Jos goes out for his qualifying run
Short after the first qualification session we spoke with Jos. His most important conclusion: the aim to finish the race. "We have defenately made progress, but we are struggling with finding grip, downforce and the right tyres. This morning during the test and free practice we have done quite a lot of work. The reliability is okay and we have done out job without any technical problems. If we take a look at the large group in the middle (places 4 -14 are in 1.36's), you can see that we have closed the gap slightly. It will be difficult to gain a couple of positions though. We will see what happens, we are going as fast as we can and hope to finish."
