Japan Saturday quotes: Virgin

Lucas di Grassi: "This Saturday was very unusual and I managed only the installation lap in Free Practice 3. We should have a dry Sunday, so we're going to continue the work from yesterday's Free Practice 2 and I am confident that with the new upgrades and a good set-up we can achieve a good result on Sunday."

Timo Glock: "Free Practice 3 was very difficult this morning because there was so much standing water and rivers of rain running across the track. Jaime Alguersuari and I were the only drivers to record timed laps, so we had a little more track time but there wasn't much to learn in those conditions. Tomorrow could be very exciting, so we'll do everything we can to make the most of every opportunity the situation might present."

John Booth, Team Principal: "Obviously today's weather meant there was little we could learn from the circuit. Everyone seemed to be struggling with aquaplaning in the very wet conditions and it was the correct decision to postpone qualifying. Tomorrow will be a hectic day and it is by no means certain that the track will be dry, which may be to our advantage. I'm sure the team and drivers will do a good job in the face of whatever situation they have to deal with."
