Friday: Williams also earns her spot in the top 8

With the Brawn GP and Toyota teams, Williams is also positioning itself favorably for Saturday in qualifications and Sunday in the race. The Japanese driver Kazuki Nakajima had a lot of trouble getting used to the circuit in the morning, mainly due to a tire problem. He recovered in the afternoon.

His teammate, Nico Rosberg, is on top in both sessions. This afternoon, he was close to taking the first place from Button. In short, a consistently good level of competitiveness for the German driver.

Nico Rosberg – 7th and 2nd:

« It was an interesting day for us. We learned a lot, especially about the tires and how to optimize them. The only important thing for us right now is to maintain this consistency. We are now focused on Sunday’s race. It seems that we have learned from our mistakes last year. »

Kazuki Nakajima – 19th and 7th:

« It was a bit difficult for me today. The tires behaved strangely this morning, but they improved in the afternoon. I also struggled to find a good balance. I now need to position myself so I can improve in qualifying tomorrow. We’ll see how the situation develops. »
