Canadian GP Benetton Friday notes

Giancarlo Fisichella:
"The circuit was really really dirty and slippery today. I think we made some good progress with the balance but it was hard to push because of the lack of grip, as my two spins at the end of the second sessions showed."

Alexander Wurz:
"The circuit is much more slippery than last year and so my car had very low grip. II also struggled a lot with understeering. We tried a few different directions with the set-up but still find the same problems."

Pat Symonds:
"It was quite a productive day. Canada is a circuit where you have to do your race homework very carefully, particularly with regard to the brakes, and therefore we were really concentrating on the set-up for Sunday. As usual in Canada, it is very difficult to find grip on the first day and this leads to normal balance problems, but overall I think we had a useful day."
