Frentzen describes his medical checkup and his return to racing. "On F1�s medical chief Professor Sid Watkins orders, I was examined once more at the Cologne University hospital (on Thursday evening). After I was declared fit and healthy, Sid had a clear consience and gave the go-ahead.
In the first practice session on Friday morning my brakes overheated. We tried to overcome it with a few set-up changes, but they also led to a few run-offs as I left the track several times.
In the second part of the session, I ened up in the gravel for a completely different reason, however, I simply braked too late."
