"It's a bit disappointing that I could not put all my three best sectors
together, as otherwise I would be on pole position, now. But I am obviously
happy to start this Grand Prix from the first row, as this gives us the
potential to take some points for the team. I like this track and there are
several spots where overtaking is possible. Ferrari seem to have quite a
bit more downforce, even if today my car was very good to drive, especially
in the second sector. We changed quite a lot on the car from yesterday and
I was very happy with the outcome."

Ralf Schumacher                         Position:  4th
Chassis: FW24 04 (T-Car: FW24 01)
Best Time: 1:36.028
"I could have achieved a better position today, but unluckily I could not
get one very good lap together. It's a pity, as this Saturday had started
very well, but in Qualifying I had a couple of problems with the set-up of
the car. Sepang is especially a circuit where you can very easily waste
tenths here and there. It's a shame that I was pushed down from the third
position just in the last seconds. Nevertheless, tomorrow we should be in a
position to put Ferrari under pressure and gain access to the podium."
