Europe Friday quotes: Williams
Rubens Barrichello - 10th: "We had a pretty much straight forward day during which we tested various things and they seem to work better. It's the first time we've been in the top ten on a Friday; we can't read too much into that, but at least it tells us thatwe can be competitive. The main aim tomorrow is to get into Q3."
Nico Hulkenberg - 17th: "Quite a difficult Friday for me. P2 wasn't really to my liking. I struggled with the balance of the car and I didn't get a good lap on the option tyre. We need to analyse the data now and hopefully hook it all together for a good qualifying tomorrow."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "That was a productive day for us. We ran a new blown rear wing design on both cars at various stages throughout the day and will now check the data to decide what to run tomorrow. We also tested some new aero and mechanical parts, all of which delivered positive results. In the background, we carried out our usual programme of tyre evaluations, cooling checks and brake testing, all of which went smoothly."
