Williams eyes Bahrain top ten - Wurz

Alex Wurz says the Williams team is aiming to get both its cars home in the top ten in this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. The Williams Toyota package has been very competitive so far this season, but has suffered from bad luck - a hydraulics failure stopped Nico Rosberg's charge to sixth in Malaysia and Alex Wurz's weekend was shot when his car stuck ing ear in qualifying,

"I'm looking forward to Bahrain," Wurz said. "I like the circuit and last year we produced good lap times there so I think it suits the car as well. The only thing we have to overcome is that we didn't test there over the winter so we will have a bit of catching up to do on Friday but I don't think it'll be a problem."

"We have a new aero package for the race that I tested at the Malaysia test a couple of weeks ago," he added. "It worked well so I'm optimistic that we will get the cars into the top ten if everything goes ok. That has to be our target for this weekend."
