Sam Michael: new front wing and diffuser for Silverstone
Posted: Tuesday June 28th 2011, 09:06 GMT
Williams finished the race last weekend as 12th and 18th. Not a great result but technical director Sam Michael was happy with his drivers. He says that an early puncture hurt the chances of Pastor Maldonado: "Both our drivers performed well this weekend. We let Pastor down in qualifying with the fuel system problem, we then had a problem getting the car off the line at the start of the race. Pastor had a puncture during his first stint which forced him into an early pitstop and a change in strategy from a two to a three stop. When Pastor exited the pits, he was at the back of the field from where he had to fight for the remaining 56 laps."
The Brit says that they will introduce a couple of new parts in Silverstone: "We have a new front wing and revised diffuser for Silverstone. We will test two diffusers on Friday with the new off-throttle ban coming into play, as well as testing various new over-run maps. We are going to Kemble to undertake some additional aero testing in preparation for our home event."
