Monaco Saturday quotes: Marussia

Charles Pic - 22nd: "Overall it was not a great qualifying for me. I think our pace here in Monaco is less strong than it was in Barcelona. I also had some traffic in my fast lap, so not a good day. Now we have to focus all we can on tomorrow and what we can do to improve. We know that sometimes in Monaco there are opportunities, so we will have to put ourselves in the best position to be able to take advantage of them."

John Booth, Team Principal: "Unfortunately we find ourselves having experienced mixed fortunes between the two cars in qualifying. The objective going into this race was to improve Timo's balance and continue to see Charles improving his form, but it seems that we've managed to achieve the former, but not helped Charles with the latter. For his car, we need to spend some time understanding the decisions we've made between FP2 and qualifying. As a team we need to get to the point where both drivers perform at their best in qualifying and this will be our goal going forward. For tomorrow they are still placed where we expected and I'm sure both drivers will make good progress and be ready to take advantage of any situations that arise in this typically eventful race."
