Britain Friday quotes: Force India

Giancarlo Fisichella - 16th: "It was a normal Friday for us. We've made a small step forward with the new package and over the longer runs there seems to be a more consistent balance, and under braking the car feels more stable. We're getting there, but the other teams have also made some improvements and there is still some work to do. We will have to see what happens tomorrow with the predicted rain."

Adrian Sutil - 19th: "Overall it was not such a bad day. We did some positive work this morning with the damper and it feels quite good. Now we have to decide whether we use it or not for the race, but I feel pretty confident when we do run it. Aero-wise there was an improvement carried over from the test, about two or three tenths, but overall I think I can improve everything a little bit more for tomorrow. I saw the potential today and on different laps I've had sectors that have looked quite good, now we just have to put it all together."

Mike Gascoyne, chief technical officer: "It was a very productive day with no real problems on either car. We were just working through tyre comparisons and set-up options for the weekend. We ran the front inertial damper for the first time on both cars and the performance seemed positive. Overall, the package of improvements we've got here seem to be working well and we appear to be closer to the midfield group. We just have to see what the weather brings for the next two days."
