Derrick Walker – Team Australia Co-Owner
“There are two reasons why I think we didn’t get the pole today, ” said Walker.
“One was because traffic was a factor and the other was multiple car changes. We are still up the front end with P2 and the guys have got lots of ideas for tomorrow.
“With Simon the situation is similar in so much that the changes made to his car didn’t get the result we wanted, so his car has lost some balance.
“I’m sure it will be pretty straight forward process us to improve the car for Simon and we’ll get him running up front again. ”
Craig Gore – Team Australia Co-Owner
“Another great performance by Will and the team today, ” said Gore.
“It’s great to see the team continue its good form from one track to the next. Will and the Aussie Vineyards crew will work hard at improving the car overnight to see if they can jump ahead of Sebastien and go one better for tomorrow.
“Simon was again fast today, but didn’t quite have the car in qualifying to match his second place in practice. ”
