Hungary Friday quotes: McLaren

Pedro de la Rosa - 11th: "We were running early in the morning in the first session to work out a base line for our set-up as there was rain threatening during the afternoon session. We only ran used tyres in the afternoon and have been working on the balance, but we are not satisfied yet and have to improve in tomorrow's free practice."

Ron Dennis: "As there was a possibility of rain in the afternoon session we decided to vary our programme accordingly. The low ambient temperatures and very clean circuit following this week's earlier rain has increased the challenge for both tyre companies.

"All cars suffered significant levels of degradation, but the true picture will not be apparent until the ambient climbs, which we expect to do tomorrow, and the circuit rubbers in. That said our pace this morning was competitive and our work this afternoon constructive."

Norbert Haug: "The morning session was good, however practice in the afternoon was difficult as we haven't found a suitable set-up yet."
