Canadian GP Minardi Friday notes

MARC GENE
Chassis 03 13th 31 laps
time: 1:22.176
"It is a shame that my free practice session ended almost 30 minutes earlier. Until that moment my car was behaving really well and I was posting fairly good and steady lap times. At one moment, while I was entering the corner before the straight line, I lost the rear car and spun off track. Apart from that, I am fairly satisfied and confident for tomorrow because the car has a good set-up."

GASTON MAZZACANE
Chassis 04 19th 47 laps
time: 1:22.606
"During today's two sessions I believe I carried out a positive and trouble free work on the car, without any mistake. I achieved a lot of laps in order to learn the track and I feel pretty satisfied with the car's response to the modifications we did. Today it was very important for me to get familiar with the track but also with the very sudden braking occurring when the aerodynamic down force is low. At the end, although I was on fresh tyres I did not improve sensibly my time due to traffic on the track. I feel satisfied but I would like to be cautious and wait to see what will happen tomorrow."

The T-car (chassis 01) is prepared for Gaston Mazzacane.
