Spain Saturday quotes: BMW
Robert Kubica - 4th: This was a good qualifying. I am very happy as I managed to do a very quick lap in both Q2 and Q3. I am especially happy about the second qualifying session as I was second fastest thanks to using only one set of tyres. I am looking forward to tomorrow's race, and I think our pace is good
Nick Heidfeld - 9th: I'm certainly not happy with P9. The first outing in top ten qualifying was reasonable, but my final lap was not good enough. It didn't help that I had graining towards the end of the lap. I very much hope I shall have a better start tomorrow than we have seen for the previous races so far this year. For me here Ferrari is as strong as expected, Renault is apparently stronger than expected, although we may guess Fernando Alonso didn't have a lot of fuel on board.
Mario Theissen (BMW motorsport director): Robert managed to do a good lap and got the maximum out of the car. I consider his fourth on the grid very good. Nick did not have a good lap, as we expected him to be a bit nearer the front. Anyway, since the 2006 Brazilian GP in Sao Paulo we have been able to get both our cars into the top ten in qualifying.
