05/07/2008 – Mal resultado de Williams que tuvo un difícil período de sesiones de calificación para el Gran Premio Británico en Silverstone. Nico Rosberg no pasó de la Q1 y terminó P18. Kazuki Nakajima sólo ligeramente mejor pasó a Q2, pero terminó P15.

Nico Rosberg:
“He tenido un problema con mi suspensión todo el fin de semana, lo que está haciendo el coche realmente difícil de conducir en las curvas. Hemos estado, obviamente, tratando de encontrar una solución a lo largo de las sesiones pero, hasta ahora, nada ha funcionado. La carrera va a ser muy difícil.”

Sam Michael, Director Técnico:
“Hemos tenido una avería en el sistema de suspensión del coche de Nico que le impidió mejorar su tiempo de vuelta. Vamos a corregirlo para mañana cambiando algunas de partes. Kazuki no tienen el mismo problema, pero nuestro coche es evidente que no funciona bien en Silverstone y su posición en la parrilla es el resultado. Esto no representa la capacidad del equipo AT & T Williams, y debemos trabajar para hacer que rectificarlo.”

BRITISH GRAND PRIX - QUALIFYING
SATURDAY 5 JULY, 2008
AT&T Williams had a difficult qualifying session for Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone today. Having suffered with an unresolved suspension issue all weekend, Nico Rosberg was forced out of Q1 in P18. Kazuki Nakajima fared only slightly better making it into Q2 but was restricted to P15, the conclusion of a lack of grip and an underperforming car.
Nico Rosberg:
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. 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.
Kazuki Nakajima:
Obviously it was a very hard qualifying session for us. 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.
Sam Michael, Technical Director:
We had a malfunction in the suspension system of Nico’s car which prevented him from improving his lap time. We will correct it for tomorrow by changing parts. Kazuki did not have the same problem, but our car is clearly not working well at Silverstone and his grid position is the result. This does not represent the capability of the AT&T Williams team, and we must work to do rectify that.
