Warm-up
2 - Keke Rosberg I'm hoping for a wonder - perhaps the car will be as
competitive as planned this afternoon. You know, sometimes wonders come
true and today would be the perfect timing. I'd really like to have a
satisfying last race."
9 - Manuel Reuter "The car is perfect, the tyres are perfect, it might
go on like this in the afternoon."
20 - JJ Lehto "I am delighted. The car is fantastic and was rather fast,
although I was out on a full tank and on used tyres."
10 - Yannick Dalmas "My car is okay and I think, we did everything we
could to make it competitive for the races. But there is no chance of
going the pace of Klaus or Manuel, they are half a second faster per
lap."
17 - Ellen Lohr "This was another session with problems. After only very
few laps I got a voltage problem."
23 - Bernd Mayl„nder "We just tested the race set-up on a filled tank.
With an incredible result, although we hadn't changed a lot since
yesterday. But the combination of a '94 car and the new engine with
pneumatique valve control is just fantastic. We got a great balance and
all this makes me hope for good results this afternoon."
6 - Kurt Thiim "Still we are looking for the right compromise to find
some time in the stadium without loosing speed on the fast parts of the
track."
11 - Christian Danner "This session didn't give me the time for taking
a cup of coffee. It was a great session and I'm really satisfied.
Nevertheless I won't do any predictions for the races."
19 - Michael Bartels "Still the car isn't at its best. So I would be
satisfied, if there wouldn't be any defects and I'd finish twice this
afternoon."
26 - Giancarlo Fisichella "Again the session wasn't very pleasing. The
Hockenheim weekend seems to be a tough one for me. If it only would
rain; then I'd have the possibility to achieve a top five placement,
otherwise a nineth position is the best position I can imagine to
achieve, if I'm realistic."
