US GP Friday Minardi notes

Marc Gené
"It is definitely an interesting circuit for Formula One. However, it is a shame that there is such a contrast between the fast part and the infield section. The banking and the straight line are impressive. In terms of car’s behaviour I suffer a bit of under-steering. Still, the intermediate times confirm that the performance is fairly good. We worked a lot on the set up of the car both in the first and in the second session and overnight we will decide which setting will be the best to use for tomorrow."

Gastón Mazzacane
"Today we did a good job on the set ups and we found a few solutions which are suitable to our car. I tested the two tyres specifications realised for this track, but toward the end of the session the first gear broke preventing me from exploiting the second set of tyres. We shall see what will happen tomorrow."
