Coulthard - Have to capitalise when car is good and it was very, very good.
Winterbottom - Car was good... we'll give it back to him at another round... Contact smashed front tyre.
Courtney - Crazy old weekend, good pace at all different times... Good qualifying second one this morning... Consistent car looked after it's tyres but at the end there a little bit hairy.
Whincup - Think we're improving to be honest... This weekend pole position but nowhere near where we'd like to be... Could be a lot worse... taking the points. We're not really in the battle, just trying to hang on with the lead guys... We were down in the dumps last year with FPR and turned it all around.
Courtney up into third in the championship.
