Abu Dhabi GP: Ferrari qualifying quotes

Felipe Massa - 8th: "I am pleased with my qualifying and things went better than I'd expected. All weekend, we haven't been competitive enough and after this morning's free practice, I was worried I wouldn't make it to Q3, but then, thanks to a lap where I got the maximum out of the car, combined with the drop in temperature, I managed to make up a few places. Today I did all I could and I think that without a bit of oversteer at the final corner I could have done even better. This track does not suit our car, as you need good traction and the high temperature doesn't help either, but the race is run in the evening and I hope that will allow us to bring home those important points we need right now, even if it's definitely not going to be easy."

Pat Fry: "Right from the start of the weekend, we have struggled to be competitive at this track and the outcome of qualifying reflects the hierarchy through the field that we have seen since the start. Even though we worked a lot on improving the balance of both cars, we continued to suffer from a lack of grip, especially in the third sector where our rivals make the difference. In the first two sectors, we do not have any particular difficulties and we can maintain split times that are not far off those of the best, but in the final sector the gap gets bigger which has badly affected the overall lap time. When the temperature dropped, we managed to make the tyres work better, which meant the car was more reactive, even if it was not enough to allow our drivers to secure better positions. Tomorrow, we will face a very difficult race, in which it will be vital to avoid traffic in the first stint as much as possible and so we are banking on a clean start. We will have to do everything perfectly if we want to help our drivers in their quest to bring home as many points as possible."
