Sebastien Buemi(STR4-03)“Finishing eleventh, one tenth off P10 shows we have made progress, avery big step forward since the last race. It was a good qualifying for us,even if it is frustrating to finish eleventh because you want Q3. But itmeans we can run whatever fuel load we want for the race and I think wewill be in good shape for tomorrow.”

Jaime Alguersuari(STR4-02)“Finishing qualifying with a failure is never good – I had a problem withthe throttle control system - but we have to be content because I didn’tmake any mistakes so far this weekend. On my first two sets of tyres Idid a good job. As for the race, I am really looking forward to it and I willbe happy if I finish.”

Giorgio Ascanelli: “First of all, the thoughts of everyone at ToroRosso are with Felipe Massa at this time. As for our performance,obviously, the development that was introduced by Red Bull Racing atthe British Grand Prix, has partly been used on our cars here for the firsttime. It is not yet the complete package and it has proved very effective,as can be seen by Sebastien’s performance. I have to congratulateJaime on a good job without doing anything silly. His stop was due to aproblem caused by the introduction of the new hydraulic system, requiredto run the new modifications. We still have a long way to go with this car,but I think we can have a good race. Eleventh on the grid better thantenth? If it’s a choice between an egg today or a chicken tomorrow, Iwould always take the egg!”
