Final Qualifying - Saturday 1st November 2003

DAVID DE GEA: 23rd 1'36.604

"Today I improved but not enough. I thought I would have been in the 35.9's but there was some chattering with the bike and a 36.6 was my best. I look forward to the race tomorrow and to a good result for my team."

CHRIS BURNS: DNS ­ Broken Collarbone in Free Practice on Friday

"I got one hours sleep last night with the pain from my collarbone, so today I am walking around here feeling really tired and bored. I am going to see Dr. Costa to see if he can give me some stronger painkillers. What a way to end a Season. All I can do is look forward and hope for better things ahead. I wish Dave all the best for the race tomorrow and hope he can bring home a good result for us."

PETER CLIFFORD ­ (Team Manager)

"David made a good job today and found a second over yesterdays time. Full marks to him and his team for this effort.

I am sure his is looking forward to having a good race on Sunday in front of his home crowd."
