ROUNDS 11 & 12 QUALIFYING QUOTES
Augusto FARFUS, Alfa Romeo Racing
Team – pole position “I am happy to have
my first pole position of the year. My set-up is good and
luckily I found a fast lap. I will push and do my best tomorrow
but the first corner is going to be difficult with thee BMW
cars behind me. Spa would be a great place to claim my first
WTCC win. I don’t really mind whether it is wet or dry
tomorrow as long as the conditions are consistent throughout
the race.”
Andy PRIAULX, BMW Team UK – 2nd fastest
“This track is almost like home to me really because
the car is prepared in Belgium and we did a fair amount of
testing here over the winter. It’s a circuit I enjoy
a lot. Without a team-mate it was difficult for me to get
a slipstream but I found some traffic and managed to make
the last lap count. This year the weight system means you
could go the whole season without winning a race and still
win the Championship. I always have a heavy car so a race
win is difficult. As long as I come away with some good points
I’ll be happy.”
Jörg MÜLLER, BMW Team Deutschland –
3rd fastest “When the cars came out with their
second set of tyres I thought there was a possibility I wouldn’t
keep hold of pole position. I did my lap without a slipstream
and I know I can do the same lap time as Augusto so I’m
not worried about tomorrow. The season is only half complete
and there are still 100 points available. The weight situation
is important and I think I am one of the guys who still has
a chance to win the title.”
Jordi GENÉ, SEAT Sport – 5th fastest
“I’m a bit disappointed because everything worked
perfectly; I had a good lap and thought it would be good enough
to secure a place on the second row. I expected to lose one
place but not two. Tomorrow I would like to fight for a podium
and there is no doubt I hope for dry conditions.”
Tom CORONEL, GR Asia – 14th fastest
“Of course it is nice to start first of the Independent
competitors. I had three very good runs and great grip on
my car. I feel confident and I know I can be strong here.
D’Aste and Rosenblad start behind me and they will probably
get a better start, but I am not worried.”
