Augusto FARFUS -- AutoDelta Squadra Corse, pole position "I'm very
happy with my first pole position in the ETCC. This will help me to forget
the disappointment for the penalty concerning the Monza races. Today we
have been strong from the very beginning. I've managed to post a very good
lap time, and I'm really happy! However, I expect the races to be very
tough. We will have to push from the beginning to the end, and I hope that
it will pay off, and we can finish on the podium. We look strong now, but
you never know how things will go in the races."

Gabriele TARQUINI -- AutoDelta Squadra Corse, 2nd "All three Alfa cars
have been incredibly strong in this qualifying session, and Augusto
(Farfus) was really impressive. He keeps on saying is learning, but it
seems as he has already learnt everything. I'm very happy with my
performance. It has been difficult to improve last year's car, which was
quite competitive, however this year's version is even better! There is a
big gap between the Alfas and the rest of the world, but it will probably
be a lot closer in race conditions tomorrow. The new tyres are just perfect
for the one or two qualifying laps. Having said that, though, the car is
very good for endurance as well. So I'm quite optimistic for the
race."
