VALENCIA GRAND PRIX

Race Day -Sunday 2nd November 2003

DAVID DE GEA: 20th
"This weekend I was not really able to find the perfect setting and after five laps today I began to slide and it became difficult to ride the machine to the maximum. If the engine continues to be developed we really need to find some more speed and to work more on engine breaking.

This year has been a good learning experience for me. Good to work with such an experienced team that has won GP's before and I have learnt from this.

I want to thank my mechanics and my Crew Chief "Beefy" for the work this year, they have been very supportive of me and have worked long hours each weekend to give me a competitive bike."

CHRIS BURNS: DNS ­ Broken Collarbone in Free Practice on Friday

PETER CLIFFORD ­ (Team Manager)

" Good ride from David to keep pressing on all the way through. The lack of performance was really a result of us not arriving at the best set-up and tyre solution. We found some significant improvements this morning in the warm-up concerning the chassis set-up but 20 minutes wasn't enough for us to find a right tyre match to go with it.

All credit to the entire crew for a fantastic job of work throughout the year, never letting up even in the most difficult circumstances."
