German GP Prost Saturday notes

Jean Alesi
"Unfortunately today's position does not reflect the very good feeling I have with my car. I am indeed very satisfied with its balance and with the settings we have chosen. I am therefore quite happy with this qualifying session and I feel even more confident for tomorrow's race than I have ever been this season. We have a real potential to go into the battle, and we will take the best advantage of tomorrow's warm-up, in order to identify the best race strategy for our team."

Luciano Burti
"I am a bit disappointed. We managed to improve the car a lot after the difficulties we faced yesterday, and we improved again from this morning. My first run was already quite good but we tried something for the seoncd one which went in the wrong direction. On the third one, things were getting better but I could not go faster. Then, unfortunately, I made a mistake on my last outing at the first chicane. This cost me some time and I pushed very hard to improve the end of the lap, and I lost the car in the fast chicane of the Stadium. I think I just tried a little bit too hard. But I am not worried at all for tomorrow."

Alain Prost
"Even though our positions on the grid remain a bit too low, it is interesting to see that time gap is close today and that both drivers feel satisfied with their cars behaviour. Since yesterday, everything went well for our team, and the outcome of these first two days gives us further motivation to elaborate a more aggressive race strategy than usual. We will fight for the best possible result - and for points if we can."
