For most of you, apart from Mark, there is something new, something different about today. Perhaps you would like to go through and tell us what it is.
Sebastien Bourdais: Well, there are a lot of new things for me this year. The first one obviously is the new track and there are a lot of things to learn and this morning was good. We took it step-by-step and in practice the discovery was quite nice. In the meantime the track was changing very quickly from very green to something better. It seemed like it was going to do the same thing this afternoon but I think we did not have the same luck as in the morning. We had very little running so not so much to talk about this afternoon

Nelson?
Nelson Piquet: It was great also for me discovering the track little by little. It is much more different inside the car than walking around the track. It is much bumpier, but it was great. It is not an easy track and unfortunately also I didn't get any running really and had a few little problems until the last 10 minutes, so I got a little running but I am happy. Things are going not as we planned but it is a start and I look forward to tomorrow.

A big difference to testing surely?
NP: Yeah, much less running. Testing is much tougher but I think it is getting used to everything. The first time I went out there was a little pressure but I got used to it. It is good to be here and I hope everything works out better.

Timo, into the big-time for you?
Timo Glock: Yes. It was a quiet session but overall the day was not too bad, I would say. It was a good feeling to be back in the car and not to have the same problems as we had in Barcelona at the last test. It was quite difficult at this test but today felt better and I just tried to get up to speed and get the car in the right balance. It is still difficult and overall the track changes quite a lot, but in the end it was okay. I still have to learn stuff about the race weekend but at the moment it looks quite okay.

Heikki, new team?
Heikki Kovalainen: A new team and I am very happy in my new team. It has been a very interesting time in my career all winter working with one of the best teams in Formula One and things have gone pretty well. I am getting used to the team and how they work. Communications is good and the car feels strong and good and driving is getting better. Today both sessions were pretty smooth, no big drama this time. I stayed on the track which is not too bad.

Same for you Giancarlo, a new team as well.
Giancarlo Fisichella: Yeah, it is obviously not a new track for me. It is a new team, a new challenge and it looks very promising. We made a big step forward in the winter time and even here it is not too bad, so I am happy about the job done so far by the team, by myself. Of course we still have a lot of work to do. It is going to be tough.

Mark, no change but a very good time. Having said that a very good position but 0.9 of-asecond behind the McLaren. Or do we not read too much into it?
Mark Webber: Fridays we always know it is not that important to read too much into it. The car is not working too bad. It is still not easy to get the consistency yet, but we will work on that tonight. I am still pretty happy with the car. The guys have done a pretty good job. We actually had a pretty smooth run and no reliability problems. We are in good shape really to start working on the car tonight and get it ready for qualifying. We are not second quickest, we are still fighting for points at the back of the points I believe, so we will see how tomorrow goes.

What were you looking for after last year from the car ad from the team?
MW: Well, obviously the reliability was very poor last year and absolutely unacceptable having the failures that we had. This year the team has worked really hard on addressing that because that is the level where everyone is now. The reliability rate is impressive and we have to make sure that we are better than other teams if not equal. That was the biggest thing we were looking for and for sure we were looking for performance and we have done a pretty good job there but we still need to improve the car. These cars are very sensitive obviously and the conditions, it was a very hot track and very windy, a few corners were very very difficult to get consistency, so everyone is in the same boat.

A message to the fans ahead of this weekend.
MW: We are off to a reasonable start. We shouldn't expect that position tomorrow because there are different programmes going on today and we just decided to do that programme. I was surprised we didn't end up a bit further down but that's the way it went. Other people probably ran a bit more fuel but anyway we are going okay. We are chipping away with our programme and the reliability is the biggest thing for us. It is only Friday and if we are there at the end on Sunday with a good smooth race, we will score points, I am sure.
