Tough task ahead for iSport team....

Both iSport drivers Giedo van der Garde and Diego Nunes had a tough act to follow after iSport's success in last year's race at Monaco. On the tight streets a clean lap is always difficult and early contact with the wall compromised Diego Nunes' qualifying session along with traffic. Giedo van der Garde ran well early on but dropped down the time sheets after also being held up badly in traffic. With both iSport cars starting from P15 and P21 the team have a difficult task ahead tomorrow but the unpredictability of Monaco can always throw up some surprises which both iSport drivers will be looking to capitalise on.

Giedo van der Garde

"I had some very quick laps but every time in the last sector I was held up by traffic and after that the tyres were finished and I couldn't improve any more. I improved on the last lap but had traffic and I think I couldn't manage to do much better. After the first set of tyres I was P6 and on the second set I was much quicker by 6 tenths which was my quickest lap. But then I got a lot of traffic in the end. I will for sure try to have a good race".

Diego Nunes

"I touched the wall on the first set of tyres but the car was still ok but it was little bit different but still ok to be quick. On the second set of tyres I lost all my 7 laps behind other people and traffic. I managed to do one last lap only and that's it so I was unlucky and I should not have touched the rail but now we a lot to do for the race".
