Spain Friday quotes: McLaren

Fernando Alonso - 1st: "A great start to my home Grand Prix with a trouble free Friday practice. We went through the usual programme of tyre evaluation and set-up work, but had a pretty good balance early on. We have definitely improved the car further since Bahrain. I look forward to the rest of the weekend and really want to do my best for all the supporters."

Lewis Hamilton - 5th: "We completed our pre-planned programme focusing on tyres and set-up work. Everything went well. I set my fastest time early in the session and was able to be consistent throughout, so I'm fairly confident for the rest of the weekend."

Ron Dennis: "Since the Bahrain Grand Prix the team has worked really hard on improving the car and there is no doubt that this has paid off, but we have to wait until Sunday to see how effective our developments have been. However we have had the best possible start to the weekend."

Norbert Haug: "A good start for the team at Fernando's home Grand Prix with competitive and consistent times from both drivers. The team's efforts in the build-up to the European season have been positive, but we have to wait and see until qualifying what steps forward we have taken in comparison to our competitors."
