KIMI RAIKKONEN
"A good start to the weekend and everything went well.
It's too early to say where we are compared to the competition,
but the car was working well immediately which is always positive
and we can still make improvements. I have a new engine in
the car this weekend. We spent the session evaluating our
Michelin tyres and did some general set-up work. As brakes
are crucial at this track they were also included in our programme.
I like this circuit and look forward to the rest of the weekend."
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA
"We obtained some useful data which will help us make
a decision regarding tyres. Kimi and I were evaluating different
compounds and we now need to look at all the options –
bearing in mind that it might be a bit hotter tomorrow. The
track is not too dusty, but the grip level seems really low
so I was struggling a bit. However we will now work with the
engineers on making our Michelin tyre choice and see what
happens tomorrow."
RON DENNIS
"A positive start to our Canadian Grand Prix weekend.
Kimi and Juan Pablo were evaluating different Michelin tyre
options and we will now look at the data to make the appropriate
choice."
NORBERT HAUG
"A good practice session which saw us evaluating our
race set up. We completed our planned programme and it seems
that we found a good basis for tomorrow's qualifying and Sunday's
race."
