2003 German GP - First Qualifying
Michael  said   "This   was  not  the  best  qualifying  lap  of my career,  but it wasn’t bad.  The track  was  quite slippery because of the other cars which ran on the track in between our two sessions,  resulting in  the  marshals  having to clean the track, so perhaps being first on the road  this afternoon was  a further  slight  disadvantage.  Our  competitors  seem to  have  a very  strong  package  over  one  lap.  But  we can be  confident  for  the race,  because  in this morning’s free practice  session,  we  saw  that  our  tyres  performed  very consistently  in  race  trim  with  a heavy  fuel  load."
