Felipe Massa: “Despite losing time
this morning, in the end we can call this a good day. We did
some useful work on set-up and on the balance of the car and
on a comparison of the two types of Bridgestone tyre available
to us. From what we could see, we are working in the right
direction. Now, we have to analyse the data very carefully
to be as well prepared as possible for tomorrow’s qualifying
and for Sunday’s race.”
Kimi Raikkonen: “Satisfied with the
way thing went this morning, but a bit less happy about the
afternoon would sum up my day. This morning the car balance
was very good, while we struggled a bit in the second session
to find the right settings. We need to get the package we
have to work better.”
Luca Baldisserri: “Overall, this Friday
has not thrown up anything different to any other first days
of practice at the previous Grands Prix. We are struggling
a little to do a good time on the first lap on new tyres,
but our consistency in terms of performance over a long run
is encouraging. We carried out the usual Friday tasks, comparing
various aerodynamic and set-up options, as well as looking
at the performance of the Bridgestone tyres.”
