Nick Heidfeld and Kimi Raikkonen finished in sixth and 11th places respectively after today's first free practice sessions for the US Grand Prix.
Nick Heidfeld
I'm happy with sixth place, especially since we were able to run near
the front all day. We made a lot of changes to the car during the two
sessions, and most of them made it better. With the car running so
reliably today we were able to get a lot of race preparation work done.
Kimi Raikkonen
We did everything that we had planned in the two hours that we ran
today, and worked on little things in the set-up. I'm satisfied with
what we achieved. It's an interesting track, but the banked final corner
is really just part of the straight because it's flat out all the way.
Peter Sauber
For us this was a normal Friday. We covered a lot of laps with both
cars, which were entirely troublefree, so we were able to do plenty of
race preparation work which has given us a good datum for Sunday, and
will also help us with our set-ups for qualifying tomorrow.
