Williams left hoping for 'much more'

The British squad scored two points thanks a seventh place finish by Kazuki Nakajima.

Teammate Nico Rosberg, who had started from an impressive sixth place, had a troubled race which ended up with a big crash on lap 56.

The German was uninjured but his car was destroyed. He was taken to the medical centre for precautionary checks.

"It was good to get two points, but not a satisfactory race as we should have scored much more, but there are probably plenty of teams saying that today," said Michael.

"Kazuki drove well and didn't make any mistakes. He would have finished higher up the order, but we had a problem with a wheel nut on his final pitstop and he lost places as a result. It was a good effort for his first time around Monaco in a Formula One car.

"Nico made a couple of pitstops for damaged front wings, and then had a crash on the entry to the swimming pool. He has been very fast around here all weekend so he will be really frustrated to come away with nothing."

Nakajima welcomed the result after a tough race.

"It was really a difficult race, especially at the beginning when the track was very wet. I couldn't see anything in front of me, or at the rear, so I just tried to keep the car on track.

"I think we had some luck with the weather and the track conditions as I was on a one-stop strategy and it really worked well for me. It was a shame to have a problem in my pit-stop, but I still finished in the points so I am quite happy."
