Canada Saturday quotes: HRT

"Looking ahead to tomorrow, our rear tyres are wearing very quickly but I guess a lot of cars are having the same problem so we will try our best to keep it under control".

Vitantonio Liuzzi - 21st: "It will be an interesting Sunday. We showed today that we have made a step forward; we're ahead of our closest competitor so we've got an interesting race ahead. The race might be under rain so it could be different to what we expected beforehand but it will make it more exciting and we will have to push hard to get the best out of the car.

"For me the 107% rule is not a problem anymore but, for sure, in this kind of circuit where KERS and DRS make a difference, we weren't that far off it but it's not something that should worry us for the future, we must just focus on beating our rivals. The new exhaust seems to be working well but we still have to get the best out of it. It takes a few races to optimize this, we have to understand the system a little more and make it work better for the future."

Colin Kolles: "I think it has been proven that we have made a step forward, we qualified ahead of the Virgins and the gap with Lotus is smaller than in previous races and it could've been even smaller. Tonio was two tenths quicker than in his fastest lap when he spun on his last lap and I assume he could've been between two and four tenths quicker if he would have finished the lap. All in all it's quite positive, we have to keep pushing and improve the car.

"For tomorrow we don't know the weather conditions, the forecast is rain but this could change. If it rains it will be a crazy grand prix, it could turn out to be a lottery which traditionally favours the smaller teams."
