ZSOLT BAUMGARTNER: Position: 18th
“I’m very happy with the performance today in front of my home crowd and I hope tomorrow we will have a reliable car so that I can finish the race. That is the main goal for me this weekend, as I wasn’t able to finish here last year. Once again, the team did a great job today because we worked a lot on the car balance and made good progress. I was really happy about that, and I hope we can now have a successful race.”
GIANMARIA BRUNI: Position: 19th
“I’m happy. Everything went well considering the sort of race strategy we have settled on for tomorrow. I was expecting a slower lap time in qualifying than I actually achieved, so now I’m hoping for a good race.”
PAUL STODDART, Team Principal, Minardi Cosworth:
“Despite lining up P18 and P19 for tomorrow’s race, the Minardi team can be pleased with its efforts today, as we have been, on average, 3.5 seconds a lap quicker than we were here last year. As always, we will be aiming for reliability in tomorrow’s race where, weather conditions permitting, there may be a chance to score a point. The Hungarian fans have really adopted Minardi as their own this weekend, and it was truly touching to hear the loudest cheers today when Zsolt crossed the line in qualifying. A point tomorrow would be truly memorable.”
