Nico RosbergThat was a difficult qualifying for us today, and we need to analyse why itturned out like that. Qualifying is always a compromise and I was focused onfinding a good race set-up for tomorrow as we may have more tyre degradationon our car than others, but it is still disappointing not to make Q3 bytwo-tenths.Michael SchumacherIt was quite a tough and difficult day for us. We have to clearly see thatwe did not have the pace to be in the front. I could have done a faster lapprobably, without the dust having been brought to the track by Maldonado,but then I still do not think it would have brought me into Q3. I don'tthink we could have done much more. This morning we practised for long runsas yesterday we could not do that due to the rain but I don't think itcompromised our performance. You have to accept the gap is quite big. Weknow the combination of track layout and temperature does not suit us toomuch, and we will try to make the best out of it tomorrow.Ross Brawn A very disappointing qualifying for us today. The car hasn't been great sofar this weekend, and with the margins being so tight, it didn't help ustoday. We didn't quite get it together with the balance and the tyres, andwith the times being so close, this is where we have ended up on the grid asa consequence. Michael was especially unfortunate not to get a proper cleanlap with his new tyres in Q2. We are working very hard to improve ourposition and will continue to do so.Norbert HaugWe made changes to both cars after P3 which lead us in the right direction.However we certainly have not been sorted out like we should and had to paythe price. In Q2, Nico was two-tenths down to P10, and half a second to P2.
