Canada Saturday quotes: Mercedes

Michael Schumacher - 13th: "I am obviously disappointed after today's qualifying. We simply did not have the balance or grip and overall we had a lot of problems with braking and handling. The car was just not performing as we expected. We had similar issues yesterday afternoon and we made some changes after second practice. This morning, the changes seemed to have made sense as our position was reasonable but this afternoon, I was facing similar issues again. It's difficult to understand the reasons at the moment but we will look deeply into it now and find a good strategy for the race tomorrow."

Ross Brawn: "A very disappointing qualifying session for us today, particularly as I was quite encouraged by our performance yesterday and this morning. However when it came to qualifying, we just weren't able to put our laps together. We tried both the prime and option tyres but finding the performance seemed to get away from us. There was very little difference between the tyres and ultimately we struggled to get the best out of them."

Norbert Haug: "Not the best possible result for us today. We certainly didn't extract the maximum out of our cars and didn't use the tyres in the best possible way. But tomorrow we will possibly be in a better position."
