Gearbox problems for Nick

Robert Kubica (P14): "My day was slightly better than Nick's as I had fewer problems. However, we have to work very hard on the set up and the balance of the car as we are a bit disappointed about how the car behaves. At least in the second session I had a good top speed, which we were missing in the first practice."

Nick Heidfeld (P15): "Of course I'm disappointed because I was not able to do a lot of driving today. In both the sessions I had an hydraulic leak which meant a gearbox change. The mechanics did a great job, but the track conditions were also changing and, therefore, making any sensible comparisons impossible."

Willy Rampf, Technical Director: "Today we concentrated on the race set-up. But we had to do our programme with only one car because Nick's gearbox had to be changed twice due to hydraulic problems. Because of this the mechanics had a lot of work to do, and in both sessions they had a race against the clock to get the car out again. Now we have to check the data and to get the best set-up possible because we have not been able to achieve this yet."
