Williams: Barrichello and Maldonado's comments after free practice in Abu Dhabi

The comments of Rubens Barrichello and Pastor Maldonado after the free practice of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The two Williams drivers finished the day in sixteenth and seventeenth positions respectively.

Rubens Barrichello – 16: We had a small setback in the morning with an engine problem so we were chasing in the afternoon. The team did a good job of changing the engine between sessions. The one we used in the second session still had a few kilometers left, but it did a good job.

Pastor Maldonado – 17: We have covered all our scheduled runs today. I worked hard to optimize my car set-up for the race due to the grid penalty. We still need to do some work to find a better balance. If we can do that, it will help our performance. The tires are doing well here, the degradation is quite low, so that's positive.
