Heikki Kovalainen: "El�gedett vagyok avval, amit kihoztam ma az aut�b�l. (Nico) H�lkenberget k�vettem a felvezet�k�r�m�n, �s nem tudtam �zemi h�m�rs�kletre meleg�teni a gumikat, �gy az els� szektoromban egy kicsit alulkorm�nyzott volt az aut�m, de a m�sik k�t szektor annyira j� volt, amennyire lehetett. Az aut� temp�ja el�g j� a szombatokon eg�sz �vben, �gy a c�l most az, hogy er�s verseny�nk legyen, �s megfelel� helyen legy�nk ahhoz, hogy el�nyt kov�csolhassunk abb�l, ami esetleg el�l t�rt�nik. Nem agg�dom a m�g�ttem l�v�k miatt. A csapat mindent megtesz, amit tud, annak �rdek�ben, hogy fejl�dj�nk, �s szeretn�k megtenni minden t�lem telhet�t, hogy seg�tsem �ket. Az olyan k�r�k, mint a maiak - b�r nem olyan gyorsak, mint amilyennek szerett�k volna �ket - azok, amilyeneket el tudok �rni, nem hib�zom, mindent kihozok az aut�b�l, �s seg�tek a csapatot j� ir�nyba terelni." //

"For me I'm pleased with what I got out of the car today. On my second run I was following Hulkenberg on the out lap and wasn't quite able to get my tyre temperatures up to the optimum level so in the first sector on the quick lap I had a little bit of understeer, but the other two sectors were about as good as they could have been. The car's pace on Sundays has been pretty good all year so the aim now is to have a strong race and be in the right place to take advantage of anything that happens ahead. Really, for me, I'm not worried about the cars behind me. The team is doing everything they can to keep progressing and I want to do whatever I can to help them. Laps like today, while not as quick as we'd like to be, are what I can do - not make mistakes, get everything out of the car and help push the team forwards in the right direction."

Heikki Kovalainen: "Meglehet�sen j�l ment a d�lut�ni edz�s. Mivel d�lel�tt nem �n �ltem az aut�ban, sok mindent kellett d�lut�n elv�gezni, �s v�g�l minden tervet teljes�tett�nk. Az els� etapok sor�n, a kem�ny gumikon kem�nyen kellett dolgoznunk, hogy megtal�ljuk a megfelel� balanszot, de azt�n eszk�z�lt�nk n�h�ny m�dos�t�st, �s onnant�l s�nen voltunk. A l�gy abroncsokon sokkal jobban viselkedett az aut�, egyb�l rendben volt a balansz a gyorsk�r�n, nem volt gond a gumikop�ssal, �s a hossz� etapokon is megtartottuk a balanszot. Ugyancsak el�g j� id�t ment�nk ahhoz, hogy �r keletkezzen k�zt�nk �s a m�g�tt�nk �ll�k k�z�tt, sz�val �sszess�g�ben pozit�v napot z�rtunk." //

"A pretty good session for me today in FP2. Having sat out FP1 we had a lot to get through in the afternoon session and we got through everything we'd planned. On the early runs on the hard tyres we had to work pretty hard to find a decent balance but we made a few changes and started heading in the right direction. On the soft tyres the car felt much better - it immediately felt balanced on the performance run and the degradation levels and balance on the long run were pretty manageable. We also finished with a time that puts some clear air between us and the cars behind, so overall a pretty positive day."

Heikki Kovalainen: "N�h�ny napot Szingap�rban t�lt�ttem a verseny ut�n, majd visszat�rtem Eur�p�ba, n�h�ny napot otthon voltam, majd a szimul�torban dolgozom, miel�tt Jap�nba utazom. Suzuka az egyik olyan verseny, melyet mindenki v�r �s �n sem vagyok ezzel m�sk�ppen. Megfelel� p�lya, pontosan olyan, amelyen Formula-1-es aut�t szeretn�l vezetni, minden van benne - nagy sebess�g� kanyarok, ahol val�ban �rezhet�, hogy a leszor�t�er� m�k�dik, k�zepes sebess�g� r�szek, ahol minden az aut� egyens�ly�r�l sz�l �s itt tal�lhat�ak a vil�g legszenved�lyesebb rajong�i. Sz�momra a p�lya legjobb r�sze az egyes szektor, az els�t�l a hetes kanyarig. Az egyes �s a kettes kanyarba nagy sebess�ggel �rkezel �s ha nem vagy teljesen elsz�nt, sok id�t vesz�thetsz a k�r elej�n. A kettes kanyarb�l ki�rve a p�lya pozit�v ir�nyba d�l �s b�znod kell az aut�ban a h�rmas kanyar fel� menet. Innent�l kezdve a hetes kanyarig, ha az aut� j�l kiegyens�lyozott, akkor az eg�sz r�sz gyorsnak t�nik. Nagyszer� �rz�s, amikor siker�l j�l teljes�teni, de ha valami nem m�k�dik akkor sok id�t vesz�tesz." //

Heikki Kovalainen: "I stayed in Singapore for a couple of days after the race before heading back to Europe to spend a couple of days at home and then do a session in the simulator before going to Japan. Suzuka is one of the races everybody looks forward to and I'm no different. It's a proper track, exactly the sort of circuit you want to drive F1 cars on as it has everything - high speed corners where you can really feel the downforce working, medium speed sections where it's all about car balance and some of the most passionate fans in the world. For me the best bit of the track is in sector one, from T1 to T7. You go into T1 and T2 at high speed and if you're not fully committed you can lose a lot of time right at the start of the lap. Out of T2 the track is positively cambered and you can really lean on the car as you go into T3. From there, right through to T7 if the car is well balanced the whole section seems to flow. It's a great feeling when you get it right, but get it wrong and you lose a lot of time."
