Mark Webber: "Not a bad effort at all. We have still a lot of work to do but we could not really have asked for much more today, considering a few teams have been testing on this track in the last two weeks and have of course better an understanding of the conditions here. We will learn a lot more tomorrow in the race, let's see how it goes. The new format of qualifying is a bit of a mess for the drivers and the teams in terms of organization. We have to see how it looked on TV, though."
Nico Rosberg: "I am not too unhappy about today's result, even if qualifying has been a bit of a chaos, due to the new format, but I still enjoyed it. I could have done a little bit better, maybe not much. I was pushing very hard and spun on my fast lap, towards the end of the session, but it can happen. The fact I didn't make it to the final part of qualifying means I have some small advantage for tomorrow, since we will be able to put in the car as much fuel as we like. I am now looking forward to a reasonable race."
