BRITISH GRAND PRIX - DAY 2 - English/Italian

2006 BRITISH GRAND PRIX - SATURDAY 10/06/06

Even with 2 centimetre long studs on his boots, Tonio managed to qualify well in 13th spot..

Tonio Liuzzi: "This was a good qualifying session for me, but I did have some problems in terms of my speed and I think I lost a couple of tenths in every section, so thirteenth isn't bad. The car has improved well over the two days. Now we just have to see why I was losing speed down the straights." (Best lap 1.21.699, pos.13th)

Scott Speed: "Of course, I have to be happy with making it through to the second part of qualifying for the first time since Bahrain, although funnily enough, I have started from higher up the grid, when other cars have been put at the back. In terms of car performance, I have a few problems with the rear end and I think I am going to have to fight to tame this beast in tomorrow's race." (Best lap 1.22.076, pos. 15th)
