Herbert blames flies

(11-Jul-98) - Johnny Herbert was left frustrated about being unable to
qualifying ahead of Sauber team-mate Jean Alesi in the British Grand Prix
-- but blamed the lack of insects for his fortunes.

The Briton, who will line up ninth on the grid after being just
three-thousandths of a second slower than Alesi, said, "I don't think
it could have been much closer between Jean and I."

"Maybe if I'd squashed a couple more flies at high speed the nose of
my car would have been long enough to cut the timing beam a fraction before
his did!"
