. Ja bi ipak rekao da one loše utiču na koncentraciju vozača :))

F1: Australian GP winners' press conference
Q. Congratulations, Mika, on a fantastic drive to win the
Australian GP. It didn't go quite as you expected,
though ...
MH: No, it didn't go like we planned. The overall result was
what I wanted it to be, but during the race there was
some confusion which forced me to make an extra stop. It
was purely a misunderstanding in the radio communication
which cost me the lead at that time.
Q. Later you caught up with David and right at the end it
looked as though David allowed you to overtake. What
happened there?
MH: I just want to say thank you to David. It was very fair
racing and excellent team work. I am not just saying
that because I won, but because we have an excellent
relationship with David. What he did today was
remarkable. Looking back through history I haven't seen
many drivers who would have done this.
Q. The two of you virtually lapped the entire field today.
Why is the McLaren so good this year?
MH: (laughs) Well, this is something for us both to answer.
But there is probably one very simple reason, which
is that we have the people, the package and the sponsors
who can work together in all the areas. This is the
result. It is only with that combination that you can
achieve something like this ... including of course
having excellent drivers like me and David ...
Q. David, everyone was surprised to see you let Mika go
through. Was this something that you had discussed
beforehand?
DC: Since the Jerez situation last October, Mika and I have
learned a lot during the winter and got a lot closer. In
this situation we knew we had to be very careful about
reliability, because there were a lot of question marks
over brakes and other issues at this type of track. So
we had an agreement here that whoever got to the first
corner first would not be challenged by the other
person, because that was a vital moment in the race. I
was pretty confident with the agreement and that I would
be able to beat Mika to the first corner, but
unfortunately he made a good start. Then when the team
explained to me what had happened during his pit stop I
had some time to think about it. It came clear to me and
I felt it would be in keeping with the agreement for us
to change places.
Q. Heinz-Harald, in spite of finishing third you must
still be shocked by the speed of the guys sitting next
to you...
HHF:Actually I wasn't looking around me very much, and I
couldn't see how far these guys were ahead of me. I
didn't realise how much quicker they were until they
lapped me. I was doing my own race: I was concerned
about my brakes, just like last year, and I had to take
a very easy pace at the beginning. I just wanted to
avoid getting into the same situation as last year when
I got to within two laps of the finish and didn't see
the chequered flag. I just concentrated on being quick
at the end, when I did my quickest lap time and was able
to outbrake my competitors. My strategy was to save my
tyres and brakes.
Q. Do you think that you and Goodyear will be able to
challenge McLaren and Bridgestone in the next races?
HHF:It is going to be a big challenge for us to catch up.
McLaren has a good car and a good package, but we are
convinced that we will make a good step forward in time
for Brazil and Argentina, at least in the tyres, and we
will try to improve the car as well.
Q. Mika, you must now be looking forward to Brazil!
MH: Yes ... certainly. But at the moment we are feeling
happy and we just intend to relax tonight. Before Brazil
we will go testing, concentrating again on the
development of the engine and the car. I am really
looking forward to Brazil.

French Grand Prix Reinstated
PARIS (March 19, 1998) -- French radio has reported
that the International Automobile Federation (FIA)
has given the green light for the French Grand Prix
to take place this season.
The race, scheduled for June 28 at Magny Cours, was missing
from the schedule released Dec. 14 after an FIA meeting in
Monaco. It was deleted because of a television rights feud.
It becomes the eighth race on a 17-event schedule.

F1: Brazilian GP winners' press conference
Q. Congratulations, Mika, on your third consecutive
GP victory and the second of the year. Does it
feel any different to have won here?
MH: No, it is just as good. Obviously this Brazilian
circuit is tougher than Melbourne, because of
the bumps and because the cars are sliding more
here. It is harder work than in Melbourne.
Q. You made a good start and rapidly pulled out a
useful lead. Were you at all worried about David
challenging you?
MH: No, not too much, because it is quite difficult
here to follow anybody really closely. That is
why I was not too worried: I knew he would not
be able to get too close, because he would have
lost downforce.
Q. You made one pit stop only, and you made it
late. Was that as you had planned?
MH: That was planned and it worked really well. The
thing I'm most happy about is the start. It
really worked out well. It is very difficult here
because it is uphill on the startline, so the car
tends roll backwards. But it worked out really
well, and that probably gave me the result that I
had today.
Q. This is bumpy, tiring track. You said yesterday
that it was one of your favourites. Is it still?
MH: It certainly is a very challenging circuit, and
very hard to drive. You have to find the optimum
line to get the best possible lap time. I really
like it a lot.
Q. You won by 1.1 seconds. Did you ease up at
the end?
MH: The rain started spitting a little bit at the end
of the race ... the last three laps. I was really
taking it easy and not using any kerbs or anything
because I was just worried because you can lose
the back end very quickly. I had it all under
control.
Q. David, another second place. Are you pleased with
this result?
DC: Yes, although obviously I would have been happier
to have finished first. But Mika has had an edge
all weekend, and under the circumstances six
points is quite good.
Q. You are legendary for fast starts, but you didn't
manage to get a particularly good one today ...
DC: No, I didn't get away quite as well as I would have
liked. Drivers always have a book full of excuses,
and my excuse today is that it is a hill start
here, and using the foot clutch instead of the hand
clutch meant that I had to brake and use the
throttle at the same time with my right foot. Maybe
that is more difficult than using the hand clutch,
like Mika does. I am hoping to get it right in
Argentina.
Q. There were a couple of occasions when you got close
to Mika. Did you hope to be able to challenge him
at any stage?
DC: I didn't expect to have any chances less he had a
mechanical problem or made a mistake. At best I
would only be able to run at the same pace as him,
but I was mostly a little bit slower. In the last
section I was having a lot of traction difficulties
out of the last corner. It would have taken an
incident for me to have got past him.
Q. Michael, after losing an engine in Australia you
must be pleased to have some points on the board
here ...
MS: Yes. Third place was the most we could have hoped
for, and we achieved that. There was a good
competition between me and Eddie at the beginning,
then with Wurz and Frentzen. I am very pleased,
because this is the first time we have run the new
engine. It ran quite well: it is a great compliment
to the team.
Q. What went wrong at your second pit stop?
MS: Yes, the problem was that the engine stopped for
some reason, I don't know why. Usually we have an
idle strategy to prevent this, but it died. The
mechanics did a very good job to get it running
again so quickly.
Q. Was there a possible one stop strategy for Ferrari
and the Goodyear tyres?
MS: Sure, it would have been an option. But we chose
to make two stops.
Q. You were almost a lap behind the McLarens here. Do
you have any chance of being able to catch up some
of the gap in Argentina?
MS: Yes, definitely. Argentina is sure to offer some
closer competition. How much closer, though, I
don't know. But we expect to make one step forward
there, and then another in time for Imola.
Q. Mika, how will it be to go to Argentina with a
maximum 20 points in the bag?
MH: It will give me great confidence. And although
Buenos Aires is an extremely difficult track, I am
really looking forward to going there. I expect the
cars to be very close in terms of lap times, which
will make things tough. But it is still nice to have
these points in my pocket.

KONACNO PRAVA PORUKA U OVOJ TEMI. TAKO JE BRATE PO SEZAMU MOTO GP RULEZ.
POZDRAV OD PAVIJANA.
auto-moto.777vpoznanovic,
F1: Argentinian GP winners' press conference
Q. Congratulations, Michael, on your first victory of the
season. Your start was a disappointment, though: what
went wrong?
MS: We just had too much wheelspin. I thought I had a good
way of approaching my start, but it proved to be not
that good. I don't know why and I shall be studying
it: maybe it was similar to the problem I had in
Brazil. But maybe it was my fault, I don't know yet.
Q. Your suspension was slightly damaged in the clash of
wheels with David Coulthard. What effect did the
damage have on the handling of your Ferrari?
MS: There was quite a lot of understeer in right hand
corners which made it feel loose and difficult to
handle. But it didn't feel too bad. And no, it didn't
feel any better in left handers ...
Q. With just over ten laps to go it started to rain. How
difficult did that make it for you?
MS: At one stage, particularly at the first corner, the
rain was coming down quite heavily. It was also
raining at at the second, third and fifth corners, and
a little bit at the final corner, too. That is where
it became just slippery enough for me to lose control.
Q. Was it to your advantage that the temperature today was
comparatively low?
MS: I don't think it was either a help, or a disadvantage.
Our tyre temperatures were quite low all weekend, in
fact we felt the compound was too hard. Maybe it was
even softer than what Bridgestone brought, but it was
still too hard for us. As we expected, the new Goodyear
was very consistent all through the race. But Goodyear
already has a new 'family' of compounds on the way
which is even more consistent.
Q. How well do you expect the Ferrari to perform at Imola?
MS: It is a different type of circuit and I am sure we will
improve the car. After Brazil, which was very bad for
us, the tyre situation is now closer to what we would
normally expect. But I cannot say yet what Imola will
be like from the point of view of the tyres. I believe
we will have an opportunity to do a good job and to be
up there again.
Q. Mika, has Ferrari got you worried?
MH: I have to admit that the performance they had this
weekend was excellent ... particularly compared to me!
David was also performing extremely well, so it is
unfortunate what happened to him in the race. If I had
chosen a two stop strategy I would have been able to
push harder, and if I had been able to go quicker at
the time of Michael's second pit stop I suppose I might
have been able to stay ahead of him, although I believe
he would still have overtaken me, probably quite
easily. Considering that I had to start from third
place on the grid, the one stop strategy was the right
choice, and I don't think two stops would have made a
big difference in the end.
Q. Around the time of your second pit stop you suddenly
lost about four seconds in one lap. Were you in
trouble?
MH: Only with the traffic, there was a lot of it in front
of me and I was not able to overtake it comfortably.
That is where I lost a lot of time. Four laps from the
end, when it started raining again and the circuit got
really slippery in certain places, I was in a
situation where I knew I wouldn't be able to catch
Michael by driving any faster. I didn't want to take
any risks at all, so I just backed off.
Q. But Michael didn't seem to back off then, did he?
MH: I am sure he did some! (Schumacher nods in agreement)
Q. Eddie, it was around that point in the race when you
and Alexander Wurz touched wheels. Was that because of
the rain?
EI: Yes, when he got past me there were only a few spots
of rain on my visor and I didn't think there was going
to be any problem. Then I braked, immediately locked
up my wheels and ran wide which allowed him to slip
through. But then it rained a little more heavily and
things evened themselves out again because he spun and
I was able to re pass. At the end it was just a
matter of stay6ing on the track and not pushing too
hard. I still had this [leg brace which had come
loose] between my legs. It was coming away from the
bottom of the cockpit and I had to keep knocking it
back into position with my knee. It had already caused
me an incident at the hairpin, where I lost five
seconds because it was just about to come undone and
fall into the foot well among the pedals. I had to bang
it with my knee, which caused me to miss my braking
point and slide wide.
Q. Wurz passed you easily, it seemed. Was there any
contact between you?
EI: Yes, he was a lot faster than me and he caught me very
quickly. Coming into the chicane at first I half
closed the door, which allowed him to get his nose
half inside me. He touched my rear, but it didn't seem
to have caused any damage to either car, so we set off
again, back into battle.
Q. Michael, in two weeks you'll be back in Europe for the
San Marino GP, on Ferrari's home ground at Imola. What
are your thoughts about that?
MS: We have an extensive test programme next week, with a
lot of work still to do. I am hoping this will put us
another step up, if possible on the same level as this
Finnish guy sitting next to me! I am pretty optimistic
about this, because I know we can go faster. After
that, from circuit to circuit it will depend on the
tyres, and there will probably be variations when one
or another is faster. It should make for an exciting
championship.

U ponedeljak se odrzala 4. trka FedEx Champ cars (CART) sampionata u Nazarethu.
Pobednik je, naravno, bio Jimmy Vasser. Krenuo je sa 5. pozicije i tokom cele
trke su ga blokirali Moore i Carpentier koji su bili ocigledno daleko sporiji
od Vassera. Za to vreme Andretti je bio u vodjstvo iz prostog razloga jer ga
niko nije zadrzavao.... Znajuci kakav je imbecil Andretti, ocekivao sam da se
slupa, ali ono sto je on izveo je zaista neverovatno! Kasnije, za vreme zute
zastave, svi su usli u boks sem Herte, Vassera i Gordona. Pre te zute zastave
Vasser je bio na 8. poziciji posle jednog sporog pitstopa. Taktika Ganassi tima
se pokazala kao genijalna, tako da je pri restartu Vasser glatko prosao Hertu i
samo povecavao prednost koja jednom iznosila oko 3 sekunde... Kasnije su svi
morali da naprave jos 1 pitstop za vreme zelene zastave, tako da je Vasser
posle tih pitstopa bio na prvom mestu, a Zanardi na drugom! Znaci, tek drugi
1-2 plasman za Vassera i Zanardija, prvi je bio u Mid Ohio-u 96.... Vasser je
osvojio svoju prvu pobedu na ovalnoj stazi duzine 1 milje. Znam, znam, pitate
se kako je moguce da takva legenda kao Vasser tek sad pobedjuje prvi put na
takvoj stazi ?! Ali, tako je, sta cete ? Znaci druga titula u tri sezone se vec
sada oseca!

Formula 1 - Najnovije vijesti i tračevi...
Mecachrome under pressure
Williams and Benetton are increasing the pressure on Mecachrome to
develop the ex-Renault V10 engine. Both teams have expressed concern
at the lack of development. Williams believes that some of its
problems come from being unable to put enough downforce on the car,
as it would hamper straightline speed too much.
X-Wings are gone!
The FIA has banned X-wings on safety grounds with immediate effect.
It said that there was a risk of them flying off and hitting drivers,
and that they hampered the safety of fuel stops. As a safety rule the
ban comes in without teams approval and with immediate effect
New Mugen
The new Mugen-Honda engine is now ahead of schedule and may well be
ready for the Canadian Grand Prix.
Barnard to stay
John Barnard has denied stories that he is to leave Arrows for Prost.
Jenkins under pressure?
Stories are circulating that Stewart designer Alan Jenkins is under
pressure for the lack of competitiveness of the F1 car, and may be
used as a scapegoat.
Bar no engine?
BARs engine deal is rumoured to be in trouble. Stories have recently
suggested an Audi deal, but there is reported to be unwillingness
from Audi to be involved in a brand new team. The team is now
understood to be waiting on Benettons future engine deal to pick up a
Mecachrome unit.
Rosset safe
Tyrrell are playing down stories that Ricardo Rosset's position in
the team is under review. It was BARs employment of him in place of
Verstappen which lead to Ken Tyrrell quitting the team early.
Customer Hondas in 2000
It is emerging that as well as a factory Honda team there may well
also be a customer deal to compare the team with. This expected to be
Jordan, whose deal runs out at the end of 1999.
Verstappen for Benetton test
Jos Verstappen is to test the Benetton-Playlife this week after
failing to come to terms with Stewart.
Improved McLaren ahead
McLaren is to test a range of new aerodynamic and chassis tweaks to
improve its current performance.
Lights tested
At Imola the in-car flag-lights were tested for the first time. It is
reported that they suffered from interference.
Magnussen faces axe
After his performace so far this year, stories continue to do the
rounds that Stewart is ready to get rid of Jan Magnussen. The team is
reported to be in discussions with Jos Verstappen
Jordan makes progress
Damon Hill was upbeat after last weekends race, as he felt the Jordan
team had made major progress in the last race. Despite an early pit
stop for damage, Hill was 7th before retiring.
Audi threatens Ford
VW-Audi have increased their bid for Rolls Royce AND Cosworth. Ford
have responded saying that if the deal comes of, they will pull the
engine in house as the engine is theirs, not Cosworths. An insider
said "The trucks would be backed up to the door and we would be
loaded up".
Audi to replace Ford
One of the more fancifull rumours doing the rounds is that Audi is
set to replace Ford at Stewart.
Mercedes says "no"
Mercedes have put water on a story of their own creating, by saying
that it is not going to set up a Merc Jr team (like in GTs and ITC).
Ferrari bids to keep "team"
Luca di Montezemolo has said that he is in discussions with Jean Todt
and Michael Schumacher to keep them at the Ferrari team into the next
millenium. Jacques Villeneuve also went on record saying that he was
not in meaningful discussions with the team.
Williams admits changes
The Williams team have admitted that they are to make fundamental
changes to the rear of this years FW20. These revolve around a rear
end based on last years car, which co-incidentally was designed by
Adrian Newey....
Engine stability
BCE is aiming to keep the current 3l engine formula "open ended" to
cut costs, as well as further restrictions on exotic materials and
regenerative power in the engines.
New Arrows Engine
The Arrows concern were pleased with progress with their new F1
engine, which added 20-30 bhp to the top end of the unit.
Tuero fastest
Either due to a glitch or a major change in form, the Minardi of
Tuero was credited with the fastest start/finish line speed during
the race. Even the team said it was likely to be an error....
Arrows linked to Embassy
Rumours are abound that Arrows are set to be sponsored by Embassy
next season.

Jordan Spanish GP race press release
The Benson and Hedges Jordan Formula One team said that the Spanish
Grand Prix proved to be disappointing for them.
The team's hopes that the car and drivers in race trim would earn them
their first points of the 1998 season were dashed with Damon Hill
retiring from the race on the lap 46 and Ralf Schumacher slipping down
five places at the start.
DAMON HILL - CHASSIS 03 - Did not finish - engine failure on lap 46.
"It was quite definitely the engine - it went bang right in front of the
pits. I made a reasonable start but then was pushed out by Villeneuve
who squeezed his way through, so by the first corner I had lost the few
places I had made up at the start. Then I was having a good race with
Johnny (Herbert) who was a bit faster, but I was pushing and trying to
keep the pressure on him. Then things went wrong when I lost eight
seconds running wide on the lap before my pit stop. After the stop, I
was going down to turn one and Frentzen came out of the pits and pushed
me off the track! That was annoying because I was up there possibly
fighting for points and he was well behind, but in the end of course, it
did not matter."
RALF SCHUMACHER - CHASSIS 04 - 11th
"I must say that the car felt really very good and when I was alone on
the circuit I was able to put in some good times. The tyres also felt
ok, but to be honest we do need a little more power to help us in
overtaking. I had thought that it would have been easier to overtake as
the car felt really good and I was often in the right position to
overtake, especially after the last turn, but I was not able to.
Basically the car is good and with a little more improvement in all
areas and we could be up there. I did not think the start itself was too
bad, although I did have wheel spin and lost a few positions. Where I
really lost places was in the first two corners where there was a lot of
confusion and I had to go onto the grass. But I am conscious now that
when the cars are so close together I would prefer to avoid the
situation by going off onto the grass rather than staying on. I felt
that if I had tried to stay on the track in this situation today I would
not have finished the first lap."
EDDIE JORDAN, TEAM OWNER
"There is absolutely nothing I want to say about today's race, except
'let's forget it and move on to Monaco'".

Minardi Spanish GP race press release
The Minardi Formula One team said that they feel quite confident, as
Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix was the first race of the 1998 season where
both their cars saw the chequered flag.
Shinji Nakano, driving chassis 03, finished in 14th position
Nakano said after Sunday's race that he struggled with oversteer the
whole day, starting at Sunday morning's warm-up session, and for this
reason, he couldn't push more.
"I want to thank the guys of the Team because they did a very good job
during the two pit-stop that were scheduled for me," he added.
Teammate Esteban Tuero, driving chassis 04, finished in 15th position
Tuero afterwards said that he finished his second Grand Prix of the
season on Sunday, and that it is very important for him, mostly because
he feel in good physical condition.
"Unfortunately, in the second part of the race I had a 10 seconds
penalty for a driving infringement," he said. "In fact, on 21st lap,
when I went into the box for my first pit-stop, I think I obstructed
Frentzen who was behind me."
Gian Carlo Minardi said: "For the first time from the beginning of the
Championship, both our cars saw the chequered flag, and this makes us
feel quite good, even if, for sure, we could have done something more.
"Anyway, except the 10 second stop, that further penalized Tuero, the
result was not far from what we were expecting."
Ford's race support engineer Trevor Knowles said: "We are very pleased
that both our engines - with new specification - finished the race. In
fact we had no problem at all during the race with them."
auto-moto.807obren,
Arrows Spanish GP race press release
The Danka Zepter Arrows Formula One team said that the Spanish Grand
Prix proved to be disappointing for them with both cars stopping on the
track at the same time with engine failures.
At the start of the race, Pedro Diniz's car stalled with a battery
problem and had to be attended to in the pitlane, where he was able to
join the race one lap down.
Although there were no indications over the weekend on engine
unreliability, the unexpected failures will be investigated at the
team's headquarters.
Pedro Diniz retired from Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix on lap 21 and said
afterwards that he had a problem with his battery at the start of the
race, which needed to be exchanged in the pitlane.
"When I joined the race I was one lap down already, but the balance of
the car felt good and I hoped to make up some places," he said. "I
noticed Mika's car in front of me stopping with smoke coming out of the
engine, I suppose it was then that my engine decided to stop as well.
"All I can say now is that I am looking forward to our test next week,
which will hopefully help us find more reliability in the future."
Teammate Mika Salo retired from Sunday's race on lap 22 and said
afterwards that he had a good start to the race and was able to run in
14th place until his untimely exit due to an engine failure.
"It's a real shame that this should happen to both of our cars,
especially because the improvements to the gearbox were evident over the
weekend," Salo said. "However, like Pedro, I also look forward to our
extensive test schedule next week and hope that we will have better luck
next time."

Benetton Playlife press release
Betton new comer, Alexander Wurz impressed everyone again on Sunday by
finishing fourth in Spanish grand prix. He is now fifth in the
championship. Things did not go well for the team's other driver
Giancarlo Fisichella. He retired after an incident with Ferrari's Eddie
Irvine forced him into the gravel trap.
Giancarlo Fisichella: "I am very disappointed. I had already passed
Irvine with most of the car and he should have let me through, but he
kept on going and it resulted in a collision. At the beginning of the
race the same thing occurred, but I was on the inside and I pulled back
to let Eddie through, as I knew it would end in an accident. Apart from
the collision, after a few laps, the car became difficult to drive with
both understeer and oversteer, but I was in a strong position for third
place."
Alexander Wurz: "I had some difficulty in pushing with the car so I
couldn't really battle with Michael. I am delighted with fourth place as
it now puts me fifth in the World Championship. In testing next week the
team will work some more on suspension and aerodynamics and then in a
race or two we can really expect to challenge the Ferraris. Looking
ahead to Monaco, whilst I don't know the circuit very well, it is my
home and I do like street circuits. I plan to get some points there."
David Richards (Chief Officer): "This weekend had a lot to offer. It
didn't quite meet our expectations, but we are reasonably satisfied.
Fisichella has every reason to feel unhappy about the situation with
Irvine and Alex drove a very solid race into fourth place."

Sauber Spanish GP race press release
Sauber's Jean Alesi finished Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix in 10th
position, whle teammate Johnny Herbert finished in 7th position.
Alesi, driving chassis C17-01, set a best lap time of 1:26.698s in
Sunday's race and said afterwards that the incident with Williams'
Heinz-Harald Frentzen ruined his race.
"He tried to come round the outside and we touched, but when you are in
the pack like that everyone is trying everything that they can," Alesi
explained.
"The car was understeering as it did in qualifying, though the fuel load
made it slightly better, and after that first lap delay and then my
refuelling problem on the first pit stop, it became very tough for me,"
he said.
Teammate Johnny Herbert, driving chassis C17-04, managed a best lap time
of 1:25.630s and said afterwards that he lost the chance of fifth place
right at the start of the race, and said that he is bitterly
disappointed about it.
"I was always one of the best at starts last year, but despite
practicing a lot this season I still haven't got them right," he said.
"It just hasn't clicked.
"Besides the start, my race wasn't bad. I was pleased with the way I
kept the tyres at their best, although I couldn't really lean on them
when the fuel load was at its lowest," Herbert explained. "I was worried
they wouldn't stand much treatment at that stage.
"The other thing was that I just couldn't slipstream anyone. I could get
close to Jacques, but there was no chance to pass," he said. "The only
time I did get right with him, in the third corner at the start, he just
accelerated away.
"I also had an exhaust problem 10 or so laps into the race, though it
didn't really affect the performance.
"The team did a great job on the pit stops, and the car was reliable,
but it all came down to the start," Herbert added. "I'm the most
disappointed man on the team today."
Sauber's team boss Peter Sauber said: "Unfortunately Johnny couldn't
make best use of his excellent grid position at the start and lost a
possible two points even before the first corner. After that, as we have
seen already this season, he was bottled up behind World Champion
Jacques Villeneuve and was unable to pass him despite an inspired drive.
"For Jean it was difficult to make anything from his grid position,"
Sauber said. "After the collision with Frentzen on the first lap he
tried to move up the field, and was doing good lap times.
"But at the first pit stop there was a problem with the refuelling rig
so that insufficient fuel went into the tank," Sauber added. "This
obliged us to call him in prematurely for his second stop and after that
he, like Johnny, was stuck hopelessly behind a slower car."

Ferrari Spanish GP race press release
Ferrari's Michael Schumacher finished Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix in
third position, while teammate Eddie Irvine retired after a collision
with Benetton's Giancarlo Fisichella.
The team's sporting director Jean Todt said after Sunday's race that
they knew from the start that third place would be the most they could
do unless those in front hit trouble and that is what happened.
"The championship is still open, but along with our technical partners
we must improve our performance," Todt said. "I feel sorry for Irvine
who could have finished fourth.
"Once again we have proved the reliability of our cars," he said. "The
team did a great job in the pits, helping our cars to move up the order.
"Looking at the results it is evident that four of the top six used one
make of tyre and two the other make," Todt added. "Of those two, only
Michael was not lapped."
Schumacher afterwards said that he made a bad start as he got too much
wheelspin and could not recover the situation. "I lost two places, but
thanks to the team doing a fantastic job I moved up to third after the
first pit stop," he said.
"Maybe the pit lane speed limiter was not working properly and I saw my
speed go over the limit for a moment," Schumacher said. "I came in for
the penalty and was fourth behind Wurz.
"I pushed hard to close the gap to him and again the team called me at
just the right moment and that enabled me to get past Wurz. I don't
think I could have passed him on the track.
"Third was the best we could do today, but I think it will be closer in
Monaco," the German said. "We have a big development program coming and
now we must continue to work, work, work. Some of the next few races
should suit us better than this one."
Teammate Eddie Irvine said that he made a very good start. "I have gone
back to my old starting technique and it seems to work," he said.
"As for the accident, I do not want to blame anyone, but I will say it
was not my fault. After the pit stop I had a lot of fuel on board as we
had planned a long second stint and Fisichella came out of the last
corner very well and came alongside me," Irvine explained. "We braked at
the same time and he turned in on me.
"In these situations there is nowhere to go," he added. "It was a great
shame as I was having a really good race."

Tyrrell Spanish GP race press release
Tyrrell's Toranosuke Takagi had an excellent start to the Spanish Grand
Prix when the Japanese driver climbed from 21st to 15th position in the
first lap.
The Tyrrell Formula One team decided to adopt a two-stop strategy for
fuel and tyres in Sunday's 65-lap race, and said that they were
particularly impressed with Takagi's first stop, when he kept the Sauber
of Jean Alesi and Ralf Schumacher's Jordan at bay.
The team said that they are impressed with the car's performance as
Williams' driver, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, found he didn't have the
necessary pace to overtake the Tyrrell-Ford on the track.
Takagi finished Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix in 13th position and set a
best lap time of 1:28.066s.
Following the race, Takagi said that he think it helped to be racing on
a circuit that he know well from testing, but said that he enjoyed
himself on Sunday. "I made a good start and got by several cars on the
first lap," he said.
"Once I settled down, I found I was able to run at the pace I wanted to
and still maintain my position. The car seemed particularly quick on the
straights and that really helped.
"I was surprised, for instance, that Frentzen's Williams was behind me
for most of the second stint and just didn't have the performance to
overtake.
"The team also did a great job with both pit stops. The second one, in
particular, was very fast. All in all, I feel it was a good day.
"Now I am looking forward to the challenge of Monaco in two weeks,"
Takagi added.
Tyrrell's managing director Dr Harvey Postlethwaite said afterwards that
Takagi continued his education on Sunday with a gritty race fighting for
position in good company. "His pit stops were exemplary and he showed
good consistency in his race pace," he said.
"The difficult tyre situation and high number of finishers gives scant
reward in terms of placing for what was an excellent drive,"
Postlethwaite added.

Prix in a one-two finishing position. This is the team's third one-two
finish so far for the 1998 season.
Mika Hakkinen, driving chassis MP 4-13 04, won the Spanish Grand Prix in
a time of 1h33: 37.621s and a best lap time of 1:24.275s.
Hakkinen afterwards said that it was a great race.
"Starting from pole and leading the majority of the race was a fantastic
feeling," he said.
"I pushed hard in the early part of the race and then towards the end I
backed off a bit," he said. "Today wouldn't have been possible without
the team doing a perfect job and I would like to thank them all."
Teammate David Coulthard, driving chassis MP4-13 03, finished second in
Sunday's race, 9.439s behind Hakkinen. Coulthard's fastest lap time
during Sunday Spanish Grand Prix was a 1:24.778s.
Colthard afterwards said: "Mika was really at one with his car this
weekend and I wasn't able to keep pace with him, so congratulations to
Mika.
"I had a really difficult time in the first part of the race, this
improved on subsequent sets of tyres, but I wasn't in a position to
challenge him," Coulthard said. "All weekend I focused on getting the
balance right for this circuit but didn't quite achieve it.
"Monaco is a totally different track and I am looking forward to that
new challenge," the Scot added.
McLaren team chief Ron Dennis said that above all, he is extremely happy
for everybody who works within the companies that support them and
especially for the people at McLaren and Mercedes-Benz.
"The team did a great job over the weekend. The drivers had the
equipment to do the job and this was the result of the efforts of
everyone within the group," he said. "A great weekend and I am looking
forward to Monte Carlo."
Mercedes motorsport chief Norbert Haug said that Sunday's victory is a
great 1-2 victory and their best team achievement so far.
"Congratulations to the whole team especially Mika and David - they have
demonstrated perfection at race speed," he said.

Sunday's post race press conference
Question: Congratulations, Mika, on your third victory of the season.
After only ten laps of the race you already had an advantage of almost
ten seconds. How hard were you pushing then?
Mika Hakkinen: With a lead like that you might imagine that it is easy,
but it never is. You have to make sure that you are concentrating hard,
you have to be careful overtaking and although it is enjoyable to be
passing other drivers it is also demanding because the situation and the
timing are not always exactly ideal."
At the beginning I was pushing quite hard. I guess there is always a
little room for improvement in your lap time during a race, especially
when you are leading, but certainly there was no point in taking any
risks at that early stage and damaging your tyres, because you could
easily destroy the rest of the run. But there was maybe half a tenth
left.
Question: Both of you seemed to make good pit stops, but David closed up
on you quite dramatically after the second stops. Did you have any
problems then?
Mika Hakkinen: I now realise that David's pit stops were very good and
he got close to me. But the way I was coming into the pits was to make
sure I didn't take any risks, and the difference between us fell to four
seconds after the second stop, so maybe I was taking it a bit too easy.
Question: David, congratulations on another six points for second place.
Was Mika simply too quick for you today?
David Coulthard: Obviously, yes! I couldn't keep up with him at the
start. I had a really difficult time on my first set of tyres and
although I got more comfortable on the next two sets Mika was really at
one with his car this weekend. I wasn't able to keep pace, so
congratulations to him.
Question: Did you feel at any stage that you might have been able to
catch him and pass?
David Coulthard: You always have to push, and I pushed as hard as I
could through the whole race because 1) you never know what the strategy
is of the people behind you, and 2) if anything were to have happened to
Mika, in traffic or at a pit stop, then there was always a chance of me
being able to sneak through. I tried hard but I just wasn't quick enough
this weekend.
Question: Michael, you obviously had to fight even for third place. It
would appear to have been a difficult day for you and for Ferrari ...
Michael Schumacher: Yes, it all began at the start, which didn't work
out at all and where I lost two places. Luckily, after the first pit
stop I regained them. But at the same time I collected a ten-second
penalty for speeding in the pit lane. I don't know why, but for some
reason the limiter wouldn't engage, and that meant I had to come in for
an extra pit stop. Luckily the crew did a great job and they managed to
get me back into the race at exact the right moment, just in front of
Wurz, which enabled me to recover my third position.
Question: If you had not got back into the race ahead of Wurz, do you
think you would have been able to take him?
Michael Schumacher: I was even having difficulty overtaking Minardis
today, so I don't know what it would have taken to pass Wurz, to be
honest! In the early stages of the race I was behind Fisichella and
there was no way to pass anyone. So I guess that passing Wurz would have
been impossible.
Question: The next race, Monaco, is one where you have had some of your
most memorable moments. Will it be difficult to go there with 12 points
separating you from Mika in the championship?
Michael Schumacher: Obviously I would like to get it down to six points
and see whether we have a chance or not.
Question: Mika, what are your thoughts on going to Monaco?
Mika Hakkinen: I haven't thought too much about Monaco yet. I am certain
it is going to be an extremely difficult track, not just for me and
David but for everybody. It could be an advantage for me and David,
though, that we know the streets -- because we live there! I think we
can say we know the corners ...
