Rosberg struggling with suspension problem

The Williams driver has been suffering from the problem all weekend and has been unable to feel comfortable with his car.

That led to Rosberg struggling for pace in qualifying, where he finished down in 18th position.

"I've had a problem with my suspension all weekend which is making the car really hard to drive in the corners because it just jumps around all over the place," said Rosberg.

"We've obviously been trying to find a solution throughout the sessions but, so far, nothing has worked. The race is going to be very tough."

Williams's poor day was completed by Kazuki Nakajima, who had to settle for 15th position after complaining about a lack of grip.

"Obviously it was a very hard qualifying session for us," said Nakajima. "I made it through to Q2, but was struggling with grip, and the difference between our times and those of the other team's is quite significant.

"We need to find something from the car, and from me, and we will need to do a lot of work tonight to make sure we have the best strategy in place for the race."
