(SOUNDBITE) (English) SCHUMACHER SAYING: "Pole position is the best start position for the race as we all know and you simply want to achieve that, you want to have the best opportunity to really win the race and that was our target all weekend, that we want to try and win this race to really finish the championship and this is the first step for it. So I've finished, yeah? But we obviously have a good starting position and a competitive car to do the job" 13. (SOUNDBITE) (English) HAKKINEN SAYING: (Question: ...are you disappointed?) "Well, basically, yes. You know my last run was pretty good and we made adjustments to the car which helped me to go quicker. But in just the last chicane (I) obviously wasn't able to accelerate out of the corner as fast as I wanted to so obviously I'm pretty disappointed to be in second position, yes." 14. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SCHUMACHER SAYING: "Naturally this is not the race as any other. So, as you know, we can finish this championship here. The game raises, but I guess I'm used to this. On the other side, there is no point to celebrate now, big time, this pole position because it's nice but it doesn't mean, really, the end result and we have to fight for that very hard tomorrow in my view. But we are ready to do this" 15. SCHUMACHER IN GARAGE, SMILING 16. HAKKINEN IN GARAGE 17. COULTHARD IN GARAGE 18. BARRICHELLO IN GARAGE 19. BUTTON IN GARAGE 20.
