My rear tyre stayed good for the whole race. I didn't think Troy would be as good as he was in the second race, but I did every lap like it was a qualifying lap, as hard as I could. It took me a long while to put it together, but I finally got by him.

There was a lot of action out there and it was quite hard to pass. At the end people started to make mistakes and have problems with the tyre, and I did my best lap on the second last lap. I was lucky the two guys came down in front of me but I was certainly homing in on them.

Dani made very good step-by-step progress. He tried a qualifying tyre for the first time and he was very good, we are pleased. He also did a longer session and was consistently fast, so we are happy with this too.

The roads are soft and there is no advantage in running further down the start order. They are not cleaning like we thought they would. I'm driving at a steady pace, which was the plan. The brake pedal felt soft on stage four so I bled the front brakes after the finish and that improved things. I'm not sure about my tyre choice. Maybe I needed cuts like Marcus.

We spent all spring without Andrea Rice and Noelle Tyre because they spent the semester studying abroad, so their personalities and talent back in the lineup will help a lot. We are looking for Sarah Stock to have a big year – she scored some very important goals last season.

It was an interesting start to the 2006 season in Bahrain, which gave us the first opportunity to understand how the new qualifying and tyre change regulations would operate in race weekend conditions, and to gauge our genuine competitiveness compared with the other teams. Of the latter, it was a reassuring race for Team McLaren Mercedes with the performance of the car meeting our expectations.
Martin Whitmarsh
We face the biggest risk here of any circuit we race on. The danger isn't so much hitting the tyre barriers as hitting another car that has already spun. Visibility is already an issue and that adds to the risk. The spray does not clear. The trees hold the moisture. You cannot see a thing in the spray.
David Coulthard
Today, Mark and Nico were both on duty in Barcelona. Both drivers concentrated on long runs, working on set-up, brake and tyre development. Nico will be joined by Alex for tomorrow's final day of the four day test.

I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep / Beyond the village which men still call Tyre.
James Elroy Flecker
We have the perfect bike and the perfect tyre for the job. I hope this is the start of many more victories.
Loris Capirossi
Mark and Nico tested alternative brake materials in the morning and then concentrated on tyre compound tests in the afternoon to give us a direction for the race here in June. We continue testing here tomorrow with Mark and Alex and expect a dry weather forecast.

Tyre wear on the outside edge of a carcase is extremely unusual here normally it's the inside shoulder that bears the bulk of the load down the long straights. We had no problems at illustrates why F1 should remain an open competition between rival companies.
Pierre Dupasquier
Troy went past me but he went too deep...I just kept my line and ended up back in front. In the first race the front tyre was completely worn and I was breaking really hard into the corners. We made some changes for the second race. The team really understands me and the kind of rider I am.
Troy Corser
The day has worked out pretty well. We have to watch a few little things like tyre wear, but we're doing pretty well.
Peter Brock
Despite McLaren's magnificent victory, the team obviously had some kind of tyre issue today.

We wish to let our Australian customers know that this will have no impact on the supply, quality and technical integrity of our farm tyre offer.
Wayne Foster
Despite strong winds which lasted for most of the day, we still managed to continue putting mileage on the engine and gearbox. We also completed some tyre testing, as well as brake and general set-up work.
Sam Michael
The helmet has a slight tyre mark on the back of it, but I didn't lose consciousness and I've hit my head harder just in a normal crash.
