Williams F1 Confident Of Podium Result At Brazil GP

williams-f1-2008-brazil-gp.jpg

In a recent interview, AT&T Williams F1 technical director Sam Michael told the media that Williams F1 looks forward to a positive result at Brazil Grand Prix as its a circuit which they have done well in recent times

Nico Rosberg finished fourth and Kazuki Nakajima tenth last year and the Williams team are hoping to finish ahead of the Red Bull Racing in the constructors’ championship

Currently Williams is 3 points behind Red Bull who has 29 points.

The Brazil Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace circuit in Sao Paolo is known for its bumpiness, much more than other F1 tracks, and the Williams F1 team seems to revel in that kind of condition as the last Grand Prix with the same bumps was Singapore GP, where Rosberg finished second while Nakajima eight

AT&T Williams F1 technical director Sam Michael

“Of course it would be great to get another position in the Constructors’. However, we would need things to go our way quite a bit to do that. But we will go there and give it our best. To do that over one weekend given how tight it is in the midfield will be a challenge but that is what we have to try and do.

Traditionally Brazil has been a circuit that Williams has done pretty well at. That is probably because it is dominated by slow speed corners and although there are a couple of high-speed corners there – one of them is flat-out and the other is just before braking for another corner – the effect of them on the lap time is not large.

As such it is a track that plays to Williams’ advantages. It is a bit bumpy too – but not as much as it was in the past, although it is still bumpier than some of the more ‘standard’ tracks. Overall then it is a track that suits our car”
