Germany Saturday quotes: Williams
Rubens Barrichello - 8th: It was a good day all told. In Q2, I set my best time and it was a fantastic lap, and in Q3 for some reason I developed a bit of understeer and lost some balance. So it was a bit of a shame not to be able to repeat the performance as I thought we were capable of P7. That said, we have to be happy with two cars in the top ten and it gives us confidence for good points tomorrow
Nico Hulkenberg - 10th: It was positive to get both cars into the top ten; I think there was a bit more there time-wise at around about Rubens' pace, but I didn't have the greatest run right at the end of Q3. All that said, we have a good platform for a strong race tomorrow.
Sam Michael, Technical Director: Today was another good qualifying performance by the team and it is great to have both cars in the top 10. We believed we could get up to 7th, but we just missed a bit of time in the last sector relative to Q2. Looking to tomorrow's race, our target is to put away more points with both cars. The weather here this weekend has made things interesting so far, but it's still clear on the tyres and other items.
