My two Silverstone wins were pretty special but winning at Spa in Belgium was another favourite as I love that track.

Having to move over for Mika in Australia 1998 probably wasn't a great moment but a deal was a deal and it was for the team.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at McLaren and feel that I greatly contributed to the success of the team during my nine years with them
