German GP Friday Sauber notes

Jean Alesi:

This morning the car was going quite well until I had a brake problem going into the second chicane. After that it needed some modifications to the brake system. These were completed for the afternoon session, but there was no time to make the changes to the rear suspension which were necessary after Pedro's problem, so I could not go out.

Pedro Diniz:

This morning my car was bottoming heavily on the bumps, and oversteering in the fast corners. Then it developed a problem with the rear suspension, which necessitated some modifications. These were carried out in time for me to do two laps this afternoon, and I was not able to better the time I set in the morning.

Peter Sauber:

We were not able to complete our programme with either of our cars today. Jean's developed a problem with the brakes, Pedro's with the rear suspension. Both problems will be solved for tomorrow.
