| Williams Italian GP Qualifying Review: |
| Despite an intensive work programme to improve aerodynamic performance in low drag configuration over the past fortnight, the AT&T Williams team was unable to find sufficient performance gain to avert an uncompetitive qualifying performance for the Italian Grand Prix today. With aero performance key, and six cars benefitting from tactically important KERS systems on the high speed Monza circuit, maintaining the team’s unbroken run of eight points scores will be a significant challenge but one that will be tackled with resolve in tomorrow’s race. |
Nico Rosberg:  "I
started to find a bit more competitiveness during qualifying today and
we made all the right decisions such as choosing the soft tyre, but I
didn’t manage to put the ideal lap together as the car has not been at
its best all weekend. Although we had a tough time with the car last
race and we will struggle a lot here this weekend, I am convinced things
will improve for Singapore and we will be back where we were in
Valencia."
|
Kazuki Nakajima:  "It
was a tough qualifying session for us – we knew it would be, but that
doesn’t change the disappointment. The gap to making it into Q2 was very
small and perhaps without hitting traffic on my last lap, something more
might have been possible to give me a better start position for the
race."

Patrick Head, Director of
Engineering: "I
started to find a bit more competitiveness during qualifying today and
we made all the right decisions such as choosing the soft tyre, but I
didn’t manage to put the ideal lap together as the car has not been at
its best all weekend. Although we had a tough time with the car last
race and we will struggle a lot here this weekend, I am convinced things
will improve for Singapore and we will be back where we were in
Valencia."
