Willy Rampf (Technical director): "Our programme today centred mainly on further tyre testing for Bridgestone, and some aerodynamic work as we continue to establish the baseline for the new C21. We are very pleased with progress so far.
" Nick Heidfeld: "I had a trouble-free day and the car felt fantastic. It is more stable and has more grip than the C20, and everything we did with it today had a positive outcome. I am feeling very optimistic for the season ahead."
Felipe Massa: "I really enjoyed my second run in the C21, which continues to give me good feelings. We did some changes to the aerodynamic balance this afternoon and some differential set-up work, and the car proved really responsive."
