Italian GP Friday Arrows notes

The OrangeArrows Team come into this Italian Grand Prix weekend at Monza having completed 4 successful days of testing at the track last week. Accordingly a good deal of tyre evaluation and set up work had already been done and today's similar weather conditions have allowed the cars to show the competitive pace expected by the Team around the high speed parkland circuit.

Pedro de la Rosa:
'We have had a good session today, testing during the week has provided us with more information about the car's set-up, and the car was quite good and strong today as it is suited to this type of circuit. We are now concentrating on tomorrow's qualifying as this is what is important - far more important than to-day.'

Jos Verstappen:
'I am quite happy with the position that we finished with to-day, the car feels good although we have to improve the braking, which I think we will be able to do for tomorrow.'

Tom Walkinshaw:
'I am reasonably pleased with the performance today and our clear target for tomorrow is to get both cars in the top 10.'

Mike Coughlan (Technical Director):
'Testing has progressed well and the car is performing as expected, I am looking forward to Saturday's qualifying session.'
