Michael Schumacher, I quite enjoyed my 300th race, and it was good fun out there with all thebattles. In the end, you have to be realistic, and getting into the pointsfrom where I started is not too bad, even if you obviously hope for morewhen I was second at one stage. But then, it was more than we had expected.It looked pretty reasonable at the start, and we were following our one-stopstrategy. In the end though, it did not quite work out so we decided to gofor fresh tyres and attack with them. If we had not done that, I might haveended up further back. But then I lost sixth gear and there was no way toattack. We will now have to do that next week in Monza.Nico RosbergIt's been an eventful but disappointing weekend for us, and it's a shame tohave finished just one place outside of the points today. Without thegearbox change and penalty, I probably could have scored some decent pointsthis weekend. I had a good start today and moved up ten positions into themidfield. We were running a one-stop-strategy because I needed to take therisk to move up but it didn't work out and we had to come in again quitelate on. Now I'm looking forward to Monza and we will push hard for a betterresult there next weekend.Ross Brawn It was a very exciting race for Michael, and a great demonstration of hisskills in his 300th Grand Prix. Unfortunately we didn't quite have a quickenough car today to be pushing for the podium. Michael also had a problemwith his gearbox towards the end which prevented him from challenging afterhis second stop. Nico made a strong effort to get into the points and almostsucceeded. However with a lack of dry running, and the car not quite set upas he wanted, that was always going to be tough. We will look ahead now toMonza and keep working hard to improve our performance.Norbert HaugTwo-thirds of the race looked quite promising for Michael who drove a greatrace on the occasion of his 300th Grand Prix. The plan was to do a one-stopstrategy which we then switched to two stops. Michael was in third with 10laps to go, however the trio behind him were able to go much quicker withfresh tyres than Michael could on his set of primes which were already 26laps old. He then lost sixth gear, so seventh was the result we couldachieve today, and Michael showed some great manoeuvres throughout the race.Nico started 23rd and finished 11th - also for him more was not possiblewith our current technical package. We now are looking forward to theItalian Grand Prix next week at Monza.
