The AT&T Williams team reviews qualifying for the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix.
| Williams Chinese GP Qualifying Review: |
| Both Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg were unable to achieve the necessary pace in this afternoon’s qualifying session for the Chinese Grand Prix to progress any further than Q2. Rubens only just missed out on a place in the top ten and will start tomorrow’s race in 11th, while Nico will line up on the eighth row of the grid in P16. |
Rubens Barrichello:  "Qualifying
went ok for us; it was just a shame that we were pipped in the last
minute of Q2. Everything is so close at the moment though and, if you
think about it, that was our best qualifying for getting closer to the
top. It was a great lap and I’m happy with what I did out there this
afternoon."
|
Nico Hulkenberg:  "We
had a hard time in the practice sessions and P16 is obviously not what I
was hoping for. My last lap wasn’t perfect because I made a mistake in
the last corner which cost me time. I think it will probably be wet for
the race tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it."

Sam Michael
Technical Director WilliamsF1 "Rubens
did well in qualifying and unfortunately just missed out on a slot in
the top ten. We had to fit a new engine on his car after this morning’s
practice so it was a good effort by the mechanics to get him out in time
for qualifying. Nico’s qualifying wasn’t as good as he would have hoped
for and he’ll be analysing that tonight with his engineers. We tested a
stalling rear wing on Rubens’ car during the morning practice session,
from which we collected some useful data, but it's early R&D at this
stage so we have taken the decision not to race it this weekend."
