Canada Friday quotes: Ferrari

Felipe Massa - 3rd: "It was a good day, maybe the best Friday since the start of the season. The car seems competitive and the balance wasn't bad for a first day of practice. Obviously, it's only Friday so it is difficult to have a clear picture of the situation, partly because we don't know if our competitors are trying different things, but I am reasonably pleased. Unfortunately, because of the red flags, I wasn't able to use the Supersofts the way I would have liked, so I concentrated on the long run with the appropriate fuel load on board. The fact we can use the moveable rear wing at two points on the track definitely helps for overtaking. The tyres are working well and the degradation is not excessive, so I don't think we will see that many pit stops during the race. However, we have to take into account there is a very high threat of rain for Sunday, so we could end up having a wet race."

Pat Fry: "These days there are few moments to catch your breath during Friday's two free practice sessions because you are always trying to reconcile the car's development programme with the normal tasks of a race weekend, which include finding the best set-up on the car and comparing the two types of tyre available. Here, we also had the new Medium compound from Pirelli to test for the forthcoming European Grand Prix and, on top of that, the many red flags significantly slowed down the planned programme, for us and I imagine for everyone else as well. Therefore, it is harder than ever to interpret the results, especially as practically no one managed to get the most out of the Supersofts. From the little we can understand, our car seems reasonably competitive at this track. Rain is forecast for Sunday: it's a further unknown to keep in mind when it comes to making the final decision as to set-up."
