A question to you all. How did things go today. Colin, would you start?
Colin Kolles: A little bit better than last time.

We saw Narain Karthikeyan stop, we saw Tonio Liuzzi stop. Can you tell us why?
CK: These were really minor issues, otherwise we would not have had the possibility to go out again. There was some electrical issue and the big smoke was just too much oil from Cosworth.

So basically some progress made today?
CK: I think so, yes. This was our first test day basically.

You said you wanted to get miles under the belt.
CK: I think we made some progress and we will make tomorrow some progress. I think it was not too bad, we have no major issues, it is just a matter to find some set-up.

Ross, today for you?
Ross Brawn: A better day than we experienced in Melbourne, so we made reasonable progress with the car. One or two minor issues but we should be able to resolve them overnight and the car wasn't too bad. We have got to find a better balance on high fuel. The tyres are pretty critical here, perhaps more akin to what we experienced at Barcelona, and when we got onto high fuel we didn't have the right balance so we suffered because of that. We have got to focus now on finding a better balance on high fuel.

How did you find the wear rate, particularly on the softs?
RB: I think if you don't have a good balance it is quite high, but if you get the balance right then it is manageable.

Eric, tell us about your day. A bit dramatic?
Eric Boullier: Yes, a bit dramatic. We had a couple of failures this morning on the uprights on the cars. First we thought it was a brakes problem, very difficult to understand and to have a proper diagnostic. It took us a lot of time to investigate properly obviously as it is a safety issue. We found out that the two failures were coming from the same batch, a different one, so we had a back-up plan and we took the decision to run and it went okay

So basically they are different uprights that you are running at the moment.
EB: No, no no. The same but different materials. We suspect there is a materials issue because it is the same design, everything is the same except it was a new part.

You wouldn't send out a dangerous car, obviously, but you feel it is perfectly safe now.
EB: Yes.

Paul, from Pirelli's point of view how did things go today?
Paul Hembery: Well, from our point of view it is almost early days. It is right we got more degradation here and there is quite a big difference between the soft and the hard, probably a second in the absolute times, so the teams are probably working out their strategies now based on that. I am guessing on a three-stop strategy, but we were surprised obviously in Melbourne with a one-stop which we certainly could not have envisaged beforehand. But three would appear from what we have seen so far today to be probably the most likely scenario.

You mentioned the degradation. What about between soft and hard?
PH: The softer grains a lot. I think that was quite clear. Everyone was doing a quick lap and then some people were backing off trying to see if it would come back. They are looking at about eight to nine laps from the data I have seen briefly.

When can you imagine them changing tyres. It looks like one minute, 43 seconds we were seeing at the end which was the fastest time?
PH: I think you have to ask this lot that. That is what they will be are working on tonight and tomorrow to work on their strategy.

Monisha, for Sauber I guess it all starts again really.
Monisha Kaltenborn: Well I hope not.

After what happened in Australia?
MK: Well, of course, the last weekend was a very disappointing one for the team. If you look at the performance I think the team did an excellent job. The drivers did a great performance, especially with Sergio Perez having that one-stop strategy and they just deserved to keep the points. With all that, if you are penalised in such a way, it just feels very, very harsh. But we focused on what we had to do and get it sorted out which wasn't a big issue as such. All it was, was a minor error. It is an annoying mistake as it cost us 10 points, but there was no great issue we had with that radius. We looked at our entire legality check procedure again to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

And today, how did things go?
MK: It wasn't a bad day for us. We had set out our programme which we could pretty much fulfill. We also had a balance issue, trying to understand the tyres better, so we have enough to do.
