Monaco Saturday quotes: Virgin

Jerome D'Ambrosio - 22nd: "Not a great Qualifying session for me. I think we went a bit backwards compared to this morning and Thursday, so we really need to understand why we didn't continue to make progress. We just need to focus on that and understand and then see how we get on in the race."

John Booth, Team Principal: "First of all, that was a very big crash for Perez today and we wait for positive news regarding his condition. For our team, after a day spent looking through all the data, we applied most of the setup changes that we had done on Friday to both cars this morning. Whilst initially both drivers reported a loss of track grip, both were reasonably happy with the setup of the cars. The red flags interrupted our programme slightly but we still came out of the session reasonably happy. In a place where mechanical setup makes a huge difference, the engineers have done a good job to optimise both cars. Timo's lap in qualifying was perhaps one of the best we have seen from him and it's good to see him enjoying himself around a circuit where the driver can make the most difference. On Jerome's car a small setup change was made before qualifying, going back to a setting that he had run on Thursday and, at the time, he was happier with. Unfortunately this was perhaps not the way to go today, however overall we are pleased with his progress over the weekend so far. Looking ahead to tomorrow, we will be looking for a solid race from both cars. There's been a lot of action on the track so far and we'll be staying sharp to maximise any opportunity that comes our way."
