KIMI RAIKKONEN
"My qualifying today was OK but not perfect. I think
we could have gone quicker if we had managed to get everything
working, but the changing weather conditions made things a
bit more of a challenge. The race tomorrow should be exciting,
and I think we are in with a good chance. It should be possible
for us to get our package to work perfectly, so we will see
what happens. I'm looking forward to it that is for sure."
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA
"I'm quite disappointed as I think we could have been
on the front row if I hadn't messed it up when I was on the
new tyres. I came into Turn Five a bit too aggressively, hit
the kerb and lost it, and that was it. However the car feels
great and I know we have a strong strategy for the race, but
I have just made things a bit more difficult for myself, but
we will see what happens tomorrow."
RON DENNIS
"Considering our race strategy we can be quite pleased
with the outcome of qualifying. The variable track conditions
throughout today made things more of a challenge but the team
coped very well adapting to the changing weather. As one can
imagine we are looking forward to the race tomorrow. "
NORBERT HAUG
"I think we have quite a good basis with Kimi's fourth
and Juan Pablo's fifth places. The front row was possible
taking into account that Juan Pablo was fastest after the
first two sectors and Kimi is a little bit less than two tenths
from the front row. However we think we are in good shape
for the race."
