GP - QUALIFYING - Michael missed pole |
|
|

| Michael
said "I enjoyed this
afternoon’s battle for
pole. On my first run, I
missed the apex at the last chicane, hit the kerb
and ran wide, so my time did not count. I thought
it was so slow that they
would allow it, but it did not matter. Then,
on my third run, the
car stepped out at the
fast chicane and I had to go in a straight line.
Quite rightly, they took that
time away also. Then on my final run,
I lost a bit of time in the
final sector. The heat was not a problem this
afternoon, but at the
last corner you are just sliding,
not driving. As for tomorrow,
I think it will be a much closer
race than the last ones,
but we don’t really
have a full picture of what to expect. Starting
on the “dirty” side of the track
does not make a big difference
at this circuit. Can I win for the sixth time
here? That will be up to the guys in front
and behind!" |
