Bahrain GP: Sauber Sunday qualifying notes

Team Sauber Petronas drivers Felipe Massa and Jacques Villeneuve will start today's Bahrain Grand Prix from 12th and 16th positions respectively after this morning's final qualifying session.

Jacques Villeneuve:

"At least I didn't go off like yesterday, even though the car is more difficult to drive when there's more fuel in the tank, so that's a big improvement. Now I just want to concentrate on the race."

Felipe Massa:

"That was pretty much what I expected from second qualifying. It was always going to be asking a lot to stay in the top 10 with the strategy we have chosen, and I made a bit of a mistake at the end of the second sector although I don't think that actually made much difference overall. I'm still very optimistic for the race, and I think with the plan we have I can really fight hard this afternoon."
