Williams team hopes to build on P2 in championship

The Williams Formula 1 team finished third and sixth with Rosberg and Nakajima. The duo claimed nine points in Australia placing the team in P2 for the constructors' championship, five points behind on McLaren. Williams' technical director Sam Michael was happy with the team's performance and hopes it can build on the team's second place in the championship.

ooking back at the race Sam Michael said: "It's a fantastic start to the season, we knew we had the potential in the car but didn't realise it because of the reliability problems we had in practice, but that all came out in the race. Nico kept his head down through lots of difficult situations, he had good strong car pace throughout the race and congratulations to him for his first podium. Kazuki did well too despite being involved in two incidents.

"Both cars had solid reliability throughout the race and it's great to go away with a haul of points from the first Grand Prix. After tonight we will look forward to Malaysia for better qualifying and build on our second place in the championship."
