We regret that we are unable to bring you a report on this race as regular
GP correspondent Winston D'Arcy, enjoying corporate hospitality at Silverstone,
was unwell .
" We are not capable of matching the pace of the leaders and the final
result is a reasonably accurate reflection of the current pecking order
here at Silverstone today. The only satisfying point to take away from here
is the level of reliability we demonstrated this afternoon."
"
Clearly, we are simply not fast enough at the moment. If I had not been
delayed by Trulli, I might have been able to fight with Button, but I am
not keen on using the word “if” as an excuse. If you compare
our performance from the two North American races to these last two, we
appear to be going backwards instead of forwards."
"
Basically, we did not have the pace which we thought we might have. I made
a good start and I knew I had to pass Trulli at this point if my race was
going to go to plan. It was all going pretty smoothly apart from the fact
I was held up by Button which cost me time. This meant that the three stop
strategy I had adopted did not work out the way it should have done. I had
some brake problems, as at Magny-Cours. But seeing how the race evolved,
I don’t think I could have done much better."
