Brazil Saturday quotes: Spyker
Adrian Sutil - 21st: "Unfortunately we had a fuel pressure problem on my first run in Qualifying - the engine just cut out and I couldn't go on
"It was the same issue we had in the morning, but then I stopped in the pit lane and my mechanics could push me back to the garage to get started again. In the afternoon I was on track and we couldn't do the same.
"Obviously it is a worry and something we need to sort out for the race, but I think we can get it right tomorrow."
Sakon Yamamoto - 22nd: "Obviously this Qualifying was disappointing. The grip level was lower than I expected and I changed the set-up for Qualifying and the race, but the set-up just didn't seem to work that well over one lap.
"On this point it's a shame, but I think this set-up will work better in the race so I want to push 100% and do my best race so far this season."
Mike Gascoyne, chief technical officer: "A disappointing Qualifying session. Adrian stopped on his first run with a fuel pressure problem, which was unfortunate as I think with the track improvement we could have picked up on a couple of places.
"Sakon struggled with less grip than this morning, but I am sure in the race we can be competitive with the group in front, so we have to look to pick up some places tomorrow."
