2003 Spanish GP - RACE - Michael takes 66th win
Michael  said  "This  was a perfect day for the championship and for the new car.  I  am  very  happy  and  must thank the team  for  their  100%  effort. At the first corner, I did not expect Rubens on the  outside  and  I  moved over the inside kerb  and  slid  a bit  and  thought  we might touch. I am not sure if  we  did  or  not. But that is racing and it is supposed to  be  a competition. The  win  was  not  as easy as it looked. We  had  expected  a very  tough  fight  after seeing the lap times on the first two days and that is how it turned out. My tyres  performed  very  well  at  the  beginning of each stint, but  towards  the  end  their performance dropped off a bit. But  towards  the  end  of  the race,  the longer I was out on the  track,  the  better  the  situation  became  and  the tyres were  more consistent again. I really love this new car which is  fantastic  and  it  was  the  right  decision  to  bring it as, today,  I am  not  sure  we would have won with the old one."
