2007 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX
SPA: It is often suggested that the word is an acronym of various Latin phrases such as"Salus Per Aquam” or “Sanitas Per Aquam” meaning “health through water”.
Today we found out that actually it stands for:
Sound Performance Attained
Tonio Liuzzi (STR2-03)
“After a nightmare yesterday, with very few laps because of a problem on the car, it went much better today, resulting in me getting through to Q2. I had found it difficult to get the right balance on the car so we were expecting a difficult Saturday. Fortunately, everything went fine, except that I am not feeling that well and have been sick a lot. I think we did a great job in qualifying to get ahead of a Williams which I am sure is a quicker car. We could not have achieved more than this. ”
Third Practice Session:
Best lap 1.48.163, pos. 17th, 21 laps
Qualifying Session:
Best lap 1.47.115, pos. 15th
Sebastian Vettel (STR2-04)
“It’s a shame not to make Q2 by just a few thousandths of a second. My best lap was okay. I lost the rear end a bit going down the back straight and that cost me quite a lot of time. We have improved the car since yesterday and I think we have made a step forward. Now we will have to look at the strategy to see what we can do. Of course the plan is to try and have a good race tomorrow. ”
Third Practice Session:
Best lap 1.47.838, pos. 14th, 19 laps
Qualifying Session: Best lap 1.47.581, pos. 17th
Giorgio Ascanelli: “The final outcome in terms of position is much the same as usual, with the difference that today, none of the big guns had troubles, which is a good sign. So, although the numbers are the same as ever, compared to our best performance, which was Canada, today we delivered a much more solid performance. I think we did some very good work on the car, even if we didn’t put it all together in the end. No regrets, but realistically, no real reason to expect anything much better than usual tomorrow in the race. ”
