Klien Red Bull + 70 laps 0 Driver quotes: Kimi Raikkonen (1st): "We knew we'd be penalised a lot running first in qualifying so we had to compromise with the fuel load," said Raikkonen who was the first to pit for fuel on lap 11. But McLaren fuelled him up and he was able to stay out one lap longer than Schumacher at the second stop where he stole the lead. "At the start I was stuck behind Michael and at the second stop we ran one lap longer and I could pass him," he explained. Michael Schumacher (2nd): "We can be really pleased," Schumacher said. "This second place is a very good result for us, especially if you consider the weekend as a whole. The feeling that we could have done better comes from the fact that we have not been able to battle for the entire race as we did at Budapest. It is because of this that Hungary was a step in the right direction. For the guys in the team at the factory and at the track this podium is the best motivation and the best stimulus to continue working very hard, as we have done over the past few months. I am pleased to have been able to obtain this result for them." Ralf Schumacher (3rd): "That was a great result and the team did a great job all weekend," said Ralf. "I must admit that I was not 100 percent positive about the strategy we chose, but the engineers were right to take it. We expected high temperatures, so it was a balance between looking after the tyre and having to pit too early. We've had a lot of comments about not being as strong in the race as we are in qualifying, but we showed today that we can go as fast as almost everyone else. The car was great throughout the race, as it had been all weekend and the pit stops were perfect. In the end Michael had a bit too much exit speed to get past, so I was waiting for a mistake which he never made. All in all, a very good day."
