Belgium Friday quotes: Ferrari

Felipe Massa: "It's hard to make much sense of such a strange day: first it was dry, then wet and then it repeated itself. Luckily, at least we managed to try both types of slick tyre brought here by Pirelli, even if just for a few laps. Along with the engineers we will have to try and interpret the data in the best way possible to make the right choices. In any case, first impressions, from what I can tell, are positive. We have some new parts and I think we will use them for the rest of the weekend, because they have allowed us to improve our performance. Where we are compared to the others, we will only know tomorrow in qualifying. I really like this track a lot: maybe it's lost some of its excitement in some corners, such as Eau Rouge, which is now practically a straight, but it is still great to drive a Formula 1 car on a track like this."

Pat Fry, technical director: "We had a lot on our plate in the form of a packed work schedule evaluating new components. We tried to get through it as efficiently as possible, even though we were up against less than ideal weather conditions. Obviously, if the track had been dry it would have been better, but we still managed to gather a substantial amount of data which we can now work through calmly. But this is Spa, so we were hardly expecting stable weather! Some of the solutions we brought here seem to deliver positive results, while we need to look at others in more detail and that's what we will do between now and tomorrow morning, when we will make our final choices for this race weekend. At the moment, it's difficult to give a verdict on the tyres, because we managed so few laps in the dry."
