Sam Michael, Technical Director, WilliamsF1:
“It’s a bit disappointing not to have the cars further up the grid because we have been competitive
here testing and in practice. Nico got the best out of the car in qualifying, but unusually for Mark,
he didn’t make it through Q1. The car looks consistent on long runs, so we’ll be looking to try and
capitalise on strategy tomorrow and pick up some points.”
Nico Rosberg (Chassis FW28 05 engine CA2006/025, 1st GP):
“I was pretty happy with the car, it felt good and I thought I could achieve a good grid position,
maybe as high as 7th or 8th. I went into Q2 and normally the oversteer goes away as you go further
into qualifying and we usually get stronger and stronger, but today the car went the other way. As
the track changed during the session, I found myself lacking rear grip. However, we have good tyres
for the race tomorrow and I am confident we can get a positive result.”
Mark Webber (Chassis FW28 03, engine CA2006/012, 2nd GP):
“It was a tough session for me today – I’ve never had too much of a problem with qualifying in the
past, but today I couldn’t find the car for some reason. I was struggling for pace and couldn’t get
close to Nico, even though I had saved new tyres for qualifying so it was a surprise - not quick
enough, it’s as simple as that!”
Mike Janes, Team Leader, F1 Track Support, Cosworth:
“There were no issues to report from an engine perspective from today’s running. Satisfied
operationally in terms of engine performance, practice today comprised of final checks in readiness
for Sunday. Unfortunately, the outcome of qualifying was not as expected but we look forward to
being able to make the extra engine duty available for this event to count towards a good finish
tomorrow in the race.”
