Heikki Kovalainen: Az els� k�rt szerintem egy olyan p�ly�n tett�k meg ma reggel, melynek kevesebb tapad�sa volt, mint b�rmelyiknek, amin valaha is vezettem! Mivel egy �j p�ly�n vagyunk, sz�m�tottunk erre, de a p�lya vonalvezet�se m�r el�rte a v�rt sz�nvonalat – ez t�nyleg a versenyz�k p�ly�ja, �s folyamatosan csak fejl�dik �s egyre gyorsabb lesz. D�lel�tt a norm�lis FP1-es programra koncentr�ltunk, �s v�gigment�nk az alapvet� be�ll�t�sokon �s az aerodinamik�val kapcsolatos munk�kon. D�lut�n j�ttek a hossz� etapok �s a gumikat �rint� feladatok. Jav�tanunk kell a tapad�st, de v�g�l is rendben vagyok azzal, ahol v�gezt�nk. //

"The first lap we did in FP1 was on a track that probably had less grip than anywhere else I've ever driven! As we're at a new circuit that was to be expected but the track layout lived up to expectations - it's a proper driver's track and as it keeps evolving it's going to get even faster which will give us a chance to really find out what it's all about. In the morning session we were mainly focussed on the normal P1 program, running through baseline setups and aero work and then in the afternoon we went onto more tyre work and longer runs on both compounds. We need to work on improving the grip levels but I'm ok with where we ended up and with the amount of information we have from both sessions I think we can find more time tomorrow."
