Williams moves up to fifth in championship standings

The Williams Formula 1 team is now in fifth place after Nico Rosberg's fifth place finish at Sunday's British Grand Prix. Rosberg scored another four points for his team. His team-mate, Kazuki Nakajima, was well on the pace but dropped down the order after his first pitstop and finished eleventh.

Nico Rosberg said about his result at Silverstone: "I am very pleased for the whole team, and for myself, that we had another good race. We still didn't get the result that we are capable of today, but Barrichello was slow in the middle stint and I was stuck behind him and that cost me the place to Massa. If that hadn't happened, we would have had a solid fourth place. I have to say a big well done to the team because everyone is doing a really great job and we are moving ahead in terms of development. We are consistent on every track so I'm looking forward to the races to come.

Kazuki Nakajima said: "That result was not ideal for me. There weren't any particular reasons for it. I was pleased with my start and I thought it was going to be a good race for me, but I was held up by the car in front before my first stop and then it was difficult to keep up with the cars ahead of me for the rest of the race."
