. (Frederic Ferret - L'Equipe): The Red Bulls seem quickest in qualifying, so for the two Red Bull drivers can you explain why it is so fast and do you think you will have the pole on Saturday? For the three others, do you think you can beat them and do you have a special thing to beat them on Saturday?

MW: Well, obviously Seb has had a good run in qualifying. He has had a few pole positions and I have had some poles as well. As you say the car is pretty quick on Saturday afternoon. We have adjustable front ride height suspension which has been running since the start of the year and that works well and then we put the car back up for Sunday. Lots of things have been good for us and we try to do the same job on Saturday.

SV: As Mark said we have this big lever for the ride height. I think that is the secret for Saturday.

Q. (MC) The other three, do you feel you can beat the Red Bulls, either to pole position or the race itself?

LH: I think it's possible, anything's possible, and I think you can tell that us, as a team, and the Ferraris as well, are pushing very hard because I don't think the gap is that big, so it's not impossible. We've outqualified them... what was it, one race maybe? So they've had more than a few pole positions but no, I think we can close the gap, hopefully.

JB: Yeah, they have had the advantage this season in qualifying. If you look at the last few races we have got closer. That's an area where we struggled a little bit at the start of the year but over the last few races we've been a lot closer, which is good. I know everyone's bringing new packages to the circuit but I've got to say a big thanks to the guys for bringing the parts that we have here which should hopefully make a difference but we have to wait and see if that is correct.

FA: I prefer to beat them on Sunday.
