Bahrain Friday quotes: BMW

Nick Heidfeld - 20th: "Obviously we looked better in the morning session than we did in the afternoon. The difference in the balance with the softer Option tyres compared to the harder Prime tyres is quite big here, which makes it really difficult to set-up the car. I also had a lack of brake stability and the track didn't have much grip, but this is rather normal on a Friday in Bahrain. We will now look into all the data and see what we will do tomorrow

Robert Kubica - 17th: "It was a usual Friday for us. We compared the tyre compounds and worked on the car balance. Additionally we worked on the KERS set-up, which is challenging as the temperatures here are quite high. We will now analyse the data and try to improve for tomorrow.

Willy Rampf - Head of Engineering: We completed our Friday programme without any problems. As usual we concentrated on race preparation, the tyre comparisons and adapting to the KERS. The data will now be analysed. Last year the field was covered by 4.3s, today it was only 1.4s! So we can assume it will be a very close qualifying tomorrow.
