JUAN PABLO MONTOYA
"So far so good, and we achieved everything we needed.
I did two short runs just to check the balance and then a
long run to evaluate our Michelin tyres and all went well.
I was stuck in traffic on what was meant to be a fast run,
but that is life. We have a couple of new things here which
seem to be working and the car feels good. I'm not too keen
on the new chicane, but overall I'm quite pleased."
KIMI RAIKKONEN
"Everything went well, so it's a good start to the weekend.
We spent our time working on the set-up and evaluating our
Michelin tyres, and I'm pretty confident. The weather is a
bit warmer than normal at Imola, and I'm looking forward to
the rest of the weekend. I think we have a good package, and
we should be able to do well."
RON DENNIS
"Two uneventful but productive practice sessions where
we conserved our equipment but still gained a lot of information
which we will evaluate overnight. Both Juan Pablo and Kimi
went through their planned programmes, and we are definitely
heading in the right direction."
NORBERT HAUG
"We concentrated on going through our planned programme,
and we are quite happy with the lap times so far."
