Abu Dhabi Saturday quotes: Williams

Kazuki Nakajima, 14th: I'm a bit disappointed because I didn't manage to put everything together in Q2, but there was still a reasonable gap to the first ten, so maybe I wouldn't have made it into the final qualifying session anyway. The track demands that you are precise all the time and one mistake here is costly, which makes it pretty difficult. I don't think it will be easy to overtake tomorrow, but because of the nature of sectors 1 and 2, we could have a pretty crazy first lap tomorrow, so I still believe anything is possible.

Rod Nelson, Chief Operations Engineer: It was a reasonably straightforward qualifying session, although we did expect the option tyre to come into its own in Q2, but this didn't materialise, so we along with most other teams stayed on the prime tyre. We hoped that Nico had another couple of tenths in him to get among the BMWs just in front, but he starts from the clean side of the grid and he should have a competitive race. Kazuki was also looking competitive on what would have been his fastest lap at the end of the prime run in qualifying two but he ran a little wide in turn 14, got some dirt on his tyres and that unfortunately, was that.
