| Williams British GP Race Review |
| Today’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone delivered another points-scoring finish for the AT&T Williams team in front of a home crowd. Nico Rosberg claimed a second successive fifth place finish, his four points promoting the team into the top half of the Constructors’ Championship to fifth place. Despite gaining track position in the first lap and running in fourth up until his first stop, Kazuki Nakajima was unable to convert the competitive pace he’s demonstrated all weekend and dropped down the order to end the race in P11. |
Nico Rosberg:
 "I am very pleased for the whole team, and for myself, that we had another good race. We still didn’t get the result that we are capable of today, but Barrichello was slow in the middle stint and I was stuck behind him and that cost me the place to Massa. If that hadn’t happened, we would have had a solid fourth place. I have to say a big well done to the team because everyone is doing a really great job and we are moving ahead in terms of development. We are consistent on every track so I’m looking forward to the races to come." |
Kazuki Nakajima:  "That
result was not ideal for me. There weren’t any particular reasons for
it. I was pleased with my start and I thought it was going to be a good
race for me, but I was held up by the car in front before my first stop
and then it was difficult to keep up with the cars ahead of me for the
rest of the race."

Sam Michael Technical Director
WilliamsF1: "It
was great for the team to pick up more points today with Nico’s fifth
place and it shows we’re still heading in the right direction with
development. Nico drove well, it was just a shame he was caught up in
traffic for the majority of the race as I think he could have done more.
He showed that he was quick by setting the third fastest lap time in the
race, only behind the two Red Bulls. With his strategy, it was always
going to be difficult for Kazuki to score points, but he is definitely
improving, and he really helped the team with set-up direction this
weekend." |
