Olivier Panis
Chassis: TF103/03
Best lap time: 1m22.65s, 59 laps completed
Working on: Michelin tyre work
"Our focus today was on tyre testing and we conducted evaluations of the Michelin compounds ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. We started testing aerodynamic items for this race but not too much, not to interfere with the tyre information. Tyre work this week is an all important aspect as everyone knows and I am really happy with today's results."
Cristiano da Matta
Chassis: TF103/07
Best lap time: 1m23.11s, 81 laps completed
Working on: Michelin tyre work
"Just like Olivier, I worked mainly on tyre testing today, and I am equally happy with what Michelin brings us for the upcoming race. Even if we waited for the rain to stop this morning, we made good use of the rest of the day and we will conclude the evaluations tomorrow to set our final choice for the Grand Prix next week."

Best lap time: 1m22.91s, 56 laps completed
