Europe Sunday quotes: Williams
Rubens Barrichello - 12th: We did not have the car underneath us today. I really pushed myself to the limit though and I'm happy with what I delivered. The team have worked hard to bring lots of upgrades to the car so I'm sorry that we didn't do better. I do think that we should be pleased that we beat some better cars today
Pastor Maldonado - 18th: We had a slow start so I lost positions off the line. I then couldn't make the Prime tyre work for me in the first stint so I had to come in early to change them. The early stop forced us onto a three stop strategy. It was too difficult to make it work from where we were in the field though and I couldn't recover. We'll now move on to Silverstone where I will keep fighting to get some points.
Sam Michael, Technical Director: We needed a little more performance to get into the points today. Toro Rosso's two stop and Sauber's one stop strategies allowed them to jump ahead of us. Rubens drove a consistent race, racing hard with the cars around him. We had a poor start on Pastor's car and then unusually low tyre pressures on his first set of Prime tyres, but his pace improved considerably on the next set. We have a lot of work to do between now and Silverstone to allow for the rule changes in respect to the exhaust.
