China Saturday quotes: Williams

Nico Hulkenberg - 16th: We had a hard time in the practice sessions and P16 is obviously not what I was hoping for. My last lap wasn't perfect because I made a mistake in the last corner which cost me time. I think it will probably be wet for the race tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it.

Sam Michael, Technical Director: Rubens did well in qualifying and unfortunately just missed out on a slot in the top ten. We had to fit a new engine on his car after this morning's practice so it was a good effort by the mechanics to get him out in time for qualifying. Nico's qualifying wasn't as good as he would have hoped for and he'll be analysing that tonight with his engineers. We tested a stalling rear wing on Rubens' car during the morning practice session, from which we collected some useful data, but it's early R&D at this stage so we have taken the decision not to race it this weekend.
