KIMI RAIKKONEN
"We have completed our programme as planned and have
a good idea on which Michelin tyres we are going to select.
The car's balance has not been great today and we have suffered
a little from understeer but we are confident that we will
find a solution and see further improvement in tomorrow's
session."
JUAN PABLO MONTOYA
"We struggled a little bit throughout both sessions with
a lack of grip which tended to make the car too understeery,
but even so we made progress throughout the session. Otherwise
we are comfortable that we will be more competitive tomorrow
going into qualifying and the race."
RON DENNIS
"An uneventful Friday practice. The grip levels today
were very low making it difficult for both drivers to set-up
their cars. Tomorrow should be a different story."
NORBERT HAUG
"We focused on running our planned programme and our
times in race trim look not too bad."
