Silverstone Another dissapointment for us Alesi supporters, after a brilliant start i the wet, up from 8th on the grid to a fourth in the first corner. Jean managde almost to keep up with Shumacher in front and as long as he had the german in sight it was really fun! But it didn't last and looking forward to a fourth place after the saftey-car left the track, but no…. Again the Sauber didn't last as the race. I WANT A NEW ENGINE!! The chassi seams to do well but the lack of power in races must be that the Ferrari engine isn't to good. All the Ferrari effords must go to a sertan serman guy who has the chans to beat a Finn in a german car with a star in the front. I belive, and maybe Sauber should have thought about this before this serason, but it's easy for me to say…

Jean Alesi:

"I made another great start, and the car felt strong throughout the race. Mytwo-stop strategy worked very well and fourth place seemed definite. But even while the safety car was out close to the finish the team could see on the telemetry that the electrical system was losing its charge. That in turn affected the electro-hydraulic gearshift mechanism on the car. I was thus in trouble even before the race restarted, and though we tried all we could to keep up sufficient charge, it was no good. This is like Monaco, a good result lost in the closing stages. "

Johnny Herbert:

"I was on a one-stop-strategy and that seemed to be going well. I was aware that it was Jean right behind me on the 24th lap, but I was driving my own race. Then the team began talking to me on the radio shortly afterwards, but it was impossible to hear what anybody was actually saying because of the interference. Going into Priory on the 27th lap I started to wave him by, but itīs difficult when you are racing in such conditions, trying to decipher a radio message, and watching your mirrors. I spun off into the dirt, and as soon as I felt the marshals pushing me I
knew it was over because outside assistance in such situations is illegal. I just drove round to the pits to retire. For me, a very frustrating British GP on a day when I could have scored some points. "
