Selected Quotes - Top 3

Aston Martin Racing DBR9 (#29) - 1st

Pedro Lamy: "It's always good to win at Silverstone - it's special. The team did a fantastic job - they are always good, but today especially. They made the difference - there wasn't much between us and our competitors in pace out there."

Peter Kox: "Obviously we're delighted with the win. Our pace was good, but it was the pit stops that made the real difference. It's great for Aston Martin to get such a result on home soil."

Aston Martin Racing Team Principal, George Howard-Chappell: "This is a great result for the team - they gave us the edge and a 1st and 2nd place finish is a fitting reward for their efforts."

Aston Martin Racing DBR9 (#28) - 2nd

Darren Turner: "The Maserati's were closing and it was important to keep the 1st and 2nd for the team The rear tyres on our car wore slightly harder in the final stint, car 29 was running faster, so I let Pedro pass."

David Brabham: "First Sebring and now here. This is another excellent result for Aston Martin Racing."

Vitaphone Racing Team Maserati MC 12 (#10) - 3rd

Fabio Babini: "The car was perfect: I had the chance to really push and put pressure on the Astons. I managed to get close but coming out of the curves they had the edge in acceleration. In any case, it was a positive weekend for is. We won a virtual first place which repays Maserati, team Vitaphone and Pirelli for their hard work that has put us at the head of the Championship". Babini was voted best driver by journalists at Magny Cours.

Thomas Biagi: "I am pleased with the thirteenth pole in fourteen FIA GT races. Fabio and I did well and even held the lead for a while. We couldn't go any quicker because we didn't have the downforce."
