QUOTES

Nicola Larini (4 ^th): "I really wanted to start on the front row here, but it was just impossible to beat the diesels on a fast track like Monza . I guess a podium finish is what we should try to go for tomorrow, but even that will be difficult. I'm sorry I couldn't give Rob a tow on the last run, but I ran wide in the chicane and lost the momentum there."

Alain Menu (5^th): "The slipstreaming worked fantastic today, which shows how close we work together as a team. We only tried this for the first time this morning in the free practice session as on other tracks we don't really need this kind of strategy to go fast. Tomorrow we'll try to keep up with the diesels by slipstreaming some more, but I'm not sure how many laps we'll be able to stay with them."

Rob Huff (16^th): "All three of us ran one run at the head of the "train", one run in the middle, and one run at the back to qualify. Unfortunately on my turn Alain got a bit close to Nic so he got out of the "train" to leave me some room to close up to Nic. But then he ran wide at the chicane so I lost my tow and thus my only chance at a proper time. I guess I'll need some luck to score some points this weekend, but as always we'll just go for it and play with the hand I've been dealt."

Eric Nève: "This qualifying session was all about getting all three cars out simultaneously and preferably on a clear stretch of track. The team mastered this to near-perfection and it worked very well for Alain and Nicola, but unfortunately Rob was a bit unlucky on his attempt. Yet I'm sure we'll have another great race tomorrow for our last European round and I'm equally sure our guests will love the show."
