“We have a lot of useful information from the two sessions today, however as always there is still work to do. We are not quite where we would like to be yet, and as qualifying does not take place until Saturday, I have plenty of time to work with the engineers. I'm confident that we will be in a good position for qualifying, and also well-prepared for any changes in the weather conditions.”
Kazuki Nakajima:
“It wasn't an easy day for me, but I think we've made some improvements when it comes to understanding the car and I'm getting used to the track as well. Because of the free day tomorrow, we have lots of time to go through today's data which will help us prepare for qualifying.”
Rubens Barrichello:
“Our programme today was focused on the set-up of the car, as the track improves a great deal here over the sessions. We completed a good part of our work as the car feels competitive this afternoon, so I am happy with what we achieved. As always, we don't really know where we stand in terms of the competition yet, as everyone will have been running different set-up and fuel programmes.
“Monaco is always a very open race, where it is important to have a good qualifying session. Based on our work today, I believe we can have a good weekend; so let's hope that this is the case. The weather will no doubt play a part on Saturday and Sunday, as it looks like we will have some rain.”
Nick Heidfeld:
“In the first session I realised the engine was losing power, so then looked to find a good spot to stop. Of course the failure cost us running time and data, but we still managed to make several changes to the car for the second session. It was a general improvement. Taking into account it is Monaco, I would say my car is very driveable.”
Timo Glock:
“It was an interesting experience to drive around Monaco in a
Formula 1 car. This is a special event, as there is no other track like it and the circuit is fun to drive. You are quite busy out there and you have lots to do.
