Race soon to forget for Williams

Race soon to forget for Williams

03 August 2008 / Results / Photos

The Williams Formula 1 team had one of their most difficult race weekends of the season so far. The team never really got close to the top ten from the start of the weekend. In Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix Nakajima finished in 13th, just ahead of team mate Nico Rosberg who finished 14th.

Speaking about his race Kazuki Nakajima said: "Obviously it was a very difficult race for us. We converted my strategy to a one stopper, which was the right thing to do, so thanks to the team for that. After that though, I was running heavy and struggling on the option tyres so had to fight for pace. I then made contact with Fisichella and lost a position. Fortunately, I was able to regain it when he had to make his final stop. That was all we could do today so we need to look into what happened and try to improve for the next race."

Nico Rosberg said: "My first lap wasn't great. I was in the wrong place and lost a few positions. Then, during my first pit-stop, something went wrong with the fuel rig which cost me a couple of decisive seconds and put me behind Fisichella. My strategy was over then. In terms of the heat I didn't have a problem with it; we've definitely had worse races this year."
