Reactions: Hungarian GP Friday
Practice |
| |
|
Today’s practice sessions at
the Hungaroring ran smoothly for the AT&T Williams team, with drivers
Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima working through a busy preparation
schedule setting up their FW30s for tomorrow’s qualifying session and
Sunday’s 23rd Hungarian Grand Prix. The pair concluded the day in P10
and P14 respectively having banked a comprehensive 110 laps of
Budapest’s 4.381km track. |

Nico Rosberg:

"We
didn’t start the day quite the way we wanted and had to make several
changes throughout the sessions in order to find the best direction for
us. We definitely went the right way with the changes, and have made
some good progress with the car. Tyre-wise, we have yet to make our
decision. It’s not immediately clear which option to go for, but we’ll
analyse that tonight. Once again, the competition is looking quite
strong, especially the Renaults."

Kazuki Nakajima:

"Our
pace wasn’t where we wanted it to be in the morning session, so we made
a few changes in the break between sessions. The changes worked better
for us as we certainly found some more pace in the afternoon. We still
have some work to do this evening to make sure we get the best from the
car tomorrow. I also know that I have to do some work to improve my pace
as well."

Sam Michael
Technical Director WilliamsF1
"A
busy day for the team during which we worked through a number of set-up
changes on both cars throughout the course of practice. The main area
that we have to focus on here is qualifying. It’s almost impossible to
overtake around the Hungaroring, so a good qualifying position is key to
a successful result on Sunday. The drivers and engineers will now spend
tonight working through the set-up to get more performance out of the
car."
