Nico Rosberg:
“After today, I think we can definitely say we had a productive test here last week as we seem to have made good progress. Our main objective for free practice was to focus on tyre comparisons, and we seem to have collected some positive results from that. In terms of performance, we should be a step ahead of where we were in Magny-Cours, but we really will have to wait and see.”
Jenson Button:
“We achieved some useful information from our test programme today, even though the wind has moving been around all afternoon and we lost the majority of our running time this morning.
“We have a good understanding of the tyres – both the prime and the option – but there is still a lot of work to do as we are not entirely happy with the balance. We may be seventh on the timesheets this afternoon, but that doesn't necessarily reflect our level of competitiveness, and we have a lot to achieve overnight to set ourselves up for qualifying.”
Kazuki Nakajima:
“It was going fairly well before the accident. I lost the rear at the exit of turn twelve and just spun into the wall. It's annoying to make such a mistake because it cost me important track time. We'd been having a good run before that, and making good progress for tomorrow, so I also apologise to the team. I will now just keep my head down and look ahead to qualifying.”
Rubens Barrichello:
“I love the
Silverstone circuit, so I was disappointed not to have run the first session today due to the problem that we had with the rear suspension. The second session this afternoon was positive, with some good feedback from a well-balanced car. We don't know where our performance puts us in relation to our competitors yet, however I am confident of a much better weekend than in Magny-Cours.”
Timo Glock:
“That was a difficult afternoon for both cars. The problem with the clutch meant we missed out on most of the second session. In the end the mechanics did a fantastic job to get the car ready again for the last ten minutes, and we did another two runs.
