Hungary Friday quotes: HRT

Narain Karthikeyan - 24th: "The Hungaroring is virtually a new track for me because it's been seven years since I raced here, so I would have liked to have done more miles in the dry, but the rain caught us all by surprise. The track is pretty bumpy and quite technical so it's quite tough to get used to, but I think we've done a good job. We're not far off our main rivals and I think that tomorrow we can take them on."

Dani Clos: "Today I was finally able to enjoy a dry session in good conditions. Towards the end of the session we were running very well on used tyres and I feel better every day in the F112. Just like any Friday session the objective was to have a first contact with the circuit and start to improve the set-up. I still need to do more miles to continue progressing but today I took another step."

Luis Pérez-Sala, Team Principal: "We did a good job in the first session with Pedro and Dani, who is more comfortable in the car every time. Both of them completed their work with no issues. With the heat from this morning we couldn't imagine that it would rain in FP2 and we would have liked to have done more laps with Narain since he hadn't run here for a while. But despite this he set good times and at the end the track was in tricky conditions so we didn't risk it. We're being consistent and tomorrow we will try to continue in this line."
