| Williams Hungarian GP Qualifying Review: |
| Pending of the publication of fuel loads, the AT&T Williams team was pleased with a good qualifying session that positions Nico Rosberg in a competitive fifth position for tomorrow’s race start on a twisty circuit where overtaking is traditionally limited. Despite finishing the second ‘low fuel’ session in third and thereby making his third appearance in Q3 this year, team-mate Kazuki Nakajima was not able to maintain such strong form into the final top ten shoot-out. He will nevertheless be a strong contender for points, starting Sunday’s race in ninth place. |
Nico Rosberg:  "From
my point of view, fifth place was okay today and gives us a really good
chance for tomorrow. Overall, we have been looking good here and my
target remains a podium. Obviously we need to see where everyone else is
with fuel and we need a good start and race strategy, but I believe we
have some real promise. Given all of this, I am looking forward to the
race. Most importantly though, I hope that Felipe is alright."

Kazuki Nakajima:  "Initially
qualifying went well, certainly up until Q2. I was pleased to make it
through into the final ten again, but perhaps I didn’t make the most out
of the final session. I struggled with tyre warm-up and couldn’t find
the lap time. It may make it a bit difficult tomorrow starting from P9,
but let’s see what we can achieve."

Technical Director WilliamsF1: "First
and foremost, we all hope that Felipe Massa is okay after his incident.
We had a good practice and qualifying session and the car has been quick
around here all weekend. Our target now is to race for some good points
with both cars, although starts will be tricky with the KERS cars around
us, but that’s what we will have to deal with."
