Belgian GP - Williams Saturday quotes

Saturday 28th August 2010, 16:50  

Rubens Barrichello (7th): Today was a good effort by everyone in the team. We were struggling a bit with set-up this morning, but the team came up with some great ideas after practice to get the car into better shape for qualifying and they paid off. I'm delighted to be up in seventh place. I'm having a great weekend celebrating my 300th race with my family and the team and I will be pushing hard tomorrow to get a good result.

Nico Hulkenberg (9th): It was not a bad outcome today for the team with two cars in the top 10. I am happy enough with my position, especially considering that my last run in Q3 to claim my grid slot was on a used set of options that clearly were past their best. Just like the session today, I expect the weather to be pretty mixed tomorrow and to be honest, I am relaxed about that - with the variability in conditions, it is important to take it as it comes, the only sure thing is to aim for a good points finish tomorrow.

Sam Michael, technical director: To get both cars in the top 10 today was a good effort by the team. The rain could have proved troublesome, but the drivers and engineers managed the weather well throughout the entire session. We'll now move our focus onto strategy for the race tomorrow. It looks like conditions could be changeable yet again, which will certainly make it an interesting afternoon.
