Williams just out of top ten

Williams drivers Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz were disappointed not to qualify themselves in the top ten. With a 12th and 15th position for Rosberg and Wurz respectively the drivers weren't happy just yet. The duo hopes to make up for qualifying in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix.

Nico Rosberg commented: "It was a bit difficult to get it right today as the car was quite loose, so I couldn't really attack and I made a few mistakes. It's unfortunate because it's about time all our work started to produce some results. Twelfth on the grid is obviously not what we were hoping for as we are all determined to get ahead of where we were last year."

Alex Wurz said: "It was interesting to see how the qualifying sessions work from a driver's point of view, I'd have to say it is fairly brutal. Naturally I'm disappointed not to make it into the top ten, but it would have been difficult to achieve this and on my last run I lost three or four tenths at turn 15 when I slid a bit wide. Yesterday we did some strong long runs, so the race is a different story, even if I have to start from 15th."
