Brazilian GP – Mercedes Saturday quotes

Michael Schumacher (8th): “I am somewhat disappointed as the circumstances today were exactly as I had wished them to be. I really hoped for more from qualifying but it didn’t turn out right for us. I couldn’t have gone any quicker on my lap and there were no issues so the only explanation is that my tyres cooled down at the beginning when I had to leave the racing line to let Sebastian and Mark past. It’s a shame that it didn’t work out better today. Congratulations to Nico Hülkenberg who did a fantastic lap.”

Nico Rosberg (13th): “We were on for a good result in qualifying today but on the drying track, the intermediate tyres were only good for one fast lap and I was blocked by Buemi on my lap in Q2. So that was it for me and it’s disappointing to qualify so far down the field when we could have taken advantage of the conditions.”

Ross Brawn: “It was a very exciting qualifying session and although we made the right decisions, it didn’t quite go our way today. Nico was baulked on his crucial lap which meant he missed out Q3. If you look at the sector times, he should easily have made it. With Michael, we didn’t quite get the dry tyres into their working range at the end of Q3. He got caught up with other cars coming through, had to go offline where the track was still damp, and therefore the temperatures weren’t there when he had to push. So it didn’t quite work out as we planned today but there is still a lot to be gained tomorrow. We are in reasonable positions with a ringside seat for the championship race ahead and will be ready to take advantage where we can.”

Norbert Haug: “Q3 started well with Michael being second fastest on the intermediate tyres. After the change to slicks, he got into traffic which lost him tyre temperatures and grip, and that was it. Instead of a possible top five result, he ended up in eighth place after driving excellently in the wet conditions. Nico would have made it into Q3 without hitting traffic in the last sector of his quickest lap and will start in 13th place. Tomorrow should be dry and we will hope to make up places with both our drivers. Congratulations to Nico Hulkenberg and Williams Cosworth on their first joint pole position today.”
