FERNANDO ALONSO
"Today went really well. We had a good idea of our performance
from the test last week, and although the conditions have
changed slightly since then, we were able to get an understanding
of the set-up for the race, and I am happy with how the car
felt. I missed a little time in the morning session when the
team were fixing a small problem with my steering, but it
didn’t really make too much difference to our overall
results."
LEWIS HAMILTON
"We went through our usual set-up and Bridgestone Potenza
tyre comparison work and now have a good understanding of
our competitiveness this weekend. The car feels really good
to drive round here, and we have already made some good steps
forward today. However you never know what everyone else is
doing, so we will be looking for further improvements before
qualifying tomorrow."
RON DENNIS
"A solid start to the weekend for both drivers. We took
our usual conservative approach to both sessions, so the results
so far have been encouraging."
NORBERT HAUG
"A good start to the weekend. We completed our programme
as planned following our test here last week. It looks like
we have been able to build on the work carried out there.
We now need to continue in the same direction tomorrow and
on Sunday."
