Belgium Friday quotes: Honda

"We did expect this to be honest; the test here in July indicated that there was work to be done. We will now have to look at the data and see where we can bring improvements to the car ahead of tomorrow."

Rubens Barrichello - 15th: "I spent both sessions analysing the tyre options, rear wings and running through the usual Friday set-up programme. I got the job done in terms of running through all the items but we are not quick enough and I'm still having problems in some of the corners. We have a lot of work to do before qualifying."

Jacky Eeckelaert - Engineering Director: "Both test sessions ran faultlessly and we achieved our planned program. On this track, where aerodynamic efficiency is very important, we expect to have a more difficult challenge than in Monza.

"We prepared for the race with heavy fuel in the second session, using both prime and option tyres. Our pace is consistent but not fast enough. We now have to analyse all the data from today to come up with the best possible compromise for tomorrow."
