Notes


Quotes
Coulthard: "It was great to be leading a Grand Prix again. It was a great start and I'm delighted for the team."

Hill: "The pit stops were brilliant. We calculated it very well. I was very happy with the start as well. I'm delighted because it is such a fantastic race to do well in. It's great. I would dearly love to win in Monaco."

Schumacher: "I only had three wheels going over the finish line. I was lucky the race was over."

Berger on the result: "I'm happy about it. I have been struggling this year. It's going not so well as I would want. There isn't much luck on my side this year."

Villeneuve on him and Alesi colliding: "We banged wheels at the first corner and then at the next his front wheel must have banged into my rear wheel and there was a blow-out. We changed the tyres, the car was running strong again, but then the rear-right suspension broke."
