Spain Friday quotes: Williams

Rubens Barrichello - 15th: We completed our Friday programme successfully spending the two sessions evaluating the items the team have brought here. Because of the way we run on Fridays, we don't look competitive, but I feel that we might be a little bit stronger here. I will keep my feet on the ground though. The goal is to get through to Q3 tomorrow

Nico Hulkenberg - 18th: This morning's session was fine and the car felt pretty good. We made some modifications for the second session but my accident halfway through meant we didn't get much running in. I ran wide in the corner and made too much contact with the kerb causing the car to bottom out. It's a shame because it obviously cost us a lot of important practice time. I'm still positive about the weekend though and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Sam Michael, Technical Director: Today we evaluated some new aero parts on Rubens' car and some mechanical parts on both cars. All ran without issue and we will have some more new parts arriving tonight to test tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, Nico went off at Turn 9 this afternoon and we were unable to run his car for the remainder of the session. He's ok and the car suffered minimal damage.
