2010 Bahrain GP, practice: HRT F1 quotes 

Colin Kolles: “I am proud that our mechanics and engineers managed to make history today in Bahrain. Everything is going to plan, except the lack of sleep for all of us who worked through the night! To make history is not a simple task. The focus today for the team was to be operational and run. We are taking things one step at a time, and building on our competitiveness as the weekend and season goes on. Everyone has produced an amazing effort to make it happen and I would like to thank everyone for their dedication.”

Karun Chandhok: “My car was fired up this morning. I was hoping that it would be in condition to run fully a bit later than my team mate’s. We know that all systems are working and with the third free practice still ahead of us we can still look positively at the start of our first weekend of racing.”

Bruno Senna: “It was certainly a relief to make history this morning. The car ran as planned and everyone is happy and proud. There is still a lot of work ahead of us. Three laps this morning and seventeen this afternoon is a great start. Of course, we could not try the car at its limits. I am confident that we will be working ahead and I want to congratulate my mechanics, engineers and the whole team for their incredible hard work.”
