France Sunday quotes: Williams
Kazuki Nakajima - 15h: "It was a difficult race for us. We decided to go for a two-stop strategy, which was the best direction to take under the circumstances. All weekend we've been suffering with a lack of pace and that hurt us during the race. We couldn't have done much better today."
Nico Rosberg - 16th: "In Canada, I was fighting the Ferraris and the BMWs, and here I was fighting at the back of the pack. It's incredible, and not a very nice feeling. I thought I would be able to fight a bit more; I was giving it my all as usual, but the car simply didn't have the speed and it was very difficult. I am now looking to score some points at Silverstone - at least I won't have a grid penalty there!"
Patrick Head, Director of Engineering: "Obviously that was a very mediocre performance. From here, we must go away and try to understand our mistakes and put them right to come out fighting at Silverstone because I am sure that we can do better than we managed today."
