QUALIFYING
- Michael takes first pole in Belgium |
|
|
|
| Michael
said “I am very
proud of this pole, especially as it was only
on Thursday when I realised that I had never
been quickest here at Spa. I had a good feeling
before the session as the guys had
done a very good job and the set -
up was perfect. As we only used one set
of tyres this morning I was reasonably confident
that we would have a margin
over the others. I had to
abort one run because
of yellow flags. At the end of the session,
we realised we had miscalculated the time
remaining, but I went out anyway as
we had made a set-up change
and I wanted to understand what
effect it had on the car.
On the subject of the advertising on the
track surface, it is true that along with
the other drivers we have asked for it to
be removed. There is often a chance of rain
here and we know from the pedestrian crossings
on the Monaco track how slippery this paint can
be. As for the race, I am looking forward
to it as Spa is my most favourite track and it
means a lot to me because it plays an important
part in my racing history.” |
