11 June: Canadian Grand Prix - Saturday Qualifying Report - Sauber

Weather: sunny and hot.

Drivers
Villeneuve (C24-04)
Massa (C24-06)
Spare car (C24-03)

Team SAUBER PETRONAS drivers Jacques Villeneuve and Felipe Massa will start tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix from eighth and 11th positions respectively after this afternoon's qualifying session.

Jacques Villeneuve: "That was the most satisfying performance of my season so far, and I am very happy. Usually in qualifying you make a little mistake here or there, because you are on the limit - maybe you lock a wheel or miss an apex. But on that lap I didn't make a single mistake and it couldn't have been better.
"We know that qualifying is harder for us than the races, which seem to suit the C24 better, so it will be down to making a strong start tomorrow. The first corner here can be difficult, but if there is any incident hopefully we are sufficiently far up the grid to avoid it. That should be an advantage."

Felipe Massa: "My lap was reasonable for the strategy that we have chosen. There was a bit less grip than this morning, but we know that the car is better in the race so I am pretty confident and overall I'm happy. Tomorrow you'll see that we are even more competitive."

Peter Sauber (Team Principal): "This is a very good result for the team, and a remarkable effort from Jacques. My congratulations to him for such a great performance. I'm particularly happy that he was able to summon it in front of his home crowd and on the track named after his father. Now we have to make sure that we convert this promise into a strong result tomorrow."
