The car was rather well and but for the problem of brakes we would have finished above. One of these days is going to happen.”
Shinji Nakano, #52 Alpine/Mitsuba Honda/Lola/Bridgestone: “Today good day was. There were errors nor no problems. The equipment did a great work today looking for a better adjustment in the car. We battled yesterday enough with the adjustment, but my engineer (Martin I stopped) worked very hard. Starting in penultimate place, but the car felt very well and we obtained a good result. We have much been battling with the completions in the car and have had many mechanical problems. But in the last races the problems have been lessen. The result is good for the equipment and I feel very contented.”
Tom Anderson, Partner and Director of the equipment: “Of the side of #51 with Adrián we had a problem with back caliper of the brake. We made guards but obvious they were not sufficiently high because she bent. It was a problem of design in the factory, so we must check where it was the error, without any guilt for that was working in it. We think that already was than safe more, but obvious was not thus. Unfortunately with this we cleared the opportunity to him to Adrián to obtain a good result, after it had worked very hard along with its engineer Don Halliday to have a good car. This must be neat before Toronto.”
“Of the side of Shinji, it was a great day. Shinji handled very well all the day and its equipment did a great work in its four shutdowns in pits and that demonstrates that Fernandez Racing is an equipment that is raising.”
