Preview:
"I think this track with its high speed straights should suit the Ferrari well. I do not like the chicanes very much, but I do enjoy driving the Motodrom infield section. As for the straights, I cannot say you really notice the high speeds, although if you have a problem and something goes wrong, then you realise how quickly you are going! Setting up the car is always difficult here, trying to get the aerodynamic balance right for the long straights and still having enough grip for the slow corners near the paddock."

"Generally the car feels good as we ran in race configuration all day. At first I was struggling with the balance of the car and I was losing control of the rear end. Then we made some changes and they produced a big step forward. We have found quite a good compromise in set-up terms to cope with the long straights and the stadium section. Qualifying will be very tough because you really only get one lap per run and so you have to be flat out all the time. I went off the track a couple of times. It happens when you are braking for slow chicanes from such high speeds."

"This has been a very difficult day. The car was much better this afternoon than in the morning, because of changes we made to the set-up. All the same it was a struggle. I took a lot of downforce off and that helped my time in the first two section, but it made life very difficult in the stadium. I did not have enough grip. Third row on the grid is not too bad for the race, but my car does not feel very good on full tanks, so it is going to be tough."

"I worked very hard for little reward today. My start was alright but with a little bit too much wheelspin. Then Michael was behind me and when I locked up the right front wheel under braking, he managed to get past. I could sit behind him quite comfortably. Then, before the pit stop I pushed harder and I overdid it at one of the chicanes and that lost me some time. I lost out to Fisichella in the pit stop, but I still kept pushing him because I am not here to cruise around. We must now work out why we have been off the apce all weekend here, but I think Hungary will suit us better."
