ГП Сан-Марино. 21-23 апреля 2006 года.
Дженсон перед гонкой:
"I've always really enjoyed racing in Imola. The track has a mixture of different types of corners and a few chicanes and is quite challenging for the drivers. There's always a fun atmosphere and it's a track where I have great memories. In 2004 I qualified in pole position here, which was my first pole in F1 and finished the race in second place. It's good to be back in Europe following the first three races where we were able to achieve a podium position and some points. Obviously we were extremely disappointed with our performance in Australia, however we have made good progress in testing and I am confident we will be competitive in Imola. Hopefully it should be a good weekend for us."

Дженсон по результатам пятницы:
"We worked through our usual Friday programme and as usual have a lot of information to work with as a result of Anthony's running. We'll be taking a good look at the data tonight to assess how our developments for this race will suit us for the rest of the weekend and there is still some way to go with the set-up. Generally, a reasonably good start."

Дженсон по результатам субботы:
"I'm very pleased with the result today and to see both of us in the top three is great for the team. The car was a lot better in qualifying than this morning and the first half of the weekend generally, especially in terms of grip and with the handling over the kerbs. We did a lot of work overnight and through this morning and I'm much happier for the race. We'll have to see how things pan out though because we won't know until then what everyone has been doing through free practice but I think we should feel quite confident. The team have done a great job in addressing the issues from Australia and I think we can have a good race tomorrow."
Пресс-конференция по итогам квалификации:
Q: Jenson, a great performance. Not particularly happy with the car yesterday but a great recovery today.
Jenson: Yeah, you know we've done a lot of work overnight and also during the day and we've really improved it. We needed to because we were quite a long way off yesterday, not just on one lap but also the long run pace. I'm much happier with the car now. We did a reasonably good run in practice also so not a bad position to be in.
Q: And a strong position relative to the Renaults and the McLarens.
Jenson: Yeah, it's quite interesting. We'll have to see how the race pans out but yeah, they must be stopping very very late or they made mistakes, I don't know. I'm happy with my qualifying and it's great to have Rubens up here as well, for us both to be up here so it's a good start for tomorrow and hopefully we can make good use of it.
Q: Jenson, you have been on pole here before, so it must be becoming your favourite circuit.
Jenson: It's a circuit I enjoy very much. It's a beautiful setting, it's very narrow and you have to bounce the car off the kerbs quite a bit. I enjoy it – it's a circuit I've always gone very well at. Yeah, it's always gone well for me here.
Q: Rubens was talking about race pace. We've seen you qualifying very well but not being so good on race pace. How confident are you for tomorrow?
Jenson: It just shows what we've been doing in testing. We had some good runs today and we just have to see tomorrow, but we're reasonably happy that we've solved some of our issues and whether we have completely solved them – we'll just have to wait and see.
Q: Are we going to see a vast improvement for the rest of the season?
Jenson: I'm hoping, yeah. I know I'm smiling, but it is only qualifying. Tomorrow's the important day and hopefully we have quite a good car for the race and I'm sure we've made enough improvements.
Q: People were complaining about a lack of grip yesterday. How much better was it today?
Jenson: It was a bit better today with the grip level – maybe it was because of higher temperatures. I've struggled to get a set-up with the car, I struggled especially yesterday, and today also it's been tough, but we found a set-up that works and I'm positive for tomorrow, but it hasn't been an easy day for myself.
Q: High hopes then?
Jenson: Today's been going well, so hopefully we'll continue tomorrow.
Q: (Andrea Cremonesi – La Gazzetta dello Sport) To the Honda drivers, the key question seems to be tyre temperatures. Do you think that you found the solutions in the long runs that you did yesterday and this morning?
Jenson: The issues we had in Melbourne with the tyre temperatures and the tyre grip, I think we've solved a lot of the issues and I don't think we're going to have a problem here. The temperatures seem to be very good all weekend so I don't think we'll have an issue but you never know. We've got to wait and see. It's difficult. We hadn't driven in such cold conditions like Melbourne so it's difficult to see if we have solved the problems completely.
Q: Is it a problem that there seems to be a very narrow temperature range with the tyres this year, and this is perhaps hotter than you thought it was going to be?
Jenson: No, I think this is good for us. The hotter temperatures seem to work for us as a team and also for Michelin so I'm happy that the temperature has been good here, it's been the best for quite a few years here in Imola, I think, so it's positive for us and also for Michelin, so we're very happy.

Дженсон по результатам гонки:
"There is no doubt that we missed out on the chance of a podium today as the car was quick and we had a good strategy. I had a problem at the first pitstop with the right rear wheel going on and then in the second pitstop the lollipop was raised before the fuel hose was disconnected. Unfortunately when that happens, it takes all of the pit crew with it. The Chief Mechanic has lifted the lollipop perfectly hundreds of times before and I know he'll make sure this never happens again. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt and I know the boys will be back giving it their all at the next race. Today has been disappointing but we had the pace and we have certainly moved forward a lot since Australia. We've said this many times before but we just have to stay focused and keep pushing."
