Prix.

Ralf Schumacher
Chassis: FW22 06
T-Car Chassis: FW22 04
Best Time: 1:22:509
Best Position: 2nd
"So far I am happy with the car, even if we have still too much oversteer -
especially in the fast corners - but I assume it's because of today's high
temperature. We have to work on the set-up in order to make the rear of the car
a bit more stable."

Jenson Button
Chassis: FW22 05
Best Time: 1:23.119
Best Position: 6th
"It was good to get down to an averagely good time, considering the time I set
in the morning. The car felt much better in the second session and also I was
helped by the improved conditions of the track, which was pretty dusty in the
morning. We have tried many different things on the set-up for tomorrow when we
hope we will get some more good running in."

Patrick Head (Technical Director, WilliamsF1)
"We have been continuing evaluations from last week's test. The tyre choice is
going to be quite difficult and we are trying to put together information to
help us make that decision after tomorrow morning's running. Jenson put himself
up to a much higher position at the end when he did go out on a new set of
tyres. Now we're trying to do our homework for qualifying and for the race."

Gerhard Berger (BMW Motorsport Director)
"It was a good free practice for us today, a typical Friday with regard to the
comparison of the lap times. It's difficult to tell who was running with lots
of fuel and on which tyre. On our side it's important that it was another day
without any problems. This gives us more stability and because of this drivers
and engineers have more time to work on the set-up of the car. A big part of
this job was done anyway last week during the test."
