MONACO GRAND PRIX - DAY 1 - English/Italian


2006 MONACO GRAND PRIX - FRIDAY 25/05/06

*Arriving in the town," the opening song from French musical "Starmania" about a tough gang
hitting the streets.

Tonio Liuzzi: "I am happy with what we achieved today. We worked on set up and race preparation and
the car was well balanced throughout both sessions. In the second session we saw our times improve,
even if our V10 does not seem to have delivered the extra help that some people thought it would do at
this track. A good day overall."
(Best lap 1.17.638, pos. 16th)

Scott Speed: "Driving Monaco for the first time in a Formula 1 car was a very intense experience. Very
tough. It's hard to say where we stand but I'd say we were struggling a bit today. I lost a bit of track
time in the first session, so we had to play catch-up a little bit.
(Best lap 1.18.420, pos. 23rd)

Neel Jani: " I was on a completely different programme to the other two, running race simulation which
is why my times looked slow, but I think I still got some useful data to help the team. Looking at my
fuel load and the tyres I was on, I was running a very strong pace, so I'm happy.
