Race 2 Selected Quotes - Imola
Nico Rosberg, ART: "It was a good start and I was able to pull away okay and we had a small engine problem but it wasn't too bad. I think I could have held the distance between me and Carroll but the brakes went and that was it."
Nelson Piquet, Hitech Piquet: "I can't say I am really happy about the result because we still suffered some problems, but at least I have a point so I can take something positive out of what has been a really difficult first weekend. If I had been able to have a better car this weekend I could have been much quicker. I think today I could have overtaken at least two more cars, and maybe even been on the podium. The weekend has been full of problems but we as a team also need to improve on a lot of things because we are not in the rhythm of things at the moment. I'm glad we proved we were quick this weekend and now we will just work really hard to get ready for Barcelona."
Borja Garcia, Racing Engineering: "Really for me the problems started on Friday because I only had two laps, and then yesterday I had all the problems with the brakes, so it was pretty tough - even today with the new brakes it was a bit of a problem, because they were so different."
Alfonso de Orleans Borbon, Racing Engineering Principal: "The race today was a bit of a disappointment because Neel was a constant third of fourth place but the puncture put him way back, and that was that for us really."
Matt Jones, Arden International Principal: "Heikki did a good job today, and Nicolas was good too to get the fastest lap. I said before the race we need fastest lap and another trophy for the cabinet in the truck - Heikki said I'll get the trophy and Nicolas said I'll get the fastest lap, and they did! It's a great result - we're leading both Championships, and that's all you can ask for."
