Korean GP: HRT Friday quotes

Narain Karthikeyan - 22nd: "As I didn't run in the first session we had to make the most of the second one to adapt to the circuit. There are very technical areas such as turn 11 and the second sector, so we have to run even more to get to know it better. Tomorrow we will try out a different set-up and I hope that in the third free practice session we'll be able to prepare better to give it our all in qualifying."

Dani Clos: "I'd never raced here and it was an interesting session. The track was very dirty, especially at the beginning, so there wasn't much grip. It was a very demanding practice session because I had to learn the track very quickly to be able to give the maximum amount of feedback to the team. I'm satisfied because we drew positive conclusions and did a good job."

Luis Pérez-Sala, Team Principal: "The important thing in any Friday practice session is to complete the test programme with no incidents. But at this particular circuit the drivers also had to learn the circuit because they'd never raced here. Dani did a good job in the morning y Narain adapted very quickly in the afternoon. Pedro, on his behalf, was also able to test the new rear wing and, although there is a lot of data to analyze, it looks like it's a small improvement. Tomorrow I hope we can confirm this and close the gap a bit."
