Hirohide Hamashima - Director of Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development: "It was an interesting qualifying session today because many teams were worried about the potential for rain tomorrow. We saw very close lap times, especially in the middle of the field.
"The medium compound appears to provide a faster lap time, of on average, 0.2 to 0.5secs. Front tyre graining was not so much of an issue today, but rear tyre degradation was a concern for some teams and drivers. The track has certainly improved from Friday, but we will not see much more improvement tomorrow.
"The two compounds work well and this means there is the scope for a variety of strategies, even from the cars at the front of the field, if it is a dry race. Now we will have to wait and see if we have another wet race like in Japan, as there are reports of a typhoon coming."
