The Brazilian Grand Prix has provided some excellent racing in both wet
and dry conditions over the last few years. The track at Interlagos is
such a great circuit. It's high downforce, but aerodynamic efficiency is
important for the straights. Our target for the race is very clear; to
qualify both cars in the top ten and to improve our position in the
constructors’ championship.
Rubens Barrichello
This is my favourite race: I love the city, the people and the attitude
of the fans. I just love being there, but it goes by too quickly! The
track has a great layout. In my opinion, the double right hander of
Turns 6 and 7 is one of the best corners in the world. There are places
to overtake around Interlagos, while there’s always a chance of rain to
make things interesting.
Achieving a good set-up and qualifying result is important, but it’s not
always easy to set the car up – you need strong traction and balance.
The Williams tends to suit Brazil, and I have a new engine for this
race, so we shall see. From the messages I’ve been receiving, I know
that the fans want the team to do well this weekend and we’ll be pushing
hard to deliver.
Nico Hülkenberg
I haven’t been to Brazil before, but I’m definitely looking forward to
going there as everyone says how cool it is. Interlagos is another new
circuit for me, and one of the few tracks on the calendar that runs
anti-clockwise. The track itself looks challenging but interesting. I’m
particularly looking forward to driving the Senna S, as well as Turns 6
and 7; the fast, double right hander. After Korea, I can’t wait to get
back into the FW32 and go racing again. We’ll be looking to get more
points at this race.
