威廉斯、布朗和豐田車隊在季前測試看起來都很快，但是沒人確定可以在墨爾本重現一樣的情形。在週五我們得到答案了，領先車隊和競爭對手在Albert Park的表現反映出之前的研發進展的差異。

Mark Webber, P1 - 1:29.081, 17th; P2 - 1:26.370, 4th
"It's great to be back in Australia. I'm proud of the Australian GP; they put on an excellent show here for everyone and it's good for the local people. They've had a tough few months recently with the fires, so I hope they enjoy the weekend. My day today was a bit hit and miss to be honest, as we had a few technical problems with the car.
"回到澳洲的感覺很好。我對澳洲GP很自豪，他們為大家獻上很棒的表演，對當地人來說也很棒，他們已經熬了好幾個月，我希望他們可以好好享受比賽。今天必須承認不是很順利，我們遇到一些車子的技術問題。"
"I didn't get many laps in during the first session, but the second was a lot better. We completed more laps and tried both types of tyres, so we've got some good stuff to go through tonight. It was quite interesting to see how low the sun was through the trees towards the end of the second session, it was good to run with that to get used to it for Sunday."
"在第一段練習我沒有跑很多圈，但是第二次練習情況就更好了。我們完成更多圈並且試了各種配方的輪胎，我們得到很多數據可以在今晚好好研究。在第二段練習時看著太陽落下很有趣，在這樣的情況下可以讓我習慣以助於星期天的比賽"。
Sebastian Vettel, P1 - 1:32.784, 20th; P2 - 1:26.740, 8th
"We had a bad session in this morning's practice and didn't get too much running, due to a hydraulics problem. In the afternoon we were able to get some laps in, but unfortunately I made a stupid mistake towards the end of the practice, so we couldn't run through our programme.
"今天早上的練習很糟，因為液壓問題沒有跑很多圈。下午我們能跑個幾圈，但是不幸的是在練習結束前我犯了個愚蠢的錯誤，所以我們我們沒有完成我們的計畫。"
"Nevertheless, it's looking alright with what we've done compared to the time we had on the circuit, so let's see how we go tomorrow. Like always on Fridays, it's a bit difficult to interpret everyone's lap times, but I think we can be happy."
"然而相對於我們在賽道上的時間，我們看起來還是做的不錯，所以讓我們看看明天的表現如何。就像以往在禮拜五一樣，很難解讀每個人的圈速時間，但是我想我們可以樂觀的看"。
Christian Horner, team Principal
"After the off-track activities of the last couple of days, it was good to get the weekend under way. There were a couple of issues in the first session - a hydraulics leak with Sebastian and a driveshaft problem with Mark limited our run-time.
"在賽道外的活動兩天後，很高興可以讓比賽週末的事順利進行。在第一段練習有兩個消息，Sebastian的車子有液壓滲漏的問題和Mark的車子有傳動軸的問題，這兩個問題影響了我們的測試時間"。
"In the second session both drivers showed good pace and we worked through our programme. Unfortunately Sebastian had a small off, which ended his day early, but both drivers seem comfortable in the car and their pace was respectable."
"在第二段練習兩位車手都有很大進步，而且我們完成了我們的計劃表。不幸的是Sebastian的小失誤結束了他的一天。但是兩位車手看來在車上發揮的不錯，進步也很可觀"。
Force India
Adrian Sutil, P1 - 1:27.993, 9th; P2 - 1:27.040, 9th
“I hope this is representative of where we are, but it is still very early on in the weekend. We had a good session in the afternoon and could do some quite promising runs. I was pleased with the car, we had no real problems. The balance depended on the tyres. In the second session we did some race runs and struggled a lot with the softer tyre, but I think once the track rubbers in the tyres will grip better, but overall it was OK and a good position in the end. I think we can be happy with where we are right now.
"我希望這名次代表我們真正的位置，但是現在還很早。在下午練習時間我們表現不錯，可以做出不錯的成績。對這部車我感到很榮幸，我們沒有遇到實質的問題，車 子的平衡取決於輪胎。在第二段練習我們做一些比賽測試和在軟胎上遇到一些困難，但是我想等橡膠附上跑道抓地力就會好轉，總之一切OK而且成績看來也不錯，我想我們可以對現在的位置感到開心"。
Giancarlo Fisichella, P1 - 1:28.603, 14th; P2 - 1:27.282, 13th
“It's a bit too early to say how we can perform this weekend. The car is better under high speed but so far I am struggling with the rear locking and I'm not 100 percent comfortable just yet. We're in better shape than last year for sure though. We will see tomorrow but at least we know there is potential to improve over night.”
"現在說我們可以達到什麼成績還太早。車子在高速下表現比之前好，但是到目前為止我被後輪鎖死困擾著，而且我沒辦法完全發揮。總之現在我們比去年好，我們會等著明天到來，但是現在還有很多車子的潛力要開發出來"。
Simon Roberts, chief operating officer
“It's been a promising start to the weekend today. I've been really pleased with the team and the overall performance. We managed to get everything we needed to completed and, apart from a couple of niggles in the first session - really just early season teething problems - it was a good team showing.”
"由今天看來這個周末是大有可為，我對於車隊感到榮幸。我們設法完成我們所要達到的，有一部分來自第一次練習的瑣碎小事，就是一些初期開發的困難，這就是一支好隊伍所要表現的"。
