Italy Friday quotes: McLaren
Fernando Alonso - 1st: "Today went really well. We had a good idea of our performance from the test last week, and although the conditions have changed slightly since then, we were able to get an understanding of the set-up for the race, and I am happy with how the car felt
"I missed a little time in the morning session when the team were fixing a small problem with my steering, but it didn't really make too much difference to our overall results."
Lewis Hamilton - 2nd: "We went through our usual set-up and Bridgestone Potenza tyre comparison work and now have a good understanding of our competitiveness this weekend. The car feels really good to drive round here, and we have already made some good steps forward today. However you never know what everyone else is doing, so we will be looking for further improvements before qualifying tomorrow."
Ron Dennis: "A solid start to the weekend for both drivers. We took our usual conservative approach to both sessions, so the results so far have been encouraging."
Norbert Haug: "A good start to the weekend. We completed our programme as planned following our test here last week. It looks like we have been able to build on the work carried out there. We now need to continue in the same direction tomorrow and on Sunday."
