Jerez: They said…

Rubens Barrichello (Williams) 1?19??832, 1st: “We covered long runs and tested several things on the car. This morning, for the first time, we were able to try several types of new tires. The FW33 behaves as it should and I am happy with it. We encountered some problems but we went in the right direction and it was positive to be able to complete so many kilometers.”

Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber) 1?20??601, 2nd: “For me these two days were very interesting. Even though we lost a little time on track, we covered enough kilometers and learned a lot from the new tires. We still have a lot to learn but these were very positive tests.”

Fernando Alonso (Ferrari) 1?21??074, 3rd: “I’m very happy. After four days, no problem for Felipe, no problem for me, so we can say that we are making big progress. We know that tire wear will be different from 2010. We are therefore working particularly hard on their degradation. In Barcelona, ​​from Friday, we will continue to torment the car by setting out to complete more than a hundred laps every day?

Sébastien Buemi (Toro Rosso) 1?21??213, 4th: “90 laps today and even more yesterday. We can be satisfied with that. For the first time I put on super soft tires then, at the end of the day, the intermediate ones. It was better than nothing because I don't think we will encounter rain between now and the first race. Reliability has improved since Valencia, so we will now have to focus a little on performance.

Bruno Senna (Lotus) Renault) 1?21??400, 5th: ?The day was productive, I think the team appreciated the feedback I provided them. It took me a few laps to acclimatize to the SRC and the moving rear wing but it's now well ingrained in my brain. Afterwards it becomes second nature.”
