Definitely and I was very pleased the way the race was going anyway when Michael was in the lead..and I was able to go quicker but there was no reason for it..and then I saw Michael go off. I don't know exactly what happened but it turned out to be very good for me: that's racing, and here I am, won the race, great feeling. 12. HAKKINEN CELEBRATES 13. (SOUNDBITE)(ENGLISH) FISICHELLA SAYS this place for me is very lucky. I am so pleased about the result today, and my target was to score some points and I am on the podium I am on the second position and that is great. The strategy was perfect, just at the beginning of the race with a lot of fuel it was very difficult to drive the car because there was a lot on the steering then with a half tank I was much better when I lost my second position with I think Panis and Badoer I don't know I was very upset for that because they were a lap behind me and for that I lost my position but then Heinz Harald spun off and for that I gained a second position. It's a great position today. 14. FISICHELLA 15. (SOUNDBITE)(ENGLISH) IRVINE SAYS at the start of the race I looked after the brakes and tried to go as fast as I could without really pushing the car too much. I started pushing and then the safety car came out. There were two back markers in front of me and one of them went really badly through the dirt through the chicane and put it on my tyres and I went to turn left on the straight and it kept going straight, straight towards the wall. So I had to back off and that let DC (Coulthard) take a run and then we were side by side through the first corner, and he went wide and we took the next one and he just clipped my wheel and spun me and then it got fun. 16.
