Comments: "It feels like a better car in general. I felt completely at home and comfortable in the cockpit straight away. It's just a matter of getting used to the buttons" - Nico Rosberg
"We were able to achieve a lot of valuable mileage and it was a positive day. I am pleased with that, and with how the car was behaving, a lot of elements have already proved to be a significant step forward. I felt totally comfortable in the car immediately and noticed how much I had missed driving since November. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and this week gives us a very good idea of where we should concentrate our work." - Michael Schumacher
"We're starting to get an insight into the car's behaviour and its responses to various set-up changes are proving to be very consistent. After a few difficulties at the start of the test, we have finished with a strong day providing plenty of data and options to take forward to the next test in Jerez" - Ross Brawn, Team Chief
