Canada Friday quotes: Williams
Nico Hulkenberg - 13th: The circuit here is so narrow compared to places like Turkey. It's great and much more exciting to race close to the wall as opposed to 200 metres away. In terms of progress today, we got through the programme but didn't end up with exactly the results we wanted. I am struggling to find balance with the car, but I am confident we will achieve something here
Rubens Barrichello - 12th: We have quite a lot of new development parts for this circuit which has definitely made the car more competitive. I hope that with this progression forward that we can do well here, especially as this our only visit to North America and we have plenty of guests and sponsors supporting us.
Sam Michael, Technical Director: We tested new aero components today and everything worked well, so all of these will all be carried forward for the race for both cars. Unfortunately we had a problem with the hydraulics on Ruben's car, the exact cause of which we have not yet determined. This was quite costly, losing almost half of the second practice session this afternoon and we will be relying on his experience to catch up. In summary, it looks like tyre management will be the key to this weekend.
