Silverstone Gp : Alonso & Massa Saturday quotes
* Fernando Alonso: "I want to dedicate this pole position to María de Villota primarily because it is a particularly difficult moment. We all feel a bit of sadness in these days and we are close to her and her family. This pole was a surprise because in these conditions you never know what can happen. This morning on the dry track the car was very good but this could be different on wet, even if the F2012 does never proved wrong, as in Malaysia and the Mugello. This afternoon we had to be in the right place at the right time with the good tires and to succeed, need some luck. For once we have had, as in Q2 where I managed to spend in Q3 narrowly after the break. In the final round I had a car before and the visibility was really limited then there was yellow flags in the last turns but in the end I still could qualify me. The pole today is very important, even though we know that it arrived in special conditions. We have to get on the sec order to say that we have make up the gap on the top. Tomorrow I hope a boring race for a time that I leave before everyone."
* Felipe Massa:
"it is an achievement for the team knowing that when the red flag came , Fernando and I weren't some access in Q3. We have a good job in the resumption of the meeting for the latest rounds of Q2. In Q3 I fight for the pole position but I lost time on the last lap, I blocked the rear wheels, the fifth position is a place that satisfies me. I think I will be competitive tomorrow because the car is appropriate for that track. Since the Canada, the F2012 has progressed well and the results are the reward. I think the cut in Q2 was positive, perhaps even that it helped us because there was a lot of water in track and the water was present and that even in a straight line. Then, the FIA has done an excellent job to set conditions for resumption to give the spectators a show in line with their passion. "For us, the break was long, but for all those who were in the stands that would be worse due to the rain!"
Silverstone Gp : Alonso & Massa Friday quotes
* Fernando Alonso:
"there is little to say this afternoon, let alone less than usual for a Friday. We have made very few laps due to rain and also to the fact that the number of tires rain train is limited by regulation, it makes no sense to leave. It is better instead to preserve the tires since not very encouraging forecasts, it must rain all weekend long. In other circumstances, if the rest of the weekend was dry, we could do more laps , but in these circumstances, as I said, it is really not the case. On a wet track the car appears to be well, but it is virtually impossible to say where we are compared to others. Hope that tomorrow morning we can make a few laps on dry to at least have an idea approximate of the behavior of Soft tires and Hard ones that Pirelli has led here. The output of track to the end? The car was in water and it has eluded me. It damaged the front wing and now we need to see if we can repair. "
* Felipe Massa:
"the weather has made the difficult day, it rained all the time and this has upset our program so we decided to make little laps to preserve the tires for tomorrow and Sunday.
Obviously, we could not test as we wanted, especially regarding the news that we have made for the grand prix. I have three timed laps, it is therefore impossible to say though is on the behaviour of the F2012 on this track. Tomorrow, whatever the conditions, we will try to do more towers to be as well prepared as possible for qualifying and the race. We will try to do what we can. "
