2003 Australian GP - 2nd Qualifying
M.S said   “First of  all, I must thank the guys for doing such a good  job  to  get  my  car ready,  after  I  had  a  gearbox problem  in  the  warm - up.  There  was  no  time  to actually change settings, we just got it to work. I was  happy with my lap  and  third  was the best I could do today. I do not want to take  anything away from  Renault’s  achievement,  as they did a good job, but I hope we have the right strategy for the race,  but will not know until tomorrow afternoon. As for the one lap qualifying, when I am on my flying lap, I do not think about  the  fact  it  is  my  only  chance.  I  simply do the job. But with only having one chance, it does mean that if the car could  not  be  fixed  then I would have missed my chance to qualify. I  am not bothered about my run of poles here being interrupted.  Pole  is  a  fantastic  bonus,  but  the new rules mean  you  have  to  focus  on  the  race.”
