Comments from the Toro Rosso drivers after qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix
Tonio Liuzzi:
"We have to realize this is our position and to do a better time would mean taking a short cut on the track. We suffer a bit from a lack of straight line speed but ov erall, we did a good qualifying and at least I reached the second part of the session."
"Because we lacked speed on the straight I had to go to the limit, pushing more on the corners. The car handled really well and I think, if we get through the first lap without an accident, we can have a strong race, especially as Michelin has done a good job and given us a consistent tyre, even though this is one of the toughest circuits for tyres."
Scott Speed:
"Of course I'd prefer to make it into the next part of the session, but this is pretty much where I expected to qualify anyway. I'm not disappointed because we took the definite decision to have the car set up more to have a good race pace for tomorrow rather than for today's qualifying. I think this will pay off and we should have a strong race pace and I have confidence in our tyre choice."

Position: 16th
Time: 1:16.661

Position: 17th
