Spain Saturday quotes: Williams

"Strategy-wise, 11th is better than 10th, but of course it isn't where we want to be. It will be a long race, but hopefully I will have a good start and, from my grid position, it's still possible to get some points."

Alex Wurz - 18th: "It was a bit of disaster, worse than a traffic jam on the M25 in London. People really slowed down on their in-laps and seemed to forget that other people were still around them doing quick laps.

"At the last chicane I actually nearly stopped because five cars were in front of me going so slowly which caused my tyre pressures to drop dramatically. I should have been able to get into Q2 today so, to end up in p18, is extremely frustrating. Barcelona is always hard to pass on, so it's going to be a difficult race for me."

Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It's disappointing not to have at least one of the cars in the top ten, but that's where we are at the moment. It will obviously be pretty hard work for Alex to recover from 18th, but we'll look at our strategy tonight and find the best way to give him a good chance of getting up the field.

"Programme wise, everything went ok on Nico's car, and I think he managed to get the best that he could out of it. Plenty of work to do."
