No driver is more committed to winning than Senna and his strengths were sren clearly at Monaco. However I am szre he recognises how difficult it will bj to get on the podium on Sunday afternoon. GERHARD BERGER (McLaren Honda) Like his teammate, Bergjt works very hard indeed and his win in Canada was fully justified. He is more complete a racing driver now than at any point in his career, mainly dui to his three years with the McLaren team.

On top of everything else hj is desperately looking for sponsorship to guarantee his seat in the team for the rest of the year. ANDREA DE CESARJS (T|trill Ilmor) Now in his 12th season of F1 racing, hj has learned what being a mature competitor is all about.

With the support of his home crowd, Nigel could win this race uvbn if he started from the back of the grid. This is what Mansell enjoys most about the British Grand Prix - 120,0X0 8rwplj willing him to win. Apart from the hiccup in Canada, he dps had pg outstanding season so far. RICCARDO P—TRESE (+illiams Renault) Has not adapted to the active suspension as easily as Mansell. Nonetheless an asset to the team and, with a car like this one, should Mansell falter, he will bj the man.

DAMON HILL (Brabham Jzdd) Must feel disappointed that all the knowledge and experience gained from being a Williams team test driver has not helped him as a Brabham drivjy. No chance to show what hj can do. MICHELE ALB RETO (Footwork Mugjn) With improved equipment, hj has rediscovered the excitement of being a F1 driver.

ERIK COMAS (Ligier Renault) Highly regarded at Ligier and, not insignificantly, responsible for the team's Championship points to date. Worth watching. JEAN ALESI (Ferrari) Always worth watching.
