Fernando Alonso: "We wanted to continue more running today, but the weather made it impossible – it was too cold to run safely. Even so, we have had a very good week: the reliability of the car was very strong, and I think the pace was there. We focused on tyre development and long runs, as we get to know the car. The feeling I have is promising, and I am looking forward to getting back behind the wheel next week in Valencia."
 

Giancarlo Fisichella: "I think this has been a very good week for us. I had a couple of problems yesterday, but nothing unusual for winter testing. Overall, I am very happy after these first weeks of testing with the car. At the wheel, it feels quick and stable, and we made some promising steps forward with Michelin this week on the tyre development. I think we are in good shape at the moment, although it is still too early to have an accurate feeling for the competition."
