accidents hectic lap mad manic time trying
Manic. The whole day's been manic with the weather. Rain, traffic, accidents. It was a hectic session. It was mad for us trying to get a lap time in.
fuel happy issues maybe others reasonably running solved tomorrow wait
We just have to wait and see tomorrow. We are reasonably happy that we have solved some our issues but maybe the others are running very big fuel loads. Tomorrow is the important day.
car control hit massive soon
You are not in control of the car in any way because as soon as you hit a big puddle like Liuzzi did, that's it and it could be a massive accident.
both raining
We were very lucky, the both of us, ... It just started raining just after my run.
best conditions good hope information job optimize particular results session tire
Davidson did a very good job today. He let us know the best tire to use in particular conditions and to optimize the speed. I hope we can use this information to get the best results in the qualifying session and in the race.
both cleared gets next rather soon sooner sorted year
It's better for everyone if it gets sorted out soon sooner rather than later, ... We both need this cleared up as soon as possible, we both need this sorted out before the end of the year so we can concentrate on next season.
achieve bad conditions data evening hoped improving losing morning order quite testing three track weeks work
Not a bad first day. Having said that it's disappointing that we couldn't achieve as much data as we'd hoped for after losing all of the morning session. The track conditions are quite different to those we encountered in testing here three weeks ago so we have some work to do this evening with today's data in order to keep improving for qualifying.
drivers easy hot prepared race tough
It's going to be tough for the drivers and engine, its never easy to race in this circuit. It will be very hot and very humid, I think we are very well prepared for tomorrow.

It's been a positive start to the weekend and so far so good. The circuit had very low grip but we ran through everything we intended and most importantly, it's good that Anthony completed all his test items.

It will be sort of a motivational speech. I'm sure everyone needs it. Hopefully it will make the difference.

Its a bit disappointing, but we cant help really do anything,

We had a very good race in Monza last year when we finished on the podium,
case definitely driver f1 guy love next
I love the role of being the experienced driver and that is definitely the case next year - I think I am the most experienced guy in F1 next year.
acid car corners fit hit lap legs pulling
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car, and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
