Marc Gene:
"Unfortunately we were not able to carry out a significant amount of
work today, also due to an engine problem that forced me to stop in the pit
for almost half an hour. I have got a good feeling with my car and this is
what counts for me: I have a steady car which has a good driveability on a
circuit that I like. For tomorrow it is difficult to make some predictions
especially because I don't know the margins of improvements of the other
Teams. As far as Minardi is concerned, I believe there is a good amount of
work still to be done but we can definitely improve."
Gaston Mazzacane:
"Given that this is the first time I've been driving on the Austrian
track since I am in F1, it seems to me that everything was good. I
completed more than 50 laps as we had scheduled and I tried different
settings in order to improve the car set-up for tomorrow's qualifying.
I feel pretty serene because we have worked well today. If I had put
together my best intermediate times in the same lap I would have lowered my
best timed lap further. All things considered, I feel confident for
tomorrow's qualifying."
The T-car (chassis 01) is prepared for Gaston Mazzacane.
