Alexander Wurz:
We made a big step forward with the balance in these two sessions, we have corrected a lot of understeer on my car and the rear is more stable. So we feel quite confident for tomorrow although we still have to study the data for tyre choice which will be quite tricky."

Giancarlo Fisischella:
"We started the day with quite a bit of understeer but we made a good improvement during the sessions: The balance is good in the fast corners but we need to work on improving it in the slow ones."

Pat Symonds:
"We started the session with not a very good balance on either car but we made some steady progress and eliminated a lot of understeer. The tyres are proving hard to understand particularly as we had to change a whole set on Giancarlo's car after a cut was found in one of them."
