Williams: missed opportunity in Canada

Missed opportunity for Williams in Canada. Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg failed to capitalize on the speed of the car and finished in 14th and 15th position.

“Today we were there with our pace to collect some points, but the race became very chaotic” declared Barrichello, who lost ground due to an anti-stall problem. “I had a problem on the grid, so I had to make up some positions. I passed Alguersuari but he came at me, it was a 2g impact. The damage blocked the left front brake vent and when the temperature rose I lost the pedal and had to let everyone through to my pit. Even after the stop, it took three laps before the brakes worked again, so the accident really destroyed our race, it's frustrating for the whole team since the car was definitely capable of finishing the race in good shape. position today."

Hulkenberg had started in the top 10 but was slowed down by a battle with Sutil and was penalized for speeding in the pitlane.

“The first problem happened when I was fighting with Sutil and I damaged my front wing, so I had to make an unscheduled stop on lap six,” said Hulkenberg. “Then unfortunately on my second stop I exceeded the speed limit so I was penalised. All these episodes cost me a lot of time and we did not achieve a points finish which was clearly possible today. Overall the car has improved a lot here and I'm sorry I didn't capitalize on all the team's hard work this weekend."
