"It was
good to make it into the top ten again and to be on the fourth row is better
than I expected. But I am not really satisfied. I just couldn't get the set-up
right so I had some trouble with understeer and oversteer. That meant the car
was difficult to drive and I could not repeat the same lap times that I did at
the beginning of the session. Maybe there was something strange happening with
the wind on the track but that's the same for everyone. We're in a very tight
group of teams so we will have to push hard for a result in the race."

"That's
a disappointing result because I have been happy with the handling of the car
this weekend and I was able to push this afternoon. In Q2 we had a good
qualifying lap until turn nine. I braked in and suddenly I felt a problem with
the front right wheel. I couldn't finish the lap and I had to give up and bring
the car back. It's a shame because it was a good lap and I think it would easily
have been good enough to make the top ten. Instead this result clearly means we
have a difficult race ahead."

Vasselon - Senior General Manager Chassis
"That was a very shaky
qualifying session after a weekend that had been going smoothly so far. Timo in
particular had been having a good weekend, consistently running well with no
set-up problems. He was fast and heading for a top ten position. Unfortunately
in the second run of Q2 we had a problem with the front right wheel drive pegs
that still has to be fully analysed. He could make it back to the pits but he
was definitely unable to finish a quick lap. So we will have to investigate
exactly what has happened with him. Jarno did his usual great job - even if he
only just made the top ten after his second outing in Q2 did not go as expected.
Still, I remain confident that we are in a good position for the race. This is
probably the first time this season that the tyre choice is not straightforward
so we will see a mix of tyre strategies tomorrow."
