He [Marco] did a good job and acclimatised himself well to the unfamiliar surroundings in the very short time that a one-day test provides. Marco looked comfortable straight away with the car and the track and overall it was a good first experience in a Formula One car.
Gil De Ferran
Honda Racing F1 Team Sporting Director

"I couldn't have had more fun today, and it's a shame that it was only a day. It took me a little while to get used to the traction control and the brakes, but once I got to grips with them the times were more and more consistent.

I've said all along that I'm a racer; I'll drive anything with a motor. ... I still have my sights set on the IndyCar Series; there are still some things I need to accomplish. But to have the opportunity to put in some laps in an F1 car is an opportunity that you don't pass up."
Marco Andretti

He's done very well in the IRL, and he's clearly very talented, and we're always interested in young, talented drivers. We will obviously be keeping an eye on his progress, but it's very, very early days.
Nick Fry
Honda Racing F1 Team


"Of course as a father if he wants to pursue F1 then I would be happy for him. But as a team owner, it is not that easy. He is an asset to the team. He is a true championship contender, and he has a high value to the series as well. So I have to think long and hard about it. It will be a difficult decision. I am not sure what Marco wants to do at the moment, but he is definitely more focused on what he is doing now. I am glad he enjoyed it. He made no mistakes and tested some components for the team, so I am very proud. I am glad I came over.”
Michael Andretti
Chairman, Andretti Green Racing
