“It’s true that we test here a lot because it’s very demanding for the tyres, and also the aerodynamics. It is a very complete circuit, and tough for the cars. From a driving point of view it’s a good challenge too, and I always enjoy racing in Barcelona.”
-Giancarlo Fisichella
“Barcelona is a very demanding circuit for the car. You need a good chassis balance in the long corners, good aerodynamic grip, and also good mechanical performance – particularly on the exit of the slow corners.”
-Heikki Kovalainen
“I was so bored I wish I had brought my radio with me!”
-Eddie Irvine after the 1999 race
