This is what Scott Speed had to say following his incident with Mark Webber:
At the end of the session, for some reason I don't understand, Mark did the most strange thing I have seen since I've been
in Formula 1. I haven't been brake tested like that since my karting days. I'll be interested to see what Mark has to say about that!

Deiter Gass the Toyota Chief Engineer Race and Test had this to say about the Toyota suspension problem:
Obviously that was not a good afternoon for us. We have an issue on the front suspension of Jarno's car which is clearly related to this circuit. We have now identified the front upright as the problem area. We have no changes on the parts here and they have been tested and run throughout the season so far. So we need to look into that and understand what has happened. As a precaution we kept Ralf in the garage. This problem has overshadowed all our running today and we are lacking a lot of the information that we were looking for. This morning went quite well but the circuit was obviously in more representative conditions after it rubbered in this afternoon. Now we need to sit down and change tomorrow's run plan to see how we can make the best out of the weekend.
