Kimi Raikkonen : It was an okay day but we still have work to do on the set-up. The steering was a small improvement but we are still working in this area. I feel fine in the car in the hot conditions, and the race will take place later in the day so I dont expect that to be a problem. I hope we will make some progress tomorrow as the car is quicker than weve shown. Having an issue with the KERS in the afternoon was frustrating but Im sure well have it fixed for tomorrow. The track is exactly as I remember it and I hope for a better qualifying than we had in Australia. Im looking forward to racing here.
Romain Grosjean: Today went pretty well with a couple of small interruptions to my sessions. In the morning there was something not quite right with the rear of the car which was soon sorted, then in the afternoon I picked up a cut on one of my tyres. Neither was a major issue. We looked at dealing with the heat and finding a good set-up for the high track temperatures here. This track feels fantastic in a Formula 1 car. Were not quite there with the set-up, but we have plenty of data to work through. I think weve got a good idea of where to go for qualifying tomorrow.
James Allison, Technical Director: In some ways it was a somewhat scrappy day after losing a tyre set on Romains car in the afternoon due to a cut which meant he lost some laps in the second session. He also had an incorrectly seated wheel nut in the morning. Kimis KERS was not playing ball for most of the second session which meant his pace was not fully representative. Those were todays nuisances, but the positives are that the E20 is working reasonably well. We have good base set-ups for both drivers. Tyre management looks OK despite the hot conditions. The pace of the car on high fuel loads looks promising.
