Williams drivers outside top ten in final practice

With the AT&T Williams drivers Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Rosberg tenth and twelfth fastest after Friday practice the team was looking to improve things come Saturday. But Kazuki still has to face a ten grid penalty after having run into the back of Kubica in Australia.

With the completion of the Saturday practice both Williams drivers were outside the top ten. Kazuki was again in front of Nico with the drivers finishing thirteenth and fifteenth respectively. Nico would spend a large part of the session in the pits completing just seven laps.

Late in the session Nico would remain in the pits while other drivers completed practice qualifying runs. The results of the session were inconclusive as several other drivers such as Hamilton, fastest on Friday, were also down the order.
