OSRN 1

Round 9 of the 2000 F1 season at Magny Cours.

Transcript

00:00:00Welcome to Manicours and the French Grand Prix, where 100 years ago, and not far from here,

00:00:06James Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of the New York Journal,

00:00:09and the lover, it has to be said, of the newly invented internal combustion engine,

00:00:13issued a challenge to the world.

00:00:15An international series of motor races, the first of which would be held between Paris and Lyon.

00:00:21Well, the Gordon Bennett Cup paved the way for the French Grand Prix,

00:00:24and the French Grand Prix opened, for French motorsport,

00:00:27a rich seam of cars, drivers, circuits, and teams.

00:00:31It also brought names to the common vernacular of the motor racing fan.

00:00:35Names like The Pits, Checkered Flag, and Grand Prix, Grand Prize.

00:00:39So here's to French motorsport, here's to where it all began,

00:00:43the birthplace of international motor racing.

00:00:45Here's to James Gordon Bennett, the centenary of the first international major motorsporting event.

00:00:58FIA Formula One World Championship

00:01:17It's round nine of the FIA Formula One World Championship,

00:01:20the 50th Grand Prix of France from Manicours.

00:01:23Welcome to the Mercedes-Benz pre-race show on Fox Sportsnet.

00:01:28Hello, I'm John Watson, sitting in for Mike Joy this weekend,

00:01:31and I'm here with five-time Le Mans winner, Derek Bell.

00:01:34And down in the pits from F1 Racing Magazine is Peter Windsor.

00:01:39Well, looking at Jarno Trulli sitting in the pits,

00:01:41and these are the cars waiting to go out onto track.

00:01:44Michael Schumacher, that pole setter, absolutely stunning qualifying from Schumacher.

00:01:49But let's have a look at this week's show menu to see what's coming up.

00:01:53The Jordan engine deal, great news for the Jordan team.

00:01:58Getting off to a good start in Formula One, sounds very easy.

00:02:01Well, we'll look at that a little bit later.

00:02:03Remember Kulthard back in Canada?

00:02:05Qualifying highlights, and there were plenty of them.

00:02:11And Derek and Frenzel take a drive around the Indy Formula One circuit.

00:02:16They were on route up to Canada, and they dropped off.

00:02:22Michael Schumacher now out on track, and of course, Schumacher dominated qualifying.

00:02:27Wasn't just quite so dominant this morning in the warm-up.

00:02:30He was only third quickest behind the two McLarens, but don't worry about it.

00:02:33This man did all the work he needs for this afternoon's Grand Prix on Friday and Saturday.

00:02:42So, let's have a look and see how the point standings are.

00:02:45Let's look at the Drivers' Championship.

00:02:46Michael Schumacher, 22 points advantage.

00:02:49And it's David Kulthard, not his teammate Micah Hakkinen.

00:02:52Hakkinen's in third place.

00:02:53Rubens Barrichello in fourth.

00:02:55A fine fifth from Giancarlo Fisichella for Benetton.

00:02:58And Ralf Schumacher in the Williams BMW is in sixth place.

00:03:01And in the Constructors, it's Ferrari still in the lead.

00:03:0484 to 66 of McLaren, 18 of Benetton, 15 of Williams, 10 of Jordan, and 6 of BAR Honda.

00:03:12Oh, Ferrari.

00:03:13I mean, look at Heinz-Hauer-Frenzen.

00:03:15Jordan now makes his way out.

00:03:16And the teams, they go in and out.

00:03:18They make a lap, come back in.

00:03:19Any final adjustments they want to make to their cars.

00:03:21Micah Salo, a man in the news also.

00:03:23Toyota reputed to be interested in him.

00:03:26As Rubens Barrichello and Micah Hakkinen back in the garage.

00:03:29So, there's been a lot of news since Canada.

00:03:33And we're going to have a little look at that with Peter Windsor.

00:03:36So, as Hakkinen's car goes back into the garage, let's look at the news.

00:03:42Well, here at the Manicour Paddock is a glow with the news

00:03:45that Eddie Jordan has signed a five-year factory deal with Honda.

00:03:49He's been working on that for a long time, of course,

00:03:51virtually from the moment Craig Pollitt actually secured an exclusive factory deal with Honda.

00:03:55And we'll be hearing from Eddie in a minute as to how that came about.

00:03:58What it has done, of course, is open the driver market right up

00:04:01because Heinz-Hauer-Frenzen was talking to Jaguar, thinking about leaving Jordan.

00:04:05That probably won't happen now.

00:04:07What will Jaguar do?

00:04:08Well, they're talking to Jenson Button, which would be a good choice in my view.

00:04:11Equally, Jacques Villeneuve has gone to Eddie Jordan and said,

00:04:14Eddie, maybe I should be driving for you now.

00:04:15So, we'll see what happens there.

00:04:17Murray Walker dislocated his hip, sadly, in England.

00:04:20He's got two replacement hips already.

00:04:22But he's making a good recovery.

00:04:23But he's placed in the World Feed TV chair this weekend, taken by James Allen.

00:04:27And we wish Murray the speediest of recoveries.

00:04:30Finally, McLaren have confirmed that Micah Hakkinen will be staying with them.

00:04:33There was really never any doubt about that.

00:04:35But they've also confirmed that David Coulthard will be driving for them again next year.

00:04:39Strong move by Ron Dennis, in my opinion, because what that gives Coulthard is peace of mind.

00:04:43He can relax now, concentrate on the business of trying to win the World Championship.

00:04:46I'm sure you'll agree with me, guys.

00:04:48That is a great move by Ron Dennis.

00:04:50Well, I'm delighted with David Coulthard.

00:04:51I think it's wonderful news for him, particularly the way he's going at the moment.

00:04:54But it makes you wonder whether the fact that he had thought he had the skids under him

00:04:57might have inspired him to greater heights.

00:04:59But in the back of my mind, I can't help thinking it might have been to do with that tragic plane accident

00:05:03that maybe gave him another sparkle and a zest to go for life.

00:05:06Well, Coulthard clearly has responded, as Micah Hakkinen seems to be sort of dozing.

00:05:10I don't know what's going on in Micah's brains, but great for David.

00:05:13But another man who was probably the happiest man in the pack this weekend was Eddie Jordan.

00:05:18We know the reason why, but he's a chance to explain that to Peter Windsor.

00:05:21And Eddie is his usual modest self.

00:05:26Well, it's a huge, huge moment for Jordan.

00:05:28Probably the biggest in, you know, the 30 years that I've been involved in motor racing.

00:05:32Either as a driver or as a team, it's weighing by far the biggest and the greatest opportunity we've ever had.

00:05:38And needless to say, Fox was a major contributor.

00:05:42I mean, all the press and people were saying, why not give a chance to Jordan?

00:05:45Let them see what they can do with a Honda engine.

00:05:47And commentary team, the boys back home, and, you know, I want to say a big thank you.

00:05:52Well, thank you for that, Eddie.

00:05:54Now, the engine BAR have been using is different from yours.

00:05:56Are you going to have to build a new car now around that engine?

00:05:59No, this engine, the contract really starts in January of 2001.

00:06:04So the contract we have with Mugen at the moment will, of course, stay in existence.

00:06:08Well, many congratulations to you, Eddie.

00:06:10I'm sure everyone in the pit lane is saying the same thing.

00:06:12Indeed, has Craig Pollock offered his congratulations to you?

00:06:14I'm not going to get involved in that, Peter.

00:06:16Come on, give me a chance.

00:06:18Listen, give the chap a break.

00:06:20It's going to be a great future for Jordan.

00:06:22And that's all I'm interested in.

00:06:23Thank you very much, Eddie.

00:06:24Congratulations.

00:06:25Thank you.

00:06:26Well, it's wonderful news for Eddie Jordan, of course.

00:06:28But it will mean now that, of course, he can compete against Ferrari and McLaren at the same level, I certainly hope.

00:06:33Yes, he does.

00:06:34Of course, the trouble now, Eddie, you've got nowhere to hide.

00:06:36You've got the factory engine from Honda, and you're going to have to compete against the rest.

00:06:42We're going to have a look at this incident in a little bit more detail.

00:06:44David Coulthard at the Canadian Grand Prix.

00:06:46So join us after the break as we come back to Manicour.

00:06:51Welcome back to the Mercedes-Benz pre-race show on Fox Sportsnet.

00:06:55And we look at Rubens Barrichello.

00:06:56He's decided it's time to go back out on the track.

00:06:59He's been in and out and in and out.

00:07:01And there's one of the stars of qualifying.

00:07:03Eddie Irvine really manhandled that Jaguar around the 2.74 mile Manicour circuit.

00:07:10But let's have a look at this Manicour track.

00:07:13Well, as John mentioned, 2.74 miles.

00:07:17Well, as John mentioned, 2.74 miles.

00:07:19It's the least light, probably, of all the circuits they go to.

00:07:22Overtaking Cabey Dunne down into Adelaide hairpin with 40 mile an hour turning in point.

00:07:27But it is a very smooth circuit, and it's very light on brakes.

00:07:32Let's do a lap with Jean Alesi.

00:07:35As he comes out of turn one, he's in first gear, second gear, third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear through the Grand Cours.

00:07:41170 mile an hour left-hander.

00:07:43It's very difficult braking through a left-hander into a right.

00:07:46You have to have the most beautiful balanced car so you don't get too much push.

00:07:50You need all the speed to carry it down this long straight up to 185 miles an hour.

00:07:57As I said, the circuit is very smooth.

00:07:59They run the very soft, super soft tyre.

00:08:02He brakes right down to 40 miles an hour for the Adelaide hairpin.

00:08:05He wants maximum traction as he comes out of there, obviously,

00:08:08so he can pull perfect acceleration up through the little right-left,

00:08:13and then through the slower right-left, the tighter right-left, I should say,

00:08:17and then up into the 180 left-hand corner.

00:08:21Second gear corner, third gear corner as he goes around here.

00:08:2350 miles an hour.

00:08:24Again, you need maximum traction as you come out of here,

00:08:27working your way along this 175 mile an hour straight.

00:08:31Then down to fourth gear as he enters Imola, goes through there.

00:08:34Wonderful set of corners to watch when you're actually watching from the outside.

00:08:38A bit of twitch of opposite lock as he comes to Chateau d'Eau.

00:08:41Accelerate down for the last couple of corners of the circuit.

00:08:44Up to the chicane at 160 miles an hour.

00:08:46Brakes hard.

00:08:47Second gear over the kerbs.

00:08:48Keep it in tight to the left here.

00:08:50You want maximum traction.

00:08:51The only circuit you go over the start-finish line in first gear.

00:08:54That was a lap with Jean Alessi.

00:08:57Well, Michael Schumacher again just doing one of those laps before he has to go on the grid.

00:09:01The pit lane, of course, it's open for 15 minutes, but at a quarter before the race starts.

00:09:06That's 2 o'clock local time in France.

00:09:08You have to go on the grid.

00:09:10And I suspect Michael Schumacher is using this as his last opportunity to check out that Ferrari.

00:09:18Well, we have been talking about the starts and how important it is,

00:09:21and the support crew that is now necessary to get a Grand Prix car to fire up.

00:09:26So let's have a look at that in more detail with Peter Windsor.

00:09:31Yes, an atmosphere of calm efficiency here in the Telefonica Minardi garage

00:09:35where they're preparing Marc Genet's car for the French Grand Prix.

00:09:39But soon, of course, the car will be ready for an engine start-up.

00:09:42How many mechanics and how many tasks are involved actually in starting a modern Grand Prix car?

00:09:49Even while the driver is kidding himself up,

00:09:51the process begins with the installation of a three-dimensional engine mapping program by the two Cosworth engineers.

00:09:56Although this engine is now officially badged as a Fondmetal and should be named as such.

00:10:01These maps define all of the engine's basic running parameters

00:10:04according to the nature of the circuit, ambient temperature, air pressure, etc.

00:10:08The engineers talk direct to the car's ECU, its electronic control unit, its Magneti Morelli frame.

00:10:14This little black box is located in the side of the chassis

00:10:17and in the garage is connected to the car's main power sources by an umbilical cord.

00:10:22On the grid, of course, it is driven by separate sources.

00:10:26An engineer checks for air pressure locks.

00:10:28Formula 1 engines use pneumatic valve springs.

00:10:30The mechanic cranks the air starter and the engine hopefully bursts into life.

00:10:34It idles at around 3,800 revs

00:10:37as engineers monitor both engine and gearbox numbers on laptops.

00:10:41Around the back, a separate power pack simulates car hydraulic pressure.

00:10:46So there you have it.

00:10:47Seven Menardi mechanics and engineers involved in the start-up of one of their cars

00:10:50and that number would probably increase to something like nine or ten at Ferrari and McLaren.

00:10:55What it doesn't include, of course, is the driver.

00:10:57He doesn't need to do anything. He just sits there.

00:10:59But once the engine's running, he needs to keep it running.

00:11:02David Coulthard, of course, had a problem with that in Canada two weeks ago.

00:11:06Well, I know it's more high-tech these days, but I remember, well, you should start them with a key.

00:11:10Derek, I think in my day, we had somebody on an air gun.

00:11:12We had just a single guy at the back of the car.

00:11:14You'd wave your hand in the air.

00:11:16The engine would start up and then they'd send you.

00:11:18But there are the scenes on the grid.

00:11:20Michael Schumacher out of the car and having a little walk around.

00:11:23He'll take the helmet off.

00:11:24Some drivers tend to like to stay in their cars,

00:11:27but others like to get out and wander around.

00:11:29As we look at the side of the Minardi and a little bit of work,

00:11:32and that's the dry ice being packed all around the electronics.

00:11:34It goes into the air intakes to keep those radiators.

00:11:37The heat soak gets enormous, and it is quite warm now at Manicour.

00:11:42I always wonder, John, about some of this ice and the water dripping out on the track and the poor guy behind.

00:11:47Not that there's many guys behind, of course.

00:11:48The fond mental Minardi's on the grid, but it always worries me.

00:11:51Derek, that's the penalty of being down the grid.

00:11:54You've got to get yourself to the front.

00:11:56But we're going to take a break.

00:11:57But before we do, we're going to have a look at the local press.

00:12:00Alain Prost is featuring heavily.

00:12:02Not one to stop up reasonably.

00:12:03Micah Hackett and Michael Schumacher and Jean Alési.

00:12:06So, join us back here in Manicour after the break.

00:12:13Welcome back to the Mercedes-Benz pre-race show on Fox Sportsnet.

00:12:19Down on the grid, Jean Alési talking to the team.

00:12:21Some of them are journalists.

00:12:22They're going to get that little word, that extra word, to tell why it's going to happen, what's gone wrong.

00:12:28Austrian Grand Prix in two weeks' time.

00:12:29Sunday, July the 16th, 10 a.m. local on Fox Sportsnet.

00:12:35And looking down the grid, Micah Salo.

00:12:37Now, he's going possibly to be at Toyota in 2001 through to 2004 for a rumoured, Derek, US$24 million.

00:12:45Over the four years, let me say.

00:12:47But that's a lot of money as a test driver, isn't it?

00:12:49Well, he's going to be a Grand Prix driver and a test driver.

00:12:52But certainly the smile on Micah Salo's face is one of those smiles that you can understand why.

00:12:56But we're going to have a look at the qualifying that occurred here Saturday.

00:13:00And a very exciting qualifying session it turned out to be.

00:13:03As always, 80-degree day.

00:13:05The track was 90-odd degrees.

00:13:07But it was nonetheless, Jean Alési went out early on.

00:13:10Everybody went out fairly early on in qualifying because of the varying temperatures.

00:13:14Jean Alési was not happy.

00:13:16But Rubens Barrichello, he gets out pretty early on.

00:13:18Sets a good time.

00:13:20And in fact, ultimately, he ended up third on the grid.

00:13:22Eddie Irvine, in my book, well, he was probably the equal star of qualifying.

00:13:26He did a wonderful job to get the Jag in sixth place on the grid.

00:13:31There goes Michael Schumacher, having not done much all weekend.

00:13:33He gets pole on his very first lap by six-tenths of a second.

00:13:37Amazing.

00:13:38David Coulthard, meanwhile, well, he had a lurid time with a litany of problems with his car.

00:13:42He had to take Micah Hakkinen's car out to try and get a time in.

00:13:46Meanwhile, Riccardo Zonta expires the Honda engine.

00:13:50That goes up big time in the BAR.

00:13:52McLaren get David Coulthard's car finally fixed.

00:13:55He gets in his own car, goes out with overzeal in this.

00:13:57He spins it on his first lap out.

00:13:59In fact, he was the quickest of anybody's lap to that point.

00:14:02So it's not to be after this.

00:14:04However, as Ralph Schumacher goes out last, can he get sixth place or even fifth place away from Eddie Irvine?

00:14:10He does.

00:14:11Gets in there with a great fifth place in the Williams.

00:14:14Micah Hakkinen still a little bit lost in some area.

00:14:17He's just not getting it together at the moment.

00:14:19These last few races have been very, very disappointing indeed.

00:14:23Ferrari go out at the end to try and protect their position on the grid.

00:14:26To see whether David Coulthard can go out and get a quicker time.

00:14:29He doesn't go quicker than Michael, but he goes quicker than Barry Keller.

00:14:32Wonderful time from David Coulthard.

00:14:35Let's hear what Michael Schumacher had to say about the track at Manicour.

00:14:40It's not a circuit I'm particularly in love with.

00:14:44Because the nature of the circuit is when it's hot, it's very slippery.

00:14:49In winter time, sometimes we come here testing.

00:14:51It's a great circuit.

00:14:52But in summer, it makes it a bit boring.

00:14:56While Michael Schumacher had the pole, Peter caught up with his brother about his fifth place.

00:15:03Yes, Ferrari and McLaren, but best of the rest.

00:15:05Ralph Schumacher, BMW, Williams F1.

00:15:07Great performance, Ralph.

00:15:08Did you get the maximum from the car?

00:15:09I think we definitely did.

00:15:11I was a bit surprised by the performance of Jaguar today.

00:15:14I mean, it was very quick, especially on Eddie's car.

00:15:17And we managed to get him in the last round, which is very nice for us.

00:15:22This circuit seems to change a lot in ambient conditions, cloud.

00:15:25What's it going to be like in the race if it's different to qualifying?

00:15:29Well, I think for the race, you have the same conditions for everybody.

00:15:32But it's going to be difficult if it stays dry and hot, especially for the tyre wear.

00:15:36But the weather forecast is that we have a dry start and a wet finish like last year.

00:15:41So we'll see how it is.

00:15:43Ralph Schumacher, very confident.

00:15:44And back to full fitness.

00:15:45And back to you.

00:15:48Well, we've heard from an expert.

00:15:49He's in fifth place in the grid.

00:15:50Let's hear from our expert, Derek.

00:15:52What are your thoughts on the factors for this afternoon's Grand Prix?

00:15:55Well, a lot depends, really, on this tyre degradation.

00:15:57The temperature of the track, everybody's mentioning.

00:15:59Will it be two or three pit stops?

00:16:00Basically, I think it'll mainly be two.

00:16:02And this is really down to how they set the cars up, how well balanced they are.

00:16:05And that's why they did so many laps in this little pre-race warm-up just now,

00:16:09to try and just see how the track has changed since warm-up some three hours ago this morning.

00:16:15Well, Giannulli, see that chromium helmet?

00:16:19And Micasello, again, seems to be very popular.

00:16:21But let's get to our email questions section,

00:16:24because we're getting a lot of questions coming in about the 2001 schedule.

00:16:28What changes are going to be in the calendar?

00:16:30Are there going to be many?

00:16:31Or what route changes are we going to see?

00:16:33And first of all, in March, we've now got Malaysia.

00:16:35It was the penultimate race of 2000.

00:16:37It's the second race of 2001.

00:16:39April's got Brazil, San Marino and Spain.

00:16:42Britain's moved to May this year from April.

00:16:44That'll make them happier, I think, back in Britain.

00:16:46Monaco goes back to a May date.

00:16:48June is Canada and the European Grand Prix in the Nürburgring.

00:16:52Then July, we see French Grand Prix and Austrian Grand Prix.

00:16:55And August, it's back to the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim

00:16:58and to the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

00:17:01September, we see Belgium, Italy and the second U.S. Grand Prix at Indy.

00:17:06Final Grand Prix of the year at Suzuka in Japan.

00:17:11And now we have some major changes to the technical regulations for next year.

00:17:15You can see them right there, but I think mainly from that page,

00:17:17the most important thing is we get that cockpit further back

00:17:20from the front wheels for driver safety.

00:17:22And then there's some more just coming up.

00:17:25And I think really it's the most important thing here

00:17:27is the larger internal cockpit area,

00:17:29which is already a little bit larger than norm.

00:17:31People like Gerhard Berg and Alexander Wurz

00:17:33to fit in so they can actually turn the steering wheel

00:17:35and shift gear at the same time.

00:17:37Well, I think all those rule changes will help a little bit

00:17:40when we look at the Jordan team as they prepare.

00:17:42But thank you very much for those emails and keep sending them.

00:17:46And here's the address to send them to,

00:17:48formula1 at foxsports.net.

00:17:51Keep them coming.

00:17:53There's Alexander Wurz, as you can see.

00:17:55Alexander Wurz, indeed, yes.

00:17:57The man I was just mentioning, he's such a tall guy,

00:17:59and he's finding it very difficult to drive the car,

00:18:01not doing at all well this year, unfortunately,

00:18:03but it must be very tight in that cockpit.

00:18:05Well, there is the busy scene on the grid.

00:18:07But before we go back, let's have a look

00:18:09at what Derek Bell and Hans-Harald Fensen did

00:18:11in the days leading up to the Canadian Grand Prix.

00:18:13They paid a visit to Indy and drove around the circuit

00:18:16the first time we had a look at the Grand Prix circuit

00:18:19from an on-board car.

00:18:23The Grand Prix of France on foxsports.net

00:18:25is brought to you by Mercedes-Benz,

00:18:27located on the web at mbusa.com,

00:18:32and by Mobile SpeedPass.

00:18:36Well, getting a little look at the beautiful River Loire

00:18:38that flows through this area of Nevers,

00:18:40where the Manicoua circuit is located.

00:18:44And the remaining schedule on foxsports.net

00:18:47for this year's championship,

00:18:48we move in two weeks' time to Austria.

00:18:50That's 10 a.m. local, as is Germany two weeks later.

00:18:53Austria, Hungary and Belgium, all at 10 a.m. local.

00:19:01The Italian Grand Prix, of course, noon local time.

00:19:04Then we go live.

00:19:05Live qualifying also on September the 23rd.

00:19:08That's Saturday, the first Grand Prix

00:19:10in the United States since 1991.

00:19:128th of October is Japan in the final Grand Prix of the year,

00:19:15the Malaysian Grand Prix, 21st of October.

00:19:19Mikko Häkkinen, the man, actually,

00:19:21was quickest this morning in the warm-up

00:19:23and really shows that he hasn't gone to sleep,

00:19:25as a lot of the people, Derek, I think,

00:19:27have been saying about Häkkinen's performance so far this year.

00:19:29Yes, they have been giving him a very hard time,

00:19:31but he seems to need...

00:19:32He's even said himself he needs, you know,

00:19:34having won two world championships,

00:19:35he needs a bit more inspiration,

00:19:36and that's why I feel in some ways

00:19:38he should move to another team,

00:19:39but then I guess that's just my personal feeling.

00:19:41Well, while everybody's waiting on the grid

00:19:43and these moments are ticking away,

00:19:45let's go back to Indianapolis

00:19:47with Heinz-Harald Frenzen and Derek Bell,

00:19:49and they take us round to that lovely Mercedes-Benz E55.

00:19:58Turn one the other way, folks.

00:20:01Turn one with the E55 is 190 km an hour.

00:20:06Yeah.

00:20:07195.

00:20:09Now, coming down here,

00:20:11what do you really think you need across the road here

00:20:14to give you a definition,

00:20:16a depth of focus for overtaking?

00:20:18I mean, you're going to be so fast,

00:20:20and that wall is just so gland, isn't it?

00:20:22That's not going to be easy to focus it.

00:20:27Maybe Bonnie will do some advertisement...

00:20:31Yes, that's right.

00:20:32Yes, no doubt.

00:20:33...on the left,

00:20:34and you can judge it from the advertisement

00:20:36on the left-hand side where the braking point is.

00:20:39That's an easy halt as well for...

00:20:41Yes, true.

00:20:42Sometimes on the track, yeah.

00:20:46But this spot has a nice flow here.

00:20:48Yes, it does.

00:20:49This is pretty fast fourth gear,

00:20:51and you're coming here very fast.

00:20:57And I think this is going to be an overtaking opportunity

00:21:00if somebody has a low downforce package, for example.

00:21:04Yes.

00:21:05He will struggle a bit more here in the infield.

00:21:08It looks wide when he does it.

00:21:10Yes, but I see what you mean.

00:21:12If they do put a wall down there...

00:21:14Try to make it 14 metres consistent.

00:21:17It's going to be quite hard on brakes, or not?

00:21:21Just a couple of places, I suppose.

00:21:23The brakes will be so cool

00:21:24when you get to the end of the straight,

00:21:26and then you're going to hit them really hard

00:21:28there and here, aren't you?

00:21:29Yes, there's two parts.

00:21:30There's one here and the end of the straight.

00:21:32Now, with a low downforce package,

00:21:34as opposed to high downforce,

00:21:36what difference does that make to your braking distances?

00:21:39Do you have any idea?

00:21:41It can make a difference up to 20 metres.

00:21:4520 metres?

00:21:46Yes.

00:21:47If it's from one extreme to the other,

00:21:49it's probably more than, I would say,

00:21:5215 metres, I would say, here.

00:21:56Nearly 1.2 miles from here to the braking zone.

00:22:00So, it's going to be the longest straight here for us.

00:22:03Absolutely.

00:22:04That's what I said when I came last year.

00:22:06It's the longest, you know,

00:22:08out-drag to Mott Hockenheim and everywhere.

00:22:11You don't find there's any drop-off there

00:22:13as you come onto that,

00:22:14and a drop-off as you come out of the exit of town.

00:22:17So, it's going to be the longest straight here for us.

00:22:19Absolutely.

00:22:20That's what I said when I came last year.

00:22:22You don't find there's any drop-off there

00:22:24as you come onto that,

00:22:25and a drop-off as you come out of the exit of Turn 1.

00:22:29No.

00:22:30No.

00:22:31Thank you very much.

00:22:32Yeah.

00:22:35Well, I must just point out

00:22:36that as we actually started that lap,

00:22:39we were coming out of Turn 1 of the Indy track,

00:22:41which is the last turn of the Grand Prix track,

00:22:43and we were doing 110 miles an hour up to 150 at the end,

00:22:46so they're going to be doing 220 miles an hour

00:22:48very, very fast indeed.

00:22:50And his brother, Ralf Schumacher,

00:22:51getting himself ready in the Williams down there

00:22:53in fifth place.

00:22:54Well, interesting, Michael Schumacher,

00:22:56he had that cool towel on the back of his neck,

00:22:58just taking every opportunity to prepare himself

00:23:01for the Grand Prix of France,

00:23:02and that's about to come up very shortly.

00:23:04So, stay with us on Fox Sportsnet

00:23:06for the French Grand Prix.

00:23:16Well, there's the sight.

00:23:17Looking forward into that very first corner

00:23:19of the Grand Courbe,

00:23:21and probably taken flat out, Derek.

00:23:23And that's Rubens Barrichello we're looking at.

00:23:26So, let's have a look and see what kind of weather

00:23:28it has been mixed in forecast.

00:23:30Right now, the track temperature's pretty hot at 80...

00:23:32108 degrees.

00:23:34The ambient temperature's 84.

00:23:36Humidity's been dropping.

00:23:37It's only 48% now.

00:23:38Chance of rain also dropping down to 15%,

00:23:41and just a hint more wind,

00:23:43well, at 4 miles per hour.

00:23:45Michael Schumacher sits pensively directly behind him

00:23:48is his teammate, Rubens Barrichello.

00:23:51As we wait to see what the light sequence

00:23:55as the cars will set off on their final parade lap.

00:23:59So, let's have a look

00:24:01at our Mercedes-Benz starting grid for this,

00:24:03the 50th running of the French Grand Prix.

00:24:05Michael Schumacher, 27th career pole.

00:24:08And David Coulthard, he did a splendid job in the spare car

00:24:11and then had to get in his own to take the lead.

00:24:13Rubens Barrichello fought hard for the front row.

00:24:15He had to be settled with the second row.

00:24:17Mika Hakkinen wasn't showing too good form,

00:24:19but he did very well in warm-up this morning, nonetheless.

00:24:23Then, Ralf Schumacher, 5th quickest in the Williams BMW.

00:24:26Pretty good, I reckon.

00:24:27And Irvine, well, I thought he was the star

00:24:29along with Michael Schumacher of qualifying.

00:24:32Jack Villeneuve may be stung by Jordan

00:24:34getting the engines that he has.

00:24:35He wants to make a point here this weekend in 7th.

00:24:37Yeah, French Grand Prix,

00:24:38the French Grand Prix,

00:24:40he wants to make a point here this weekend in 7th.

00:24:42Yeah, Frentzen was not happy with his position.

00:24:46Truly in the second of the Jordans,

00:24:48still trying to hunt down Frentzen.

00:24:50And Jenson Button still showing great form

00:24:52for a first season in Formula 1.

00:24:55Tony Herbert coming all the way from Goodwood

00:24:57where he entertained the public.

00:24:59Down in 11th place.

00:25:00Mika Salo, well, reasonably happy and content with 12th.

00:25:05De La Rosa in the lead arrows,

00:25:06and I'm disappointed.

00:25:07I thought that might have been further up.

00:25:09Vissi Keller and the whole Benetton team

00:25:10very disappointed after a fine podium finish

00:25:13in Canada two weeks ago.

00:25:16Henri de Nys in the Cyber.

00:25:17Nick Heidfeld in the first of the two Prosts.

00:25:22Alex Vert still under pressure at Benetton.

00:25:24And a disappointed and disappointing Jean Alesi

00:25:26in the second Prost.

00:25:29Riccardo Zonta in the second BAR.

00:25:31Jos Verstappen in the second arrows.

00:25:35And finally in row 11, as ever,

00:25:36Marc Genet in the Menardie.

00:25:38Gaston Massacani in his Menardie.

00:25:42The field's making its way around.

00:25:45And everybody being very cautious indeed

00:25:47as they come down to that very final chicane.

00:25:49And the hairpin bend that leads on to the start-finish line.

00:25:52Michael Schumacher slows the field down.

00:25:57There are the tracks of the French Grand Prix

00:25:59since the 50 years of the French Grand Prix.

00:26:02Le Castellet down in the south of France.

00:26:04Reims, northern France.

00:26:05Manicou, that's where we are.

00:26:07Ten Grand Prix at Manicou.

00:26:08Rouen, in sort of north-western France.

00:26:11Dijon, Pinoy, Clermont-Ferrand.

00:26:13And of course, Le Mans, Derek.

00:26:14Yes, Le Mans, where they had the race at the Bugatti circuit.

00:26:17Not the full circuit that we race on in the sports cars,

00:26:19let me add.

00:26:23Well, let's watch the start as the lights comes on.

00:26:25This is going to be a tense moment.

00:26:26It's going to be Schumacher to try and dive.

00:26:28But let's listen to the start.

00:26:35And a pretty wicked start from Schumacher.

00:26:37He blocked Coulthard, big time,

00:26:39and let Barracuda get second place,

00:26:41Ferraris one and two.

00:26:42Very shrewd move there by Bacchus-Schumacher.

00:26:45Not a good one necessarily technically,

00:26:47but my goodness, it worked.

00:26:51And look, the charge now down the straight,

00:26:53the quickest part of the circuit,

00:26:54190 miles an hour.

00:26:55Ferrari, Ferrari, McLaren, McLaren.

00:26:58Oh, and it looks like Irvine and the Jaguar

00:27:00are trying to get a long shot down the inside.

00:27:02Disappointing start from Irvine.

00:27:03He was sixth in the grid.

00:27:12I'm kind of surprised that Michael Schumacher

00:27:14doesn't get into a little bit more trouble

00:27:15for some of this blocking that he does at the start.

00:27:17Whether he did block David Coulthard,

00:27:19but impression I got was that Coulthard

00:27:20had a magnificent start,

00:27:22but Michael still had that car length in front of him,

00:27:24which, of course, he has the advantage on the grid anyway.

00:27:27But look at him now,

00:27:28and this is going to extend the gap.

00:27:30But look at him now,

00:27:31and this is going to extend like crazy.

00:27:34Another great start coming from Jacques Villeneuve.

00:27:36He's in fifth place.

00:27:37There he is, Jacques Villeneuve.

00:27:39Come all the way up.

00:27:40Starting seventh, Irvine dropped back.

00:27:42The two Jaguars midfield.

00:27:44Is Michael Schumacher doing what he does best?

00:27:46But David Coulthard pushing Barrichello

00:27:48into the chicane heavily.

00:27:49But Salo, what a super start from Salo.

00:27:54Come across the stripe for the first time.

00:27:55Schumacher, Barrichello, Coulthard, Hacken,

00:27:57and Jacques Villeneuve.

00:28:00And then it's Ralf Schumacher.

00:28:06The field beginning to space out quite a lot already.

00:28:10Schumacher just pulls away from...

00:28:12Look at Ruben Barrichello.

00:28:14Must be a second and a half, two seconds.

00:28:16This is the second lap.

00:28:18David Coulthard disappointed at that front-row grid position.

00:28:21Derek, he didn't get any use of it.

00:28:22Oh, dear.

00:28:23David's nearly running up the back of the Ferrari there.

00:28:26But Ruben still gets it as he comes out.

00:28:29Gets his line right.

00:28:30David, of course, goes in maybe just a tad too fast.

00:28:33David's going to be very upset with this

00:28:35because we saw it in Canada.

00:28:36David would have had such a great race

00:28:38against Michael Schumacher had he not been penalized.

00:28:41And here we probably have...

00:28:42Oops.

00:28:43It's a little bit sideways there.

00:28:45That was Ralf Schumacher.

00:28:46Just a little bit heavy on the brakes.

00:28:48And he's got Jarno Trulli all over the back of him.

00:28:50And that might give Trulli an opportunity to sneak ahead.

00:28:53This is through the Imola corners.

00:28:59Derek, you know, just looking,

00:29:00I mean, watching Micah Hacken in fourth place,

00:29:02even though it's only the second lap of this 72-lap race,

00:29:06it just looks as if Micah's sitting there.

00:29:08There's no momentum.

00:29:09There's no energy coming from him whatsoever.

00:29:11No, he has lost...

00:29:12Seems to have lost a lot of momentum.

00:29:14However, one has to say,

00:29:16to drive any of these cars at the pace they're doing

00:29:18is outstanding.

00:29:19But he has lost some bit of fire somewhere along the line.

00:29:22Well, McLaren have never had a success at Manicou.

00:29:24In fact, they haven't won a French Grand Prix, I think, since 89.

00:29:27But Micah Hacken in that fourth place,

00:29:29being led by his teammate, David Coulthard.

00:29:31And you can see the difference.

00:29:32I mean, just visually,

00:29:33Coulthard looks like he's got the car by the scruff of the neck.

00:29:36And he's almost sort of putting the magnets

00:29:38on the back of Rubens Barrichello's Ferrari,

00:29:40this time a little bit further away from the back of the Ferrari,

00:29:43not running or overrunning

00:29:45as they were in the Adelaide hairpin bends.

00:29:48He needs to get that acceleration.

00:29:49Needs that neat drive out.

00:29:51He needs that to sort of really keep behind that Ferrari.

00:29:54Of course, the thing is,

00:29:55let's watch this.

00:29:56Jordan has a little look down.

00:29:58Oh, what a good piece of driving there by Trulli.

00:30:01He got the job done.

00:30:02Trulli gets past Ralf Schumacher,

00:30:03but Schumacher's going to come back again.

00:30:05He had the better exit,

00:30:06and he's probably got a little bit more momentum, Derek.

00:30:08Yes, absolutely.

00:30:09This is what happens a lot,

00:30:11and this is when sometimes

00:30:12somebody has to make an absurd move down the inside.

00:30:14They actually lose that correct line.

00:30:17And of course, the correct line here is all important

00:30:19for getting that bite and traction,

00:30:21because that's where the rubber is, the grip.

00:30:23The whole question of grip here

00:30:24has been the topic of the weekend.

00:30:26Track temperatures affect it very, very greatly indeed.

00:30:28Everybody's on the super soft tyre.

00:30:30Nobody's bothered with the slightly harder tyre.

00:30:37Well, we're riding there with Rubens Barrichello

00:30:39for a short, brief moment out of turn

00:30:41at the last turn into the ground curb.

00:30:43Let's watch him.

00:30:45130 mile an hour through there in fourth gear.

00:30:53180 miles an hour.

00:30:55Look at the lead Michael Schumacher already pulled out.

00:30:57It's two and a half seconds,

00:30:58and that's a pretty big lead at this early start of the race,

00:31:01but most fast laps in this Formula 1 career.

00:31:04But Michael Schumacher's taken the lead with 42.

00:31:06Alain Prost, of course, retired as a team owner, 41.

00:31:09And Nigel Mansell, who's playing golf these days,

00:31:11with 30.

00:31:18In fact, that gap between Schumacher and Barrichello

00:31:21is opening up literally now by the corner,

00:31:24while the rest of the field,

00:31:25which is led by Barrichello, Coulthard in third,

00:31:28Hackett in fourth,

00:31:29Jack Villeneuve's a fine fifth place with Villeneuve.

00:31:32He's really staying pretty much stationed.

00:31:35Ralph Schumacher managed to get the lead

00:31:38Yes, the real curve.

00:31:39As they go to the final chicane,

00:31:41coming into the last corner before the pits,

00:31:43first gear corner.

00:31:45Ralph Schumacher all over the kerbs,

00:31:47really trying very hard to keep Trulli at bay,

00:31:50but also wants to get in terms with his fellow German

00:31:53Heinz-Harald Frentz and the Jordans,

00:31:55who are in the lead.

00:31:56And he's got the lead.

00:31:57He's got the lead.

00:31:58He's got the lead.

00:31:59He's got the lead.

00:32:00He's got the lead.

00:32:01He's got the lead.

00:32:02He's got the lead.

00:32:03He's got the lead.

00:32:04He's got the lead.

00:32:05He's got the lead.

00:32:06The Frentz and the Jordan looking pretty easy at the minute,

00:32:09where Ralph Schumacher looks to be pushing extremely hard,

00:32:12and there's Williams BMW.

00:32:18Further down the field,

00:32:19Pedro de la Rosa in the arrows,

00:32:2013th for Lazy,

00:32:21up to 14th in the grass,

00:32:22Fisichella disappointing Benetton.

00:32:24They've been disappointing all weekend.

00:32:26Heidfeld, Verstappen and Sontag.

00:32:28Diniz, Wurz and the second of the Benettons,

00:32:30and then finally,

00:32:31and that must be terrible for Wurz,

00:32:33to be just ahead of those two Menardis,

00:32:35without sports having to do.

00:32:38Michael Schumacher again,

00:32:39keeps knocking those fast laps in.

00:32:42Look at Ralph,

00:32:43little Ralph Schumacher there,

00:32:45after four laps is the field.

00:32:48We'll be back here in Manicours in a moment.

00:32:54Welcome back to the Grand Prix of France from Manicours,

00:32:57and our top five is unchanged.

00:32:59It's still Michael Schumacher leading,

00:33:01and his teammate Rubens Varichello,

00:33:03David Coulthard third,

00:33:04Mika Hakkinen fourth,

00:33:06Jack Villeneuve,

00:33:07still in fifth place.

00:33:11Ralph Schumacher muscling that Williams run,

00:33:13now closer to the back of Fenson.

00:33:16Fenson getting a bit of a hurry up from the German.

00:33:20I'm sure the pits,

00:33:21the Jordan pits were saying much the same thing,

00:33:23Derek.

00:33:24And the Williams doesn't seem to be using as much road,

00:33:26as the Jordan does,

00:33:27I have to admit,

00:33:28through the corners,

00:33:29and you think Ralph would have a lot more turbulence,

00:33:31and less stability right behind the Jordan.

00:33:33Couldn't get the grip,

00:33:34but he looks very, very good at it,

00:33:36looks very sort of confident.

00:33:39Three and a half seconds,

00:33:403.6 seconds,

00:33:41but let's look at that start,

00:33:42that was controversial.

00:33:43Schumacher was very aggressive at the start.

00:33:46All five lights are on,

00:33:47when they go out,

00:33:48then it's go.

00:33:49Schumacher goes right to left,

00:33:51and really pushes Coulthard,

00:33:52Coulthard's got to back out,

00:33:53and that allows Rubens Varichello through.

00:33:56Well, it might have been a plan, of course,

00:33:58that Ferrari had to allow Varichello through,

00:34:00but it certainly,

00:34:01I thought it was pretty damn unfair on David Coulthard.

00:34:07The fields stream out of that long,

00:34:09astral corner of Jack Filner,

00:34:11brilliant start from seventh up to fifth.

00:34:14He's been drawn along, in effect,

00:34:16although he's dropped back from the tail of Hakkinen,

00:34:18but he's in sort of free air of his own,

00:34:20he hasn't got Frentzen close to him,

00:34:23and he's sort of running comfortably in fifth place.

00:34:27I'm sure nobody's really concerned about it,

00:34:28but you'll notice there are no cigarettes

00:34:30or tobacco markings on any of the cars.

00:34:32Ferrari's running completely white,

00:34:33where they normally have Marlborough,

00:34:35and, of course, you see the drivers' names

00:34:37on the McLarens, where you'd normally see West.

00:34:41This is because of very severe tobacco limitations in France,

00:34:44of all places, where they seem to smoke and drink

00:34:46more than anywhere else in the world.

00:34:47In fact, talk about the drinking,

00:34:49there's no alcohol advertising in the cars either,

00:34:51except in the case of the BRR,

00:34:53who have got a non-alcoholic beer,

00:34:55so they can run that.

00:34:56But it's one of those things that's,

00:34:57France have got these very strict laws,

00:34:59that go into a restaurant and try and look

00:35:01for the no-smoking zone, it's out in the street.

00:35:05It's rather amusing, too,

00:35:06because, obviously, the Lucky Strike

00:35:08have a red roundel on their car,

00:35:10and they were told,

00:35:11well, you mustn't remove your roundel,

00:35:13because it refers to Lucky Strike.

00:35:14They said, no, it doesn't refer to our cut-engine manufacturer,

00:35:17Honda, Japanese for the rising sun.

00:35:19And they've been allowed to get away with that one,

00:35:21and, well, that's the fine line of interpretation.

00:35:26This battle for second place still,

00:35:28David Coulthard can't really get to terms

00:35:30with Rubens Barrichello,

00:35:31and maybe just,

00:35:33as you see, David Coulthard,

00:35:34who's had a very good season to date,

00:35:36he's had two wins,

00:35:37one second place, one third place,

00:35:39and leads his team-mate by those two points.

00:35:42Coulthard's really taken the momentum and initiative

00:35:44away from the really favoured driver

00:35:47in the McLaren team,

00:35:48and I don't know what's going on.

00:35:52You wanted me to say something about that,

00:35:53don't you, Tom?

00:35:54I think, Derek, I mean,

00:35:56you give us your views, because you...

00:35:58No, I feel very strongly, too.

00:35:59I don't think David's had the upper hand at all at McLaren.

00:36:02I think it's wonderful to see him getting in there

00:36:04with this inspired driving he's had of late.

00:36:07As we watch, I think, Fizzi Kelleher working over

00:36:12the back of the...

00:36:15John Alese, in fact, yes, battling away.

00:36:18A very disappointing race for Alese.

00:36:20He's all...

00:36:21Well, he's got up to 14th, still maintaining it,

00:36:23that battle between Fizzi Kelleher and himself.

00:36:26You know, they're working hard.

00:36:27They're going to work harder in reality

00:36:28than the cars at the front of the field are doing.

00:36:31Again, a long line of cars,

00:36:33all bunched up,

00:36:35nobody able to get close enough

00:36:36to make that little dive.

00:36:38And here's where we saw Schumacher,

00:36:39Ralph Schumacher, that is,

00:36:40try to get past Trulli.

00:36:42And...

00:36:45These cars back here just don't seem to work,

00:36:47and there's this great aggravation

00:36:49in the Prost team versus Peugeot.

00:36:51He's saying that, in some of the newspapers,

00:36:53that, you know, he's never known

00:36:55an engine manufacturer

00:36:56to take so little interest

00:36:58in what the team is actually doing.

00:37:00Peugeot, very upbeat,

00:37:01and saying they're going to go somewhere

00:37:02very good next year.

00:37:03But I don't know if any team necessarily

00:37:04would necessarily want it.

00:37:06They need a real partnership.

00:37:08Teams need partnerships.

00:37:09The actual engine package

00:37:10has been sold to a Japanese consortium,

00:37:13and that will be supported by Peugeot.

00:37:17That battle, Ralph Schumacher and Frenson,

00:37:19can't get any closer than that.

00:37:21But that package may well be the package

00:37:22that Prost has got to use 2001.

00:37:25He certainly would like to move on,

00:37:27but there's no obvious engine supplier

00:37:29currently in the marketplace for him,

00:37:31with the exception of the Mugen Honda engine,

00:37:34the engine currently in the Jordan

00:37:35we're looking at,

00:37:37behind Tyrell Frenson and Jarno Trulli.

00:37:39That engine is being freed up,

00:37:40but what the politics will be within Honda

00:37:43now that Honda are going to support

00:37:44two official teams,

00:37:45well, we'll have to wait and see in that one.

00:37:48In fact, the Jordan team

00:37:49had a stunning year last year.

00:37:50They finished up third

00:37:51in the Manufacturers' Championship.

00:37:53At this point in the season,

00:37:54they'd scored 31 points.

00:37:57This year, 10 points.

00:37:59And, of course, they won this race one year ago

00:38:01in appalling conditions.

00:38:03Torrential rain and very clever strategy

00:38:06in the pits and a superb drive

00:38:08by Heinz and Frenson

00:38:09saw Jordan take the first of their two wins

00:38:12in the 99th season.

00:38:17The future of Formula One

00:38:19with the Williams team

00:38:20looking very bright indeed.

00:38:23We're hearing conflicting stories, Derek,

00:38:25about the future of Jenson Button.

00:38:27Initially, this weekend,

00:38:28it said that Button's position

00:38:30was looking stronger in the team.

00:38:32And then today,

00:38:33the stories are sort of suggesting

00:38:36that maybe Montoya might be free.

00:38:38In other words,

00:38:39he wouldn't be coming back

00:38:40to Formula One this year.

00:38:41And, of course,

00:38:42we're hearing conflicting stories

00:38:44about the future of Jenson Button.

00:38:46In other words,

00:38:47he wouldn't be taking part

00:38:48in his third year

00:38:49with the Ganassi team in kart racing.

00:38:50So, very confused picture

00:38:51at Williams in that respect.

00:38:52I think it depends

00:38:53just the way you look at it.

00:38:54In my opinion,

00:38:55Chip Ganassi, I know,

00:38:56has another year's contract,

00:38:58I believe, with Montoya

00:39:00to stay in champ cars.

00:39:01But, of course,

00:39:02if Montoya wants to go to Formula One,

00:39:06it's no good keeping a driver

00:39:07on that really wants to leave.

00:39:09And I'm sure Chip is a human enough person

00:39:11to accept that.

00:39:12And he knows he can,

00:39:13with his wonderful team,

00:39:14could get the pick of the bunch

00:39:15for a fine driver

00:39:16for next year

00:39:17to replace Montoya.

00:39:18I think another factor

00:39:19that's very important to consider

00:39:20is the longer Montoya stays

00:39:22with the champ cars,

00:39:23Formula One and champ cars

00:39:25are going in different directions.

00:39:26The regulations in Formula One,

00:39:28particularly in relation to tyres,

00:39:30make these cars very unpleasant,

00:39:32twitchy, nervy cars to drive.

00:39:34In contrast,

00:39:35I think the champ cars

00:39:36are a little bit more flexible,

00:39:38a little bit more forgiving.

00:39:40Get Montoya out

00:39:41as soon as possible.

00:39:42That would be my advice.

00:39:46Karl Schumacher, 58 starts

00:39:48in his sort of young career,

00:39:50best finish,

00:39:51second, Belgium, 98,

00:39:53and last year in Monza,

00:39:54the Italian Grand Prix.

00:39:58Battle continuing,

00:39:59second and third place,

00:40:00David Coulthard,

00:40:02third place.

00:40:04I don't know how long

00:40:05Coulthard feels he can afford

00:40:06to sit behind the Ferrari

00:40:08and let Michael Schumacher

00:40:09go off into the distance.

00:40:11And if Derek Schumacher

00:40:12should win this race,

00:40:13he would actually win

00:40:1441 Grand Prixs,

00:40:16which would equal

00:40:17the 41 wins

00:40:18of the late, great

00:40:19Ayrton Senna.

00:40:21Yes, it also makes me wonder

00:40:23why, as you said,

00:40:25Mika Hakkinen isn't doing

00:40:26a little bit more about

00:40:27working David over.

00:40:29You'd think you'd be

00:40:30chiving him along a bit,

00:40:31and he's quite,

00:40:32seems relatively happy

00:40:33to drop back

00:40:34something like two seconds

00:40:35from David Coulthard.

00:40:36Maybe he feels

00:40:37he can pull it in

00:40:38whenever he wants to,

00:40:39but two seconds in Formula One

00:40:40is a long way.

00:40:41Also, David is not giving

00:40:42Barry Keller the hard time

00:40:43I anticipated he would.

00:40:45Having said that,

00:40:46I did mention earlier

00:40:47that the turbulence

00:40:48means that they can't

00:40:49get round that long turn

00:40:50to really capitalise

00:40:52on this long straight,

00:40:53so they can't slipstream

00:40:54the way they'd like to.

00:40:55And supposedly,

00:40:56some of these regulations

00:40:57for next year will come in

00:40:58to improve that,

00:40:59but we'll see.

00:41:00Well, the only thing

00:41:01that Ferrari may have taken

00:41:02a chance with

00:41:03in Barry Keller's car

00:41:04is they may have thought

00:41:05about running

00:41:06a little bit less wing

00:41:07just to give him the advantage

00:41:08on the straight,

00:41:09and therefore

00:41:10make it more difficult

00:41:11for the two McLarens

00:41:12who were alongside

00:41:13and behind

00:41:14on the grid

00:41:15to take advantage.

00:41:16And they also might be

00:41:17considering

00:41:18a three-lap strategy,

00:41:19which I would find

00:41:20difficult to believe,

00:41:21but they may well

00:41:22have thought of that

00:41:23as being a way to do it.

00:41:24One of the Benettons

00:41:25down.

00:41:26I saw them,

00:41:27let's see,

00:41:28Gasaba, in fact,

00:41:29down.

00:41:30After that,

00:41:31they'd have them

00:41:32try to smoke

00:41:33make it difficult.

00:41:34You'll see

00:41:35Jean Alesi,

00:41:36we believe,

00:41:37in the crossed.

00:41:38In the field.

00:41:40Re-gathering,

00:41:41there it is.

00:41:42Oh!

00:41:43You can see why.

00:41:44It's that he got touched.

00:41:45So that was

00:41:46teammate Heidfeld,

00:41:47I think it was the one

00:41:48that did the touching.

00:41:49The two crossed

00:41:50coming together

00:41:51and then suddenly

00:41:52a cloud of smoke

00:41:53for the Arrows

00:41:54and Zonta

00:41:55in the second

00:41:56with the VARs.

00:42:01So as we have a look

00:42:02at the midfield

00:42:03after 11 laps

00:42:04of this French Grand Prix,

00:42:05we'll be back

00:42:06at Manucor

00:42:07in a moment.

00:42:12Welcome back

00:42:13to the French Grand Prix

00:42:14from the garage

00:42:15of Scuderia Ferrari.

00:42:16I'm by a set

00:42:17of Barrichello

00:42:18Bridgestone tyres here.

00:42:19Interesting to note

00:42:20that two days ago

00:42:21on Friday,

00:42:22Barrichello

00:42:23limited the number

00:42:24of laps he did

00:42:25on the circuit

00:42:26to only six.

00:42:27That was to conserve

00:42:28sets of tyres

00:42:29for the race.

00:42:30Back to you.

00:42:31Well,

00:42:32he may well need them too.

00:42:33I mean,

00:42:34the fresher the tyres

00:42:35get,

00:42:36the quicker they can go

00:42:37and it's right now

00:42:38where he's obviously

00:42:39pushing those tyres

00:42:40to the limit

00:42:41to keep David Coulthard

00:42:42behind him.

00:42:43Yes, he is.

00:42:44And there's that battle

00:42:45that we've seen

00:42:46pretty much from the start

00:42:47of the race.

00:42:48Heinz Hauer-Frenzen

00:42:49currently in 6th place.

00:42:50Ralf Schumacher,

00:42:517th.

00:42:52Jarno Trulli in 8th.

00:42:53Now,

00:42:54that top 8

00:42:55have basically remained

00:42:56unchanged.

00:42:57But up to 9th place

00:42:58is Jensen Button

00:42:59and 10th place,

00:43:00the first of the Saubers

00:43:01of Micasalo.

00:43:02We saw a good start

00:43:03from Eddie Irvine,

00:43:04a disappointment

00:43:05for the Jaguar team

00:43:06after a very strong qualifying.

00:43:08Here are the top 6.

00:43:11It's Michael Schumacher,

00:43:12Rubens Barrichello,

00:43:14David Coulthard,

00:43:15Mikko Häkkinen,

00:43:16Heinz Hauer-Frenzen

00:43:17in 6th.

00:43:18Jack Villeneuve

00:43:19still on his own

00:43:20in 5th place.

00:43:21Well,

00:43:22you just mentioned

00:43:23Eddie Irvine.

00:43:24Now,

00:43:25Jaguar is setting up

00:43:26in the pits.

00:43:27So,

00:43:28maybe Eddie's got a problem

00:43:29in coming in.

00:43:30They do seem to qualify

00:43:31from time to time

00:43:32exceptionally well.

00:43:33I do have to remember

00:43:34that at the beginning

00:43:35of the season,

00:43:36we were told

00:43:37that there wasn't

00:43:38a single component

00:43:39on that Jaguar

00:43:40that was carried over

00:43:41from the Stuart

00:43:42from last year.

00:43:43Maybe they should have

00:43:44carried all the components

00:43:45over and had a

00:43:46damn slight better car.

00:43:47I think that's certainly

00:43:48an opinion

00:43:49that would be one

00:43:50that I'm interested

00:43:51in to follow.

00:43:52But thinking about pit stops,

00:43:53most teams,

00:43:54we believe,

00:43:55are going to go

00:43:56for the two-stop strategy.

00:43:57A three-stop is possible,

00:43:58but two stops

00:43:59we would expect

00:44:00to occur somewhere

00:44:01around laps 26 to 28.

00:44:02The second stop

00:44:03is somewhere

00:44:04around 48 to 50.

00:44:05So,

00:44:06we have a little bit

00:44:07of way to go yet.

00:44:08This is the real battle

00:44:09of Ralf Schumacher

00:44:10running behind

00:44:11Heinz Howard Frentzen

00:44:12in that seventh place.

00:44:13Frentzen the last

00:44:14of the point scorers

00:44:15currently.

00:44:16He's coming through

00:44:17that quick flip-flop.

00:44:18An interesting thought,

00:44:19Derek,

00:44:20from Eddie Jordan.

00:44:21He's saying,

00:44:22you know,

00:44:23Formula One

00:44:24needs to get

00:44:25a bit of a kick

00:44:26in the pants.

00:44:27Well,

00:44:28he's been getting

00:44:29a kick

00:44:30in the pants

00:44:31and he may

00:44:32well have to

00:44:33eat those words

00:44:34or perform.

00:44:35Well,

00:44:36exactly.

00:44:37Well,

00:44:38I think

00:44:39he will perform

00:44:40and it makes you wonder

00:44:41because we understand

00:44:42when Bill Nerve

00:44:43heard that Honda

00:44:44were going to be

00:44:45supporting the

00:44:46Jordan team,

00:44:47he was on the phone

00:44:48to Eddie saying,

00:44:49hey,

00:44:50what about me?

00:44:51And I tell you what,

00:44:52he's not a bad bet

00:44:53for Eddie.

00:44:54He's the sort

00:44:55of driver

00:44:56Eddie would adore

00:44:57and it's the sort

00:44:58of opportunity

00:44:59in my book

00:45:00to go and raid

00:45:01the piggy bank

00:45:02to pay Jacques Villeneuve.

00:45:03He don't come cheap

00:45:04and that was going

00:45:05to be the choice

00:45:06for Bill Nerve,

00:45:07I think.

00:45:08He might get some help

00:45:09from Honda.

00:45:10Interesting thought.

00:45:11Quite an interesting thought,

00:45:12yeah.

00:45:13He knows the engine,

00:45:14he's worked with them

00:45:15all this year

00:45:16and they know

00:45:17the strengths

00:45:18of Jacques Villeneuve

00:45:19and he is

00:45:20outstandingly fast.

00:45:21We look over

00:45:22John Tot's shoulder

00:45:23at all the screens.

00:45:24He can plug in,

00:45:25as you know,

00:45:26to any of the screens

00:45:27around the circuit

00:45:28and any of the in-car

00:45:29cameras to see

00:45:30what's happening

00:45:31to his cars.

00:45:32Just interesting there

00:45:33in the happen band,

00:45:34different lines

00:45:35from Coulthard

00:45:36to Barrichello.

00:45:37We heard

00:45:38Coulthard likes

00:45:39a sort of

00:45:40lightly softer line

00:45:41than we saw Barrichello.

00:45:42We noticed it in qualifying

00:45:43yesterday as well,

00:45:44didn't we?

00:45:45It was interesting

00:45:46to see that he did

00:45:47take that different line

00:45:48at times.

00:45:49Not a pretty sight

00:45:50but that's John Tot

00:45:51working out the strategy

00:45:52and looking at the screens

00:45:53and thinking about

00:45:54what he's going to do

00:45:55and as we mentioned

00:45:56looking at strategies

00:45:57the Prost team

00:45:58are already beginning

00:45:59to prepare

00:46:00putting the tyres,

00:46:01getting them

00:46:02certainly available.

00:46:03They can't put them

00:46:04out until

00:46:05they've actually

00:46:06told the driver

00:46:07or advised the driver

00:46:08that they're ready for him.

00:46:09We saw that happen

00:46:10in Canada

00:46:11when it went to rain

00:46:12and Barrichello

00:46:13arrived in the pits

00:46:14and found the pits,

00:46:15the Ferrari pits,

00:46:16empty

00:46:17for just service

00:46:18Michael Schumacher.

00:46:19So on lap 18

00:46:20the Prost team

00:46:21and that would sort of

00:46:22fit into the kind

00:46:23of three-stop strategy

00:46:24that we might have seen

00:46:25so if the Prost team

00:46:26are go

00:46:27and there's a

00:46:28is that

00:46:29it is

00:46:30B.A.R.

00:46:31Yep

00:46:32it is indeed

00:46:33and that looks like

00:46:34it's gone off

00:46:35fairly heavily

00:46:36Ricardo Zonta

00:46:37so we have to think

00:46:38about Prost

00:46:39how can you do

00:46:40a three-pit stop

00:46:41in a race

00:46:42when you're so far

00:46:43down the field?

00:46:44Now obviously

00:46:45I would suggest

00:46:46John

00:46:47that they were so worried

00:46:48about tyre degradation

00:46:49that there's no way

00:46:50they knew they could go

00:46:51half distance

00:46:52with a heavier tank of fuel

00:46:53I'm sure that must be it

00:46:54because the car

00:46:55is not well-balanced enough

00:46:56and we said this

00:46:57at the beginning

00:46:58that the well-balanced cars

00:46:59are the ones that can do

00:47:00the two stops

00:47:01Well that means

00:47:02Alain Prost

00:47:03is going to have

00:47:04no fingernails left

00:47:05by the time

00:47:06this season finishes

00:47:07he never had very many

00:47:08really

00:47:09and what a disappointment

00:47:10for him

00:47:11and for Jean Valese

00:47:12and for of course

00:47:13the French crowd

00:47:14the home crowd

00:47:15on a particularly busy

00:47:16sports weekend

00:47:17in France

00:47:18with the final

00:47:19of the Euro 2000

00:47:20football match

00:47:21France versus Italy

00:47:22later on this evening

00:47:23in this world-famous

00:47:24one month long

00:47:25bicycle race

00:47:26the Tour de France

00:47:27that started

00:47:28Saturday

00:47:29in France

00:47:30That was a very

00:47:31very good shot

00:47:32of the pit exit there

00:47:33which there's been

00:47:34a certain amount

00:47:35of controversy

00:47:36because the cars

00:47:37as they line up

00:47:38to go into the Grand Cours

00:47:39they have to come

00:47:40across the pit exit

00:47:41and the cars are flying

00:47:42out of there

00:47:43at very high speed

00:47:44and the drivers

00:47:45have been very concerned

00:47:46about it

00:47:47Yeah in fact

00:47:48they had to ban

00:47:49drivers during practice

00:47:50starts and qualifying

00:47:51because they were

00:47:52destroying laps

00:47:53for people on the

00:47:54qualifying run

00:47:55so they banned that

00:47:56in the race of course

00:47:57the pit lane is open

00:47:58you just take your chances

00:47:59be you on the race track

00:48:00or coming out of the pits

00:48:01there may be a blue flag

00:48:02there to warn you

00:48:03of oncoming traffic

00:48:04but it's not mandatory

00:48:05to stop

00:48:06You did mention

00:48:07Jean Todt just now

00:48:08and has to say

00:48:09that he's done

00:48:10a tremendous job

00:48:11as we hear that

00:48:12Johnny Herbert's gone in

00:48:13for Jaguar for a pit stop

00:48:14but they've done

00:48:15a tremendous job

00:48:16Jean Todt has been there

00:48:17seven years

00:48:18it seems amazing

00:48:19he's been there so long

00:48:20Yes it's actually

00:48:21the first time

00:48:22when he joined Ferrari

00:48:23and he was brought in

00:48:24to really

00:48:25get that team

00:48:26restructured

00:48:27as we look

00:48:28Jean Alési

00:48:29for Prost

00:48:30and it's a slow

00:48:31slow pit stop duel

00:48:32the clock stopped

00:48:3311.2

00:48:34and Alési

00:48:35will not be

00:48:36a very happy man

00:48:37even more unhappy

00:48:38than we've seen him

00:48:39Well he might have

00:48:40flat spotted his tyres

00:48:41John in that spin

00:48:42which might have

00:48:43necessitated him going in

00:48:44because you don't need

00:48:45any imbalance at all

00:48:46look at Ralfs

00:48:47coming up inside

00:48:48Heinz Harald

00:48:49You see Ralf can do it

00:48:50in the slow corners

00:48:51but in those fast corners

00:48:52the grand curb

00:48:53on an Estoril

00:48:54he can't get close enough

00:48:55due to the turbulence

00:48:56because he gets

00:48:57the low grip

00:48:58at the front of his car

00:48:59so he can't make

00:49:00the most of it

00:49:01on the straight

00:49:02but here he's

00:49:03right close behind him

00:49:04Fairly evenly matched

00:49:05with a bit of give and take

00:49:06around the circuit

00:49:07but

00:49:08Ralf Schumacher

00:49:09is tenacious

00:49:10he is a Schumacher

00:49:11after all

00:49:12and

00:49:13there's another German

00:49:14driver ahead of him

00:49:15Derek

00:49:16do you think

00:49:17there's a few

00:49:18little

00:49:19arrows pointing forwards

00:49:20little bit of needle there

00:49:21I think

00:49:22see look how he drops

00:49:23back through that

00:49:24he just cannot

00:49:25stay that close

00:49:26because of the turbulence

00:49:27plus you know

00:49:28he's just degrading

00:49:29his front tyres

00:49:34Ralf Schumacher

00:49:35pretty much now

00:49:36recovered

00:49:37as we look at

00:49:38Nick Heidfeld

00:49:39diving in

00:49:40for the past team

00:49:44Chris Ingell is in

00:49:45as well

00:49:46I have to say John

00:49:47just Ralf Schumacher

00:49:48he got that nasty injury

00:49:49back in the Monaco Grand Prix

00:49:51and they have a problem

00:49:52with this car

00:49:53oh there's

00:49:54look at Ella's face

00:49:55exasperation

00:49:56disappointment

00:49:57just what have I got to do

00:49:58he wants to go away

00:49:59and hide frankly

00:50:00I bet he wished

00:50:01he'd never bothered

00:50:02to think about

00:50:03Formula 1 team management

00:50:04but I think he saw

00:50:05Jackie Stewart

00:50:06doing such an inspired job

00:50:07and thought this

00:50:08is really what I'd like to do

00:50:09I mean he is

00:50:10totally in love with

00:50:11Formula 1

00:50:12but

00:50:13now look at Ralf

00:50:14just all over the back

00:50:15of that Jordan

00:50:16one of the younger

00:50:17of the two Germans

00:50:18who was actually

00:50:1925 today

00:50:20or even yesterday

00:50:21yes Friday he was 25

00:50:22and

00:50:23you know

00:50:24long future ahead

00:50:25and Harold Fenton

00:50:26also in the news

00:50:27and the prospect

00:50:28of him leaving now

00:50:29the Jordan team

00:50:30with that new Honda

00:50:31factory deal

00:50:32I would think

00:50:33is pretty much

00:50:34gone

00:50:35I think the options

00:50:36that he had

00:50:37Jaguar

00:50:38which is one in particular

00:50:39Jaguar keen to get

00:50:40a German driver

00:50:41in their team

00:50:42I think that one's

00:50:43going to be forgotten

00:50:46The other bit of the news

00:50:47is where

00:50:48Dario Franchitti

00:50:49is actually going to have

00:50:50a test drive with Jaguar

00:50:51in the next couple of weeks

00:50:52I'm not so sure

00:50:53that he should really go there

00:50:54I think he'd be better

00:50:55off staying just where he is

00:50:57Well I think the same thing

00:50:58applies to Franchitti

00:50:59if he wants to be

00:51:00a Grand Prix driver

00:51:01and I'm certain he does

00:51:02at some point in his career

00:51:03he's got to get out of

00:51:04champ cars

00:51:05as quick as possible

00:51:06and

00:51:07it may not be the best

00:51:08team in the world

00:51:09right now

00:51:10but believe me

00:51:11with the Ford Motor Company

00:51:12behind Jaguar

00:51:13you've got to believe

00:51:14they've got the budget

00:51:15to make that thing work

00:51:16It might take

00:51:17two or three years

00:51:18that Franchitti

00:51:19wants to be a part of

00:51:20but well

00:51:21it's a longer term project

00:51:27Ooh

00:51:28and just here

00:51:29the way Virch came out

00:51:30when we were talking

00:51:31about that pit lane exit

00:51:32that was close

00:51:33So we look at the leaders

00:51:34Barrichello second

00:51:35Kulthar third

00:51:36Mika Hägglund fourth

00:51:39We're going to take a break

00:51:40We'll be back when we call

00:51:41in a moment

00:51:46Welcome back to Manukau

00:51:47David Kulthar

00:51:48has just taken

00:51:49second place

00:51:50away from Rubens Barrichello

00:51:51Put him maybe

00:51:52a little bit asleep

00:51:53down at the Happenband

00:51:54Derek

00:51:55Yes well I think

00:51:56Rubens must have had

00:51:57a bit of a moment

00:51:58in the long

00:51:59long right hander

00:52:00leading on to it

00:52:01through the Estoril curve

00:52:02and David came right

00:52:03down inside him

00:52:04Oh

00:52:05the Herbert's

00:52:06out of the race

00:52:07That's the Jag

00:52:08out of the way

00:52:09I'm afraid to say

00:52:10Another DNF for them

00:52:11But David Kulthar

00:52:12now has a bit

00:52:13between his teeth

00:52:14Now what will

00:52:15Mika Hägglund do

00:52:16Is he going to

00:52:17respond to this

00:52:18Or is it maybe

00:52:19that Barrichello's

00:52:20having a little problem

00:52:21with his tyres

00:52:22He was working them

00:52:23very hard

00:52:24But David Kulthar

00:52:25goes by in a very

00:52:26very impressive manner

00:52:27Well once he's got

00:52:28the McLaren

00:52:29ahead of the Ferrari

00:52:30he seems to be able

00:52:31to pull away

00:52:32quite comfortably

00:52:33Michael Schumacher

00:52:34leads 7.2 seconds

00:52:35after 22 laps

00:52:36Barrichello

00:52:37back to third place

00:52:38Hägglund now

00:52:39Maybe that's the

00:52:40wake up call

00:52:41that we need

00:52:42But look at the

00:52:43back markers

00:52:44of the Minardis

00:52:45And that'll give

00:52:46Hägglund

00:52:47the run

00:52:48Hopefully

00:52:49He's now got

00:52:50caught behind the

00:52:51Minardi as well

00:52:52Hägglund probably

00:52:53hoped that the

00:52:54Minardi would pull over

00:52:55And it hasn't

00:52:56And he's had to

00:52:57go up the inside

00:52:58Jack Villeneuve

00:52:59dives into the pits

00:53:00also

00:53:01So on lap 23

00:53:02We'll see the

00:53:03first and remaining

00:53:04of the VAR

00:53:05hand us in

00:53:06Button

00:53:07Jensen

00:53:08Button up to

00:53:09sixth place

00:53:10That's very good

00:53:11from tenth on the grid

00:53:12That's Ralph

00:53:13in the pits

00:53:14He stalls it

00:53:15Does he know?

00:53:16He manages to

00:53:17get a gear

00:53:18These cars of course

00:53:19got anti-stall devices

00:53:20on them

00:53:21And I think that one

00:53:22might have saved

00:53:23Ralph

00:53:24He pulled the clutch

00:53:25got the revs back up

00:53:26and got the car

00:53:27underway

00:53:28But here's the

00:53:29young man

00:53:30First season of racing

00:53:31He's actually

00:53:32raced here

00:53:33many times

00:53:34in Formula 3

00:53:35So he felt

00:53:36relatively comfortable

00:53:37He suddenly

00:53:38discovered a

00:53:39Formula 3 car

00:53:40and a Formula 1 car

00:53:41But of course

00:53:42he's only been racing

00:53:43three years

00:53:44so

00:53:45it's quite

00:53:46everything he does

00:53:47is certainly

00:53:48a steep learning curve

00:53:51Race leader

00:53:52Michael Schumacher

00:53:53Coulthard pulling in

00:53:54on him

00:53:55pulled four tenths

00:53:56on that lap

00:53:58Happening in the pits

00:54:01Not a bad time

00:54:02to bring him in

00:54:04There we see

00:54:05the reigning

00:54:06world champion

00:54:07in the pits

00:54:08And it doesn't

00:54:09look well

00:54:11The time says it

00:54:12but it looks so

00:54:13it almost looks like

00:54:14a slow motion

00:54:15that my climbing team

00:54:16so well practiced

00:54:17at this pit stop

00:54:18Yeah

00:54:19Quite an early stop

00:54:20if he's on a

00:54:21two-stop strategy

00:54:22But he's right

00:54:23if he's on a three-stop

00:54:25Jenson Button

00:54:26who momentarily

00:54:27found himself

00:54:28up in sixth place

00:54:29He's now come in

00:54:30for his service

00:54:31the first of the afternoon

00:54:32and we're going to

00:54:33see at least

00:54:34one more

00:54:35This is lap

00:54:3624

00:54:37And the young

00:54:3820-year-old

00:54:39gets back

00:54:40onto the track

00:54:41I tell you

00:54:42they're going to be

00:54:43jolly nearly

00:54:44on three-lap

00:54:45on three-stop strategies

00:54:46It's a 72-lap race

00:54:47and they're coming

00:54:48on lap 22 to 24

00:54:49That's quite a battle

00:54:51They're going to have

00:54:52to stop three times

00:54:53I'll tell you

00:54:54The three-stop strategy

00:54:55will come in

00:54:56on laps 19 to 22

00:54:57on lap 19 to 22

00:54:59Yeah

00:55:00They're just on

00:55:01the outside envelope

00:55:02of that three-stop strategy

00:55:03And Ferrari

00:55:04are preparing

00:55:05So

00:55:06who will it be?

00:55:08It is

00:55:09the race leader

00:55:10Michael Schumacher

00:55:11He's having

00:55:12one of those

00:55:13perfect Ferrari pit stops

00:55:14that we've seen

00:55:15on many occasions

00:55:21Woo-hoo

00:55:22Give it some revs, Michael

00:55:23Out he goes

00:55:24And that was

00:55:25a relatively short stop

00:55:26He didn't take

00:55:27a great deal of fuel

00:55:28on board

00:55:29And I think

00:55:30that reason is

00:55:31to just extend

00:55:32when he gets back out

00:55:33to give him performance

00:55:35Which will be

00:55:36with the weight

00:55:37and also

00:55:38with the rubber

00:55:41Eighth

00:55:42Career Grand Prix

00:55:43Three-time winner

00:55:44Ninety-four in Benetton

00:55:45Ninety-seven and ninety-eight

00:55:46of course

00:55:47with the Ferrari team

00:55:49And Ferrari's won

00:55:50the French Grand Prix

00:55:51no less than eleven times

00:55:52while Lotus and Williams

00:55:53have won it seven

00:55:54But apparently

00:55:55Walev just won it four

00:55:56And as you mentioned earlier

00:55:57the last was in 89

00:55:58a long time ago

00:56:00David Coulthard

00:56:01assumes the lead

00:56:02having gotten past

00:56:03Ruben Barrichello

00:56:04a lap or so ago

00:56:06But Coulthard

00:56:072.1 seconds ahead

00:56:09of second-place Ferrari

00:56:12Coulthard comes up

00:56:13through the Imola

00:56:14So let's look back

00:56:15And I mean

00:56:16it's a strange thing

00:56:17I don't

00:56:18He got a fantastic run

00:56:19and Barrichello

00:56:20had to go one way

00:56:21then the other

00:56:22But certainly, Derek

00:56:23out of the corner

00:56:24Well, absolutely magnificent

00:56:25Like he had another

00:56:26fifty horsepower

00:56:27But I think it was

00:56:28that Barrichello

00:56:29was so confused

00:56:30going in there

00:56:31trying to look in his mirrors

00:56:32to see what was happening

00:56:33He actually completely

00:56:34got the wrong line

00:56:35going in

00:56:36So we've had

00:56:37this is the second

00:56:38of the McLaren's

00:56:39race leader

00:56:40into the pits

00:56:41McElhin came in

00:56:42a couple of laps earlier

00:56:44And at the same time

00:56:45the Ferrari team

00:56:46are getting prepared

00:56:47for Rubens

00:56:48Oh, short stop again

00:56:50Yeah, he'll have

00:56:51gained some time

00:56:52on Michael Schumacher

00:56:53Penn's watch Schumacher

00:56:54There's Rubens Barrichello

00:56:55coming behind him

00:56:56Coming out behind him

00:56:57Pretty close to good

00:56:58A very good stop

00:56:59for Ruben

00:57:006.6

00:57:01That does make a difference

00:57:02The key is the outlap

00:57:03Schumacher we know

00:57:04was blinding

00:57:05Those outlaps

00:57:07Let's see

00:57:08Let's make a Hakkinen

00:57:10Who is

00:57:11we think

00:57:12our race leader

00:57:13as the computer

00:57:15updates the situation

00:57:16Hakkinen of course

00:57:18made his stop

00:57:24Oh, he didn't quite

00:57:25get in tight there

00:57:30So Schumacher

00:57:31Hakkinen, Barrichello

00:57:33As we get a little

00:57:34closer

00:57:35we can see

00:57:36the dive

00:57:37down the inside

00:57:38the two-jawed

00:57:39wooden drivers

00:57:40Oh dear

00:57:41That was a very

00:57:42upsetting little piece there

00:57:43I think

00:57:44for Heinz Auerfrenzen

00:57:45As we see

00:57:46one of the

00:57:47cross goes flying

00:57:48across the grass

00:57:49Oh dear

00:57:50So you don't want to

00:57:51come back on

00:57:52and nail the other car

00:57:53going through the corner

00:57:54beside you

00:57:55No, and drag a whole bag

00:57:56full of gravel

00:57:57onto the track

00:57:58as well as

00:57:59Michael Schumacher

00:58:00now settles in

00:58:02Schumacher of course

00:58:03Right at the

00:58:04start-finish line

00:58:05Oh sorry

00:58:06at the end of the pit lane

00:58:07not the start-finish line

00:58:08Here's the start-finish line

00:58:09right here

00:58:12As they come across the line

00:58:14Michael Schumacher

00:58:165.3 seconds

00:58:18ahead of David Kruisthard

00:58:20Further one and a half seconds

00:58:21ahead of Hakkinen

00:58:22Rubens Barrichello

00:58:23the loser on that

00:58:24altogether

00:58:25He was second

00:58:26then he went to third

00:58:27now down to fourth place

00:58:29Long, long gap

00:58:31So we wait for fifth

00:58:32come across

00:58:33We should assume

00:58:34that's still going to be

00:58:35Jacques Villeneuve

00:58:37It's Pedro de la Rosa

00:58:38that was pulled up

00:58:39by the end of the pit

00:58:40the pit road there

00:58:41against the wall

00:58:43And then Jano Trulli

00:58:44in sixth place

00:58:48So let's look at the

00:58:49pit-stop times

00:58:50Michael Schumacher

00:58:518.8

00:58:52Hakkinen 7.5

00:58:53Kruisthard 7.3

00:58:54Barrichello 6.6

00:58:55Now that's strange

00:58:56Barrichello had the

00:58:57quickest stop

00:58:58but he lost out

00:58:59Now whether that's

00:59:00Derek down to

00:59:01laps or

00:59:02I have a stink feeling

00:59:03looking at the traffic

00:59:04that was around

00:59:05when Rubens came out

00:59:06I think he was held up

00:59:07a little bit or

00:59:08was thwarted a little bit

00:59:09by the traffic

00:59:10as he came out

00:59:12The two Jordans

00:59:13and the two Williams

00:59:14running now

00:59:15seventh

00:59:16eighth

00:59:17ninth

00:59:18and tenth

00:59:22Jano Trulli

00:59:23he did really muscle

00:59:24his way past his teammate

00:59:25I think Fenton

00:59:26a little bit

00:59:27unhappy with that one

00:59:28I would be too

00:59:29I think it's a

00:59:30necessary move

00:59:31but we're seeing Trulli

00:59:32now starting to

00:59:33stretch his

00:59:34stretch that gap out

00:59:35I'm surprised that

00:59:36Ralph dropped back

00:59:37that bit

00:59:38and the Jenson button

00:59:39got so close

00:59:40because Jenson was

00:59:41quite a way behind

00:59:42but he did have some

00:59:43very good clear laps

00:59:44before his fuel stop

00:59:45Well Trulli

00:59:46certainly galloping away

00:59:47from his teammate

00:59:48one would think

00:59:49maybe that

00:59:50I think Jordan

00:59:51have been altering

00:59:52their strategies

00:59:53between the two cars

00:59:54to give Trulli

00:59:55for some reason

00:59:56a shorter fuel load

00:59:57to try and get position

00:59:58Well you know

00:59:59I've run my

01:00:00took my cars

01:00:01different just

01:00:02for varying conditions

01:00:03you never know

01:00:04what had happened

01:00:05of course the drivers

01:00:06do have their own

01:00:07personal feelings

01:00:08about set up

01:00:09particularly for this circuit

01:00:11Well Fenton

01:00:13just got Ralph Schumacher

01:00:14who's had a very

01:00:15much behind him

01:00:16all weekend

01:00:17This should be

01:00:18a very interesting lesson

01:00:19for Jenson Button

01:00:20sitting there

01:00:21so relatively close

01:00:22behind Ralph Schumacher

01:00:23his teammate

01:00:24who obviously

01:00:25will be staying

01:00:26along the team

01:00:27next year

01:00:29From what I've heard

01:00:30from the Williams team

01:00:31what they're looking for

01:00:32in the second driver

01:00:33in the team

01:00:34is a driver

01:00:35that really gives Ralph

01:00:36a very very

01:00:37tough time indeed

01:00:38and while Button

01:00:39has done a great job

01:00:40for the team

01:00:41they don't think

01:00:42that he's really given

01:00:43Ralph the workout

01:00:44that the team want

01:00:45they want these two drivers

01:00:46in each other's throats

01:00:47basically

01:00:48But at the same time

01:00:49everybody knew

01:00:50that Button wasn't

01:00:51going to be able

01:00:52to set the world alight

01:00:53the poor kid's only 19

01:00:54when he joined the team

01:00:55and he's only done

01:00:56three seasons of racing

01:00:57and he's not going

01:00:58to go in there

01:00:59and wind up

01:01:00Ralph Schumacher

01:01:01he knew the deal

01:01:02when he joined the team

01:01:03Frank's a tough guy

01:01:04Derek

01:01:05and you know

01:01:06he's got no sympathy

01:01:07he says

01:01:08I give you the equipment

01:01:09I want you to perform

01:01:10and if he feels

01:01:11the drivers are underperforming

01:01:12that's tough

01:01:13Now Pence makes his way

01:01:14down the hill

01:01:15down to Duquesne

01:01:16Join us here

01:01:17on Fox Sportsnet

01:01:18for the French Grand Prix

01:01:19we'll be back

01:01:20in a moment

01:01:23Welcome back

01:01:24to the Grand Prix of France

01:01:25here at Manucure

01:01:26David Coulthard

01:01:27there you see the gap

01:01:28it's down to just

01:01:29under two seconds

01:01:30Coulthard has been eating

01:01:31well one and a half seconds

01:01:32he's been eating

01:01:33into Michael Schumacher's lead

01:01:34suddenly Derek

01:01:35they've got a real

01:01:36Grand Prix in their hands

01:01:37and it's a Grand Prix

01:01:38for the lead

01:01:39a very inspired

01:01:40David Coulthard

01:01:41who was blamed

01:01:42for never overtaking

01:01:43now he's overtaking

01:01:44never making an impression

01:01:45on other cars

01:01:46he's doing an outstanding job

01:01:47not being phased out at all

01:01:48by Michael Schumacher

01:01:49look at him

01:01:50gobbling up the back

01:01:51he's within a second now

01:01:52and once you've got sight

01:01:531.3 seconds

01:01:54as they come across

01:01:55the line

01:01:56Coulthard

01:01:57fired up

01:01:58and giving this

01:01:59while Michael Schumacher

01:02:00had galloped into the lead

01:02:01now Coulthard

01:02:02having got clear

01:02:03of Barrichello

01:02:04after the first round

01:02:05of pit stops

01:02:06charging

01:02:07look

01:02:08McLaren

01:02:09absolutely on the edge

01:02:19Schumacher down

01:02:20into the Adelaide

01:02:21hairpin bend

01:02:22there you see

01:02:23that it was less

01:02:24than a second

01:02:25David

01:02:26took three quarters

01:02:27of a second

01:02:28on that lap

01:02:29but his braking

01:02:30is outstanding

01:02:31into the Adelaide hairpin

01:02:32one has to admit

01:02:33you saw him

01:02:34time and time again

01:02:35eating right in the back

01:02:36of Barrichello's car earlier

01:02:37the brakes on that McLaren

01:02:38are outstanding

01:02:39we saw those pit stop times

01:02:40Michael Schumacher

01:02:41had a reasonable

01:02:428.8 seconds

01:02:43Coulthard

01:02:447.3

01:02:45now that relates to

01:02:46I think

01:02:47the amount of fuel

01:02:48that went into

01:02:49the respective cars

01:02:50it shouldn't make

01:02:51that much difference

01:02:52surely

01:02:53but I believe

01:02:54Michael's taken

01:02:55that much fuel on

01:02:56but we are not there

01:02:57to judge

01:02:58he has

01:02:59Ross Brawn

01:03:00one of the greatest

01:03:01tactician

01:03:02race tactician

01:03:03out there

01:03:04as his team

01:03:05tactician

01:03:06team director

01:03:07I'm sure

01:03:08he's doing the right

01:03:09things for him

01:03:10but look at

01:03:11David

01:03:12all over the back

01:03:13and there's traffic

01:03:14ahead

01:03:15and it's going to

01:03:16happen to Michael

01:03:17as he comes

01:03:18into the fast

01:03:19corners

01:03:20Lacour

01:03:21and Estoril

01:03:22he's going to

01:03:23have a hard time

01:03:24getting around

01:03:25this next

01:03:26long right hander

01:03:27but he might be

01:03:28able to get close

01:03:29enough to get a run

01:03:30as they get down

01:03:31into that Adelaide

01:03:32hairpin

01:03:33well it's his brakes

01:03:34that do

01:03:35are a major

01:03:36strong point

01:03:37Schumacher's

01:03:38got traffic

01:03:39ahead of him

01:03:40but he's going to

01:03:41try and do

01:03:42Derek

01:03:43surely his position

01:03:44himself

01:03:45but look at

01:03:46Coulthard

01:03:47traffic moves

01:03:48to the left

01:03:49lets the leaders

01:03:50go through

01:03:51Coulthard

01:03:52came up there

01:03:53look at him

01:03:54right alongside

01:03:55Mika Hakkinen

01:03:56not far behind

01:03:57either but Rubens

01:03:58Barrichello

01:03:59is certainly

01:04:00looking as the

01:04:01second driver

01:04:02in the Ferrari

01:04:03team at the

01:04:04moment

01:04:05suddenly

01:04:06from what

01:04:07we've seen

01:04:08in testing

01:04:09McLaren

01:04:10were quickest

01:04:11in testing

01:04:12over a week

01:04:13ago

01:04:14here in

01:04:15France

01:04:16they were

01:04:17quickest this

01:04:18morning

01:04:19in the warm

01:04:21very very

01:04:22quick entry

01:04:23not too heavy

01:04:24an impact

01:04:25on the tyre

01:04:26barriers

01:04:27those barriers

01:49:35time to be in a position in the McLaren Mercedes-Benz team where he can actually win

01:49:41and Adrian Newey from the team the aerodynamicist the technical director of McLaren

01:49:47receives the winner's constructors trophy Micka Hakkinen receives his second place from Madame

01:49:53Buffet the Minister for Sport in France and Micka doesn't look really all that unhappy about

01:49:58finishing second and that's something fairly new I think for all of us to have to deal with

01:50:03Rubens Barrichello well it was a sort of a drive to the finish and Michael Schumacher's

01:50:08retirement of course maybe that signaled that Rubens Barrichello was also maybe going to be

01:50:13required to just back off we didn't want to see two Ferraris retiring but now it's this champagne

01:50:19spray it's mum champagne Coulthard runs off stage so he's going to give it to the team the mechanics

01:50:25and David he's never afraid to take a good mouthful a good swig and there's his own little

01:50:32version of the Fountain of Trevi and straighten the eyes from Rubens Barrichello nothing worse than

01:50:38neat champagne and eyes that have been sweaty and

01:50:42strained over two hours of grumpy racing Hakkinen nice dueling champagne

01:50:46so David Coulthard celebrates on his cool down lap the driver's press conference will be coming

01:50:56up in a moment on Fox Sportsnet stay with us and listen to what they have to say welcome back to

01:51:02Manukau and let's go to the press room immediately to hear from a jubilant David Coulthard Micka

01:51:06Hakkinen and Rubens Barrichello welcome to the top three finishes in the 2000 French Grand Prix

01:51:12David Coulthard Micka Hakkinen and Rubens Barrichello David despite an event eventful start

01:51:18which saw you get stuck behind Rubens so smooth so aggressive so fast was there ever a moment in

01:51:24that race that you thought you weren't going to win yeah just after the start when I dropped down

01:51:30to third place uh it's one thing believing you have a quick car it's another thing finding a

01:51:35way past and I have to say initially I had a lot of understeer and Rubens was actually quicker

01:51:40but once the car sort of settled down then I was able to sort of play to the strengths that I had

01:51:45which I was very good on the brakes we ran quite low wing to be good at the end of the straight

01:51:50to give me the opportunity to get in the inside and from there I just felt that I always knew that

01:51:57I had the chance to overtake and it was just a question of weighing up the risk and you know I

01:52:02have to say that in the end both Rubens and Michael were very fair hard but fair and it was a good race

01:52:09tell us a bit more about that first attempt when you tried to overtake Michael at the Adelaide

01:52:12hairpin you seemed a bit unhappy about it well I have to apologize for my hand gestures that's not

01:52:18at all in keeping with the sport but as you can understand probably my emotions are running high

01:52:24I know to be in a battle in a position to battle for the championship I needed to win here today

01:52:30and that's what I'm trying to get done and I felt that I had a clean run on Michael on the outside

01:52:35and equally I felt he drove me wide now you know you could say well he has the right to do that

01:52:41because he has the track position but I think a deliberate gesture in driving someone wide that's

01:52:46not his normal line made me very angry which is why I gave the unsporting gesture but

01:52:55there's there's children watching so I shouldn't be I shouldn't be showing it again

01:52:59but ultimately I was able to get the inside later and although I expected him to close the door

01:53:05again he he realized I was alongside far enough and how about strategy in this race was it pre-set

01:53:10or did you change mid-race we had flexibility and we did adjust it slightly to try and read

01:53:16where we were with traffic and and how the car was running and we had an idea as to what the

01:53:20pace would be before the pit stop and what the pace would be after the pit stop we also made

01:53:24an adjustment to the car for the balance and the car was much better after the stop so to to all of

01:53:31my guys who've had an incredible weekend hard work to all the mechanics to my engineers and to everyone

01:53:37who helps me to pit wall I have to say this this race was as much about them as it was about me

01:53:41making the maneuver so a great effort from the team David many congratulations Micah that seemed

01:53:46to be quite an uneventful race for you but but were you happy with the car yes and no I mean

01:53:54I wish I would have been one second quicker than anybody else so there is always there is always

01:54:01a little bit unhappiness with the car you're never 100 100 pleased but the reality is we

01:54:07were the quickest cars on the track so I cannot complain too much you got past Michael with 12

01:54:14laps to go did you try and push David towards the end or were you told to just ease off a little by

01:54:20the team no because after immediately when I when I saw Michael going off well he had a problem

01:54:25whatever I realized David was so far away and I thought you know everything what happened you

01:54:34know you know what happened in the start example and the way the race started I thought hold on

01:54:38second we are first and second here and I think this is the fabulous situation for the team

01:54:44and it's no point to start now pushing like mad out there and to risk

01:54:52myself a risky car and the risk of points but we are able to get this race so I decided to

01:54:59just look how far the Rubens is running and and and driving that space that way he cannot catch

01:55:07great many congratulations thank you thank you Rubens you got ahead of David at the start but

01:55:12seemed to drop away from Michael quite quickly did you have a problem with your car no not at

01:55:17all I mean it was just settling on the race and making it easy a little bit for Michael and

01:55:25basically I thought at the beginning I could handle it quite well David behind me but then

01:55:32after I don't know 10-15 laps the tires were starting to give up a little bit and his car

01:55:39was quite quite fast and quite fast on the straight as well so then he was quite difficult

01:55:44because I was he put a lot of pressure on the braking and I was in difficulties on the braking

01:55:52and then he overtook me on the exit of the corner two slow pit stops as well can you talk us through

01:55:58those well I mean the first one was just a slow pit stop the second one was a problem on the right

01:56:03on the front right well that's dropped me back 10 seconds from from them because I heard that

01:56:12Mika had a so-so pit stop as well so I could eventually had pass him again and but today

01:56:20we were not the happiest ones on the pit stop following Michael's retirement were you told by

01:56:26the pit wall to slow down to preserve your engine gearbox yes yes they told me Michael had a failure

01:56:31on the engine and because I had 35 seconds for Jacques they told me to back off well done Rubens

01:56:40thanks David we go to Austria now you're six points ahead of Mika 12 points behind Michael

01:56:47how has this race changed the world championship in your opinion well it's put us right back where

01:56:52we were after Monaco and what I have to make sure obviously in Austria that close the gap further

01:56:58and it's it's doable obviously we've benefited a little bit from Michael not finishing today but

01:57:04I'm glad that we were able to pass him on the track and show our pace and pretty confident

01:57:09going to Austria thanks David and now a word from Mika and Rubens in your own languages well there's
