He's lost his confidence. There's no reason for that (performance)," he said. "He doesn't know why, we don't know why. Technically we can't find a reason. He just didn't do it. He just simply didn't do it. If Alex were to say to me 'I can't find the reason but I'm struggling to qualify' then clearly we've got to make a decision. And that decision could in the extreme be that for a couple of races we replace him and we cram in some testing."
At Silverstone we knew what it was, there was no decision to make and everything was fine. But it isn't fine today. I'm not going to make any decisions. People have already asked me about his future and I've said that any decision made today would be made in haste so no decision is going to be made. We've got a three-week break, there's plenty of time to think about what we're going to do. I owe it to Alex to sit down and talk to him and not make any decisions before I've talked to him because clearly something's not quite gelling there at the moment and I need to find the reasons."

Als je het mij vraagt is Stoddart veel te braaf als teambaas. De enige die hij tot nu toe heeft buitengetrapt was Tarso Marques, die het dan nog zelf voorstelde ook. Een beetje op z'n Walkinshaws zou hier niet misstaan. 12-0 voor Webber en 3-0 voor Alonso in de kwalificaties. 3 races dit seizoen niet gekwalificeerd. Minardi rijdt maar met 1 wagen, en dat is die van Mark Webber. Die andere wagen is louter publiciteitskaravaan.
Formule 1 is niet voor doetjes, maar voor kerels die willen bewijzen dat ze snel zijn en wereldkampioenambities hebben. Als je je 3 keer niet kan kwalificeren, hoor je niet bij de groep.
