WTCC Monza - Qualifying : They said...

Rob HUFF – pole position: “In Q1 I struggled to make the top ten because of a few complications in the first laps. In Q2 Yvan gave me the tow, then he sled a little bit at the Parabolica, but he did not damage my lap. It has been a great result for the team to claim a 1-2-3 today. Pole position is the better place to start from and I hope I will manage to convert it to another win.”

Yvan MULLER – 2nd fastest: “I am disappointed, because I did a mistake on my first lap. I did not leave enough gap between Alain and myself and this may have cost me that tenth of a second from Huff that gave him the pole. But it was my fault.”

Alain MENU – 3rd fastest: “I did not even realized I had set the third fastest lap by the end of the session. My goal for the races is to score some good points, so let’s wait and see what tomorrow brings.”

Norbert MICHELISZ – 4th fastest, best of Yokohama Trophy: “I am delighted. It is the second event for me in the BMW car and to achieve such a good result is fantastic. I could have gone a little bit faster, however I don’t think it was possible to beat any of the three Chevrolet guys.”
