On this magnificent circuit, with very high temperatures, as usual, the start, overall reliability and strategy will all be important. We will do all we can to reach our objectives. For a moment however, we can enjoy today s qualifying result on a day that is important for our company, because here today at Sakhir we have signed an agreement for the construction of a Ferrari theme park on the island of Yas in Abu Dhabi. ”
Felipe Massa: “I am very happy to be on pole once again for the second time in a row and of course I am hoping for a very different race result to the one I obtained last Sunday. I did two good laps and I want to thank the team for the fantastic work they have done and for giving me a really competitive car. I hope that tomorrow s race goes the same way as qualifying. The first two races have not gone the way I expected and I really hope that this one will reverse the trend. We have a very competitive car, both over a single lap and over a distance: now we just have to do our best to get the most out of the potential at our disposal. ”
Kimi Raikkonen: “Third place is a good result and puts us in a reasonable position for tomorrow s race. Of course I would rather always be in front of everyone, but I know we still have to improve to get all the performance out of the car over a single lap. Then, I also had a bit of traffic today on both my runs in Q3. Track conditions are better than yesterday and are closer to those we had here in testing a few weeks back. ”
Luca Baldisserri: “This session was very pleasing with Felipe putting in an extraordinary performance all day long. It was a shame that traffic slightly hampered Kimi on his two quick laps in the final part of qualifying, which meant he did not get the most out of his F2007. The cars ran trouble free and proved to have a good balance. I am confident we can get a good result. We know it will be tough because we are up against strong opposition, but we are cautiously optimistic. ”
