Marc Gene:
"It has been a pretty good day's practice today for we have confirmed last week's test and the car was very similar in terms of set-up if not better. I'm happy with the balance of my car and basically I had a trouble free session which allowed me to test a number of interesting settings. I feel we have got useful information to capitalise on. May be we just need to focus a bit more on the qualifying set-up because the car is very consistent albeit for one lap we still should improve a little bit so tomorrow we will concentrate on the wing level. I am confident cause it was not so bad compared to other drivers."

Gaston Mazzacane:
"I am pretty confident for tomorrow's qualifying because the car's behavior was quite good. During the first practice session I had an engine problem then at the end of the second session I spun off track and was unable to exploit the set of new tyres, as a result. I am satisfied with the first interim time I set which could bode well for tomorrow's qualifying. We are testing the new hydraulic differential which is proving reliable although it still needs further test."

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