Germany Saturday quotes: Williams
Pastor Maldonado - 13th: It was a difficult session for us. We were looking more competitive than this yesterday, but not enough to be in Q3. We were working more on race pace so we will see tomorrow. I think we have the possibility to score some points if we have the right strategy
Rubens Barrichello - 14th: We knew we might struggle on my car as we weren't able to use KERS here. We didn't have an ideal balance on the car, particularly compared to the morning, and it wasn't possible to get on top of that during the session. We need to analyse that in detail, and look for better pace in the race tomorrow.
Sam Michael, Technical Director: We have improved on our performance from practice yesterday, but not enough to get into the top 10 in qualifying here today. We did run with quite different specifications between the two cars, with Rubens using the new diffuser and front wing and not running KERS, in order to give us more information going forward. On Rubens' car we chose not to race with KERS here in order to get some more data for comparison. Now we'll have a look through all of that data tonight while focussing on the important race decisions.
