Williams just misses out on points

The Williams team finished in the top ten with one car today after Alex Wurz took the chequered flag in ninth place. Nico Rosberg had driven a fine race and was running sixth but suffered an engine failure with only 13 laps to go.

Alex Wurz commented on today's Malaysian Grand Prix: "It was a good race and I had fun, especially in the first stint, when I had a good pace on soft tyres and could overtake. I am also happy from the physical point of view, because I feel ok, even after such tough afternoon. Starting from 19th made it difficult to fight against Trulli and Kovalainen by the end of the race and it was disappointing to finish just out of the points."

Nico Rosberg said: "We managed to improve our qualifying performance from Australia so I had a good starting position but I lost 6th place to Kubica at the start. Later he made a mistake or had a problem and I thought, I'm right next to him and I managed to claw the place back. I had a good run through the next couple of corners to hold the position and that opened up my race really well. From there I gave it everything I had, but it all came to a halt. It was a great shame not to finish but things are progressing and we hope we can do better in a week's time."
