Sam Michael, Technical Director, WilliamsF1:
“This race was disappointing for us with Mark once again falling victim to a mistake by another
driver and Nico finishing just outside the points. Nico’s car was mechanically sound and
Bridgestone supplied a good tyre, so it is clear we need to make significant improvements. We will
bounce back.”
Nico Rosberg (Chassis FW28 04, engine CA2006/022, 1st GP):
“It’s a disappointing result because I had such a good start and was up to eighth place after the
first lap accidents, but the car was a real handful, making it difficult to keep it on the track and
not make any mistakes. Apart from affecting our pace, it made the race really physically
demanding as it was already very hot out there – I gave everything I had, so it’s a real shame not to
earn any points. Looking to the next race at Magny Cours, I am confident because I know the track
well, so I hope we have a better weekend there.”
Mark Webber (Chassis FW28 03, engine CA2006 019, 2nd GP):
“My start was reasonable and I got a slipstream behind Speed but there was someone really slow in
the middle of the track and I was just minding my own business on the brakes turning in and the
next minute I got harpooned by somebody on the right rear. I got launched into the air and I thought I was going to roll. Thankfully I didn’t, but the damage to the car stopped me from
continuing.”
Sean O’Mahony, Principal Engineer – F1 Race Engineering, Cosworth Ltd:
“It was disappointing to see Mark leave the race so early and disappointing not to have achieved a points finish with Nico, despite having attempted to extract the maximum from his engine today.”
