[On Michael Schumacher]

"Michael was able to read a race, when a drive is in a race they have a very limited amount of information. But Michael for instance... most of the tracks would have a live running order, and he would study that.

"I remember his first victory in Spa he was following Martin Brundle who was in the same car as him. And he saw he was having some problems with his tyres.
