Sam Michael, Technical Director, WilliamsF1:
“It was a good day for Mark who pushed hard to get into the last ten and will line up on the grid in p5 tomorrow. On the other hand, it
obviously was not a good day for Nico as he didn’t make it past the first cut. He’s shown that he can progress through the field well
from previous races where he started from the back, so it will be interesting to see how he does in the race. Now we will
concentrate on the development of our race strategy for tomorrow.”
Mark Webber (Chassis FW28 03, engine CA2006/020, 1st GP):
“Starting from fifth place on the grid is obviously positive, but I am a little bit concerned about the race because the car has been a bit
tricky on long runs this weekend. However, we must capitalise on this good starting position and we’ll give our all to ensure
everything goes well in the race.”
Nico Rosberg (Chassis FW28 05, engine CA2006/018, 1st GP):
“It was generally difficult for me today because I was experiencing much more grip on my new tyres than I had in the morning and I had to get used to everything very quickly. It was going well until the final sector of my last lap, but then I pushed too hard and
braked too late and lost about six tenths, which put me out of the top 16. The track conditions we are experiencing here are
unexpected so it’s definitely going to be an interesting race. It won’t be easy for me starting from behind, but we will see how it
goes.”
Chris Jilbert, Principal Engineer, F1 Race Engineering, Cosworth:
“Great qualifying result for Mark today, putting him in an excellent position for tomorrow’s race. There were no major issues with
either of the Cosworth engines, and we are hopeful of a rewarding race result on Sunday afternoon.”
