Q  Well, Damon your first win in Canada and after the last
   two races you must be absolutely delighted to have won
   here today?

DH I am completely delighted. It was a great race. It was
   very important for me to do well here because I've had
   two non finishes and Jacques is right behind me in the
   championship and he was motivated this weekend, he put
   pressure on me the whole way and of course we have
   Michael, but he dropped out early, but it was a tough
   race right from the word go. We had to go flat every lap,
   but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm really, really
   pleased to have won.

Q  You stopped twice while Jacques only stopped once. What
   was the sort of strategy behind that?

DH Well we looked at it and it looked quicker, but it was
   always going to be close because there's never been more
   than a cigarette paper's width between us all weekend.

Q  Jacques, you were pushing very hard there at the end and
   with your home crowd behind you, did you think you could
   have caught Damon at all?

JV Well I knew he was very far ahead but I kept on pushing
   just in case he had some back markers or made a mistake
   and I could get very close to him because he wasn't far
   enough in the front for me to just lift, so I kept
   pushing and the track was better at the end anyway and
   the car was handling really well.

Q  At one point I think we saw you lap Johnny Herbert and
   then he retake his position. Did you have any sort of
   problem?

JV Yeah, I saw the yellow flags. I wasn't sure, so I just
   let him take the position back. It was better to do that
   than to get a 'stop and go' after.

Q  On reflection would you have preferred maybe to have gone
   for the two stop strategy?

JV No, I think the one stop was pretty good. It was very
   close at the end. I wasn't quick enough on the opening
   laps. I was saving the brakes because I thought they were
   going to go away but actually I could have pushed and
   they wouldn't have gone away.

Q  Jean, you were a winner here last year and after a good
   fight with Gerhard Berger, you must be very happy to be
   on the podium?

JA Yes, of course. Our team make a good effort to give us a
   better car. On Saturday I had a huge crash because of
   brake failure. I was a bit worried this morning because
   I was full of pain but actually the third place is
   perfect for me, for the moment.

Q  You've been second twice this season and third position
   twice this season. Can we expect a victory in the near
   future?

JA Of course I am looking for a win quite quickly, but I
   have great friends (points to DH and JV), I have to fight
   a lot and it's like that for the moment. I have a very
   good team working hard and I believe it can happen.

Q  Well Damon, we're half way through the season, you're 21
   points ahead and you've got five victories out of eight
   races. What can we expect at Magny Cours and beyond?

DH I'm looking forward to the last part of the championship,
   or the next half. It's going to be very, very tight and I
   expect a lot of challenges between now and the end of the
   season but I'm really, really pleased for the moment to
   have won in Canada and put myself back on target and
   back on track.
