What they said...
source: paddocktalk.com Paul Tracy #3 Indeck Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone: "It was a good run. I'm very happy for the team. It's our first 1, 2 this year. Really, the first qualifying set of tires, I got a good first lap. You know, I thought that there was a little bit more and was able to improve on it all the way around the track. Then came in at the end of that first run. I told my engineer, Eric (Zeto), I said, "That was a really good lap. I pretty much got everything just about right without really any small mistakes." Made a small adjustment on the shocks, went back out. We were close, but, again, there was traffic, as well. You know, then the red came out. I had a good lap going and the red came out at the end. We were happy to see that." Mario Dominguez #7 Indeck Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone: "Well, first of all, I'm really happy to be part of the 1, 2 qualifying effort today for Forsythe Racing and Paul is on the pole. The qualifying was not as good as you'd think. You know, I'm in second position, but I was struggling a lot with the car in some corners, then I got a little traffic at the end. I put in my best lap time with the first set of tires. But that's the usual thing with these kind of tracks, you get a lot of traffic because the tracks are so small, a bit narrow, so it's hard to pass. But quite happy with being in second. It's my best qualifying of the year so far, so I'm very happy with that." Sebastien Bourdais #1 McDonald's Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone: "Well, it was very good to restart the weekend the way we finished it last year. Obviously, things didn't go the same way for the qualifying session. The McDonald's car was really good this morning. We did I think 60.3 I think with 25 laps on the Bridgestone tires. Just couldn't even match it with the two new sets we put. The second set during the qualifying was ruined by traffic. We just couldn't put a lap together. It was quite light in the session. But, you know, first run was just all I got. I was just really surprised. The team was kind of disappointed. Definitely can see the grip is not there any more. We'll just investigate if the dampers broke or something, try and do better tomorrow, if the weather is letting us do it."
