France Sunday quotes: Williams

"This doesn't affect our position in the constructors' championship, but we need to start scoring consistently, particularly because we're now half way through the season."

Alex Wurz - 14th: "Obviously 14th is not where I want to be, it's not satisfying at all. Nevertheless, both cars made it to the finish without any issues which proves our reliability is good. The only problem I had was traffic. I was stuck in the train behind Coulthard and neither our strategy, nor our pace, allowed us to get pass him.

"Overtaking here is not easy - I made one manoeuvre, but needed more. It's a new game next weekend, and hopefully we'll have better luck at Silverstone. As it's the team's home race, a good result would be great for the guys at the factory."

Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It was a shame not to get more from the French Grand Prix. The times were so close and, ultimately, we weren't quick enough. Unfortunately, Nico missed out on scoring a point because he was a tenth or so slower than Button.

"From Alex's position, it was pretty hard to do anything. There were no problems on the car; we just need to work on our pace."
