Rubens Barrichello \u2013 16th and 14th<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab Today, it was one of the qualifying sessions where I had the most fun. We have a new package for this race, but the car is still not as fast as we would have liked. Unfortunately, I had traffic all the time, which is a shame because I’m really certain that we could have reached Q3 \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Pastor Maldonado \u2013 13th and 16th<\/b>*<\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a difficult qualifying session due to the changing conditions, and I had some balance issues because of that, especially during Q1. I was hoping for a bit better in Q2 and thought we could reach Q3, but I encountered traffic in my last lap, which cost me time. This race is long, and I think our pace is better here, so we’ll see. About what happened with Lewis: he slowed down a lot at the end of the session, so I tried to pass him. I then felt contact at the back of my car. I really don’t know what happened. It was a tough moment \u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Both drivers easily got through Q1. We were in a good position to be in the top 10 in Q2, but the red flag completely compromised our program. With so much traffic upon resumption, we didn’t have a clear lap. It was the same for everyone and we will now focus on the race \u00bb.<\/p>\n

After encouraging performances in Q1, Williams was envisioning the possibility of reaching the third and final part of the qualifying session.
