San Marino GP Saturday Sauber notes

Jean Alesi:

The balance was fine today, but not one of my sets of tyres felt the same. We did nothing to the set-up all through qualifying, but on each run the car felt completely different, one time understeering, another oversteering. I just don't understand why.

We always say that 10th is a good position, and 15th bad, so I guess we are in the middle.

Pedro Diniz:

We improved the traction today, but I still couldn't find the perfect set-up and my car was oversteering too much, possibly in part because of the higher track temperature. Unfortunately, I just couldn't put a good lap together.

Peter Sauber:

We started here with the same car we had in Brazil, and Jean has improved his position on the grid by one place. But as soon as possible we must equip the car with the next components in our ongoing development programme, to achieve our aim of a Top 10 position.

Weather:

Sunny.
