Spanish Grand Prix - Free Practice

Mika Salo - Car No. 24

Position:	18th 1m22.082s 28 laps completed
Chassis:	TF102/04

"I lost nearly the whole first session due to a power steering problem. We then had an oil leak towards the end of the second session. The guys changed the whole rear end in ten minutes which was unbelievable. I have never seen that done before. We now have a pretty good idea what to do for qualifying so I am not too worried about our positions today."

Allan McNish - Car No. 25

Position:	21st 1m22.564s 37 laps completed
Chassis:	TF102/05

"It was obviously a difficult day. Quite a lot of our pre-season testing was done here and historically we know that we are not as good at this circuit as at others. We have made some improvements and will work on making the car easier to drive. Qualifying is not going to be so good so we have to look more towards the race."

Gustav Brunner - Chief Designer
"We didn't have such a good day. We have tested here a lot recently but with all the other cars improving so much it was quite a difficult job to get the two cars running half decently. A couple of small things needed changing to Mika's car but we had no major technical problems and I am sure we will improve a bit by tomorrow."
