Barrichello: 'Points are possible'
Posted: Friday July 29th 2011, 18:08 GMT
Williams is having a tough season. The team is currently 9th in the championship and only has 4 championship points. Today wasn't a lot better: Rubens Barrichello ended the day as 13th and Pastor Maldonado was 15th. But Barrichello, who won the race in 2002, thinks that it's possible to score points at the Hungaroring: "We tested a lot of things today. We had to run without KERS in the morning session because of a small problem but we reinstated it for the afternoon and it was fine. The car has improved a little bit, but P13 isn't where we want to be and it's going to be tough to break into Q3 tomorrow. Our goal today was to focus on set-up for the race as I think points are achievable here."
Sam Michael explained that the team worked on a lot of new parts: "We tested different diffusers and a new rear wing with Rubens today and new bodywork and a revised suspension system on Pastor's car. Although we had a KERS issue in P1, both cars will have KERS for qualifying and we will have the new rear wing for Pastor's car in time for tomorrow's last practice session."
Last year Barrichello qualified 12th. His teammate back then, Nico Hulkenberg, qualified 10th.
