Dominic Harlow: “Whilst it was a useful day for Giancarlo, Adrian lost the entire FP2 session with a fuel cell problem. It’s one of those things that happens very infrequently and, despite working flat out, it was impossible to repair it in time for the second practice. Giancarlo worked on the tyres to compensate for the team’s reduced running and was reasonably satisfied with the overall car balance and the data that was collected going in preparation for the weekend.”

Giancarlo Fisichella: “It’s good to run with the adjustable front wing, from my point of view it made things easier. We are still struggling a little with the understeer in the slow speed corners and we need to improve traction in that area but we got through our programme today and could cover a lot of laps. I think we are doing a good job to get the developments through but I think the target now should be just to get to the end of the race and see where we are.”

Adrian Sutil: “Unfortunately in the afternoon we couldn’t do any running as there was a problem with the fuel cell and we couldn’t make the change in time to get out for the session. In any case we have our information for the set up this weekend from winter testing so I don’t think it will be a big problem tomorrow. FP1 was OK, we just tested the tyres available this weekend. We struggled a bit with the soft tyres and I wasn’t too happy with the time in the end, but Giancarlo got a lot of running in so we know what direction to take.”
