The European Grand Prix 2002 left the OrangeArrows team with mixed emotions on Sunday. Both cars struggled during free practice and qualifying, but the team enjoyed a strong race - with both cars finishing, and Enrique in the top ten ! The key moments in the race for the team were:

1. Heinz-Harald Frentzen having to go wide at the first corner after the start because of a spinning Jordan.
2. Enrique making a superb start to claim 15th from 21st.
3. An off-track moment from Heinz after Enrique had let him through.
4. Another fuel rig problem for Heinz at his first stop.
5. Heinz-Harald’s dive on Jacques Villeneuve at the first corner.
6. A last lap attack from Enrique to pass Pedro de la Rosa’s Jaguar.

Enrique Bernoldi:
“I enjoyed today’s race more than any other. I had a great start and could fight for places throughout the race and basically enjoyed every bit of it! I have to say that the best bit was probably the last lap as I managed to overtake Pedro (de la Rosa) on the outside of the chicane which pleased me a lot as I didn’t want him to beat me!”

Heinz-Harald Frentzen :
“I really enjoyed the race today as I was having a lot of good fights for position. It’s a shame it wasn’t a fight for points but enjoyable nonetheless. The car felt extremely good throughout the race as we managed to sort out the balance this morning. The fuel rig problem is very annoying. I think we need to go and get a new one!”
