Brazilian GP: BAR Friday notes

Jacques Villeneuve

"We had a good first session today with no mechanical problems. It's a better Friday than the first two races; the car certainly feels better than in Malaysia. The only real change we have for this race is the new Bridgestone tyres, which seem to be helping a lot at this track."

Olivier Panis

"Compared with Malaysia, this has been a better Friday for us. This morning we were running with racing fuel and we tried different set-ups. I had a small engine performance problem which took a little time away from me, but I think we have taken the right direction so far and we have a good idea which way we are going to go with the tyres."

David Richards, Team Principal

"We've had a good solid day today and achieved everything we expected to achieve. Now we have to focus on applying what we've learned to ensure we have a positive qualifying session tomorrow."
