Pre race comment
Felipe Massa - "A positive dayThis is only the start of the weekend and
there is still a lot of work to do, but we have got off on the right foot. The
car is handling well, especially on the harder tyres, but we know track
conditions will improve so it is too early to draw conclusions. I think we
will be competitive: whether we will be more or less so than our rivals, I
cannot yet say."
Kimi Räikkönen - "At the start of the day, we had a well balanced car
and then, in the afternoon, we tried a modification to the front end that
we had tried at the Mugello test last week, but it did not produce the
effect we hoped for, but there was not enough time to switch back,"
Fernando Alonso - "The first day of work has gone well. The circuit is
interesting, very bumpy in places, especially into turn number seven,
and we have to keep an eye on that because it can become a problem.
In terms of the lighting, when I walked the track I was impressed, but
behind the wheel at 300 km/h some parts of the track are a bit dark. But
despite that, this is an amazing opportunity for the spectators to attend
a night race and I am satisfied with my day."
Nelsinho Piquet - "It was an interesting experience to drive today during
the night and the organisers have done a remarkable job to make this
possible. The behaviour of the car felt good and it reacted well to the
different set-up options that we tried. However, we still have a bit of work
to do ahead of qualifying tomorrow, but the first signs are encouraging."
Nico Rosberg - “In general I think we can be quite happy with our
performance today.We have started well and I feel quite confident that
we can have a good weekend. Of course there is some way to go to see
how we will shape up with the competition around us.”
Kazuki Nakajima - “In the second session I had a bit of a moment as I
made contact with the wall, but fortunately the damage was minor and I
could complete the planned programme,” he said. Looking ahead, I know
exactly the places on the track where I need to improve and I will have a
good go at this tomorrow. t’s a very tough track, hot and bumpy, probably
the bumpiest track surface we encounter all season. As a consequence,
I think it will be a pretty demanding race. The grip level is not at all bad,
maybe a little low at the moment, but by the time we get into qualifying
and the race, the track will have rubbered in well.”
Timo Glock - "I am really looking forward to this race because I believe we have a good chance to score more points. Things didn't work out for us in Monza, with the changing track conditions coming at just the wrong time for our strategy and the fight for fourth in the constructors' championship isvery close now. We are really motivated to come out on top." After Friday -
"They were both quite difficult sessions for me today. The track is really bumpy and the car is quite tricky to handle at the moment. It was a different experience driving in the lights and the whole track is a bit unusual. At the end of second practice I just lost the car when I hit a kerb and that was it, I made contact with the barrier. But that didn't affect our programme and overall we got through a lot of work today, so it was successful in that sense. So far I am not totally happy with the car and we have quite a lot to improve but I will sit down with my engineers and I'm sure we will make progress before qualifying."
Jarno Trulli - "High-downforce tracks suit our car very well and after bad luck in Spa and Monza I am looking forward to returning to the points" Defends 'safe' U-turn - “In first practice unfortunately I had a spin at the last corner and I wanted to move off the racing line as safely as possible, so I decided to go down the pit lane,” he said. I took the quickest and safest option available to me and the other cars. I have been penalised and I accept that but I know I did the safest thing for me and the other drivers – it is one of the quickest corners on the track and you don't want to have a crash there. We have been improving gradually throughout the two sessions, We are trying to find the right set-up and we have changed quite a lot on the car."
Sebastian Vettel - “I’m not happy with my car yet as it feels very loose and I don’t think we will have an easy time. So tonight we must work hard to improve it and hopefully make a step forward tomorrow.”
Sebastien Bourdais - “It’s a very nice track but, unfortunately, the quick parts are the bumpiest and so we are having to run the cars quite high, which obviously reduces performance. Globally the car is not too bad and today we have been trying to find the best set-up and assess the two types of tyre.There are no worries about running under the lights and I even ran with a lightly smoked visor. There are hardly any shadows and you can see very well.”
Nick Heidfeld - “Overall I had a good first practice day here, although my fastest lap from the second session doesn't give that impression."
