Brazilian GP: Force India Saturday quotes

Paul di Resta - 11th: "I was very happy with the car this morning and so we didn't change anything before qualifying. However, the track went away from us during qualifying, probably because of the rain shower, and I didn't feel quite as comfortable as this morning. Q1 was quite straightforward and we looked strong in Q2, but my quickest lap was compromised slightly by traffic with Kobayashi recovering onto the track. I think that made the difference between making the top ten. I tried to do another lap, but I had used the best of the tyres. I think P11 still puts in a reasonable position to do something tomorrow. We have the choice on tyres, but obviously it depends on what the weather does."

Robert Fernley - Deputy Team Principal: "We looked competitive in the lead up to qualifying and knew we had a good chance of getting both cars into Q3. The rain shower shortly before the session added some excitement to Q1 and it turned out to be a fairly frantic 20 minutes. By the time Q2 got underway the track was pretty much dry, but with conditions improving all the time it was important to run a lot of laps and be on track at the end of the session. Paul was a tenth away from making Q3, but Nico was able to match the pace he showed in final practice and made the cut. Seventh place is a fair reflection of our competitiveness and should allow us to end the season on a positive note."
