A tough qualifying session saw bot Renault Drivers finish 7th and 8th in today's qualifying session. Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest lap followed closely by Michael Schumacher and Montoya. Trulli finished 7th just in front of his teammate.

Trulli thought lots of work was missing in order to find the extra speed:

"I had a clean lap this afternoon. We worked throughout the morning on finding a good set-up, and the right solutions for the tyres. We both changed our set-ups before qualifying, and the result wasn't too bad. However, we are not looking particularly strong at the moment, and we have a lot of work to do tonight and tomorrow morning in order to investigate, and try to solve, the problems."

His teammate Alonso was also lacking speed against the front-runners:

"From my point if view, the balance of the car was the best it has been all day. We had a good morning, and managed to complete the programme
without any problems, learning about the tyres and set-ups. My lap was good, with the car well-balanced and I didn't make any mistakes. I am quite pleased, but we are still a long way from our competitors, and we need to work tonight to try and find some solutions."
