Q:
He started off particularly well but the qualifying seems to have dropped off a bit.
JH:
I think only the last race in Barcelona. I think he had a very strong race in Barcelona, but he didn't manage really to get a strong lap that he had shown in the first three that he could actually put in. It is part of the growing experience in
F1 and getting used to the tyres, getting used to setting up the car for both the race and qualifying. We are very happy where he is at the moment and we expect a lot more performance in the next two to three races.
Q:
We have seen
Jarno Trulli in the Top 10 quite a lot in the last few years, but not necessarily confirming that with points finishes. But in three out of the four races this year he has been in the points. What has changed?
JH:
I think he just has confidence in the car. He is really sparkling if I can say that this year. From the Bahrain test he had confidence in the car and he is really delivering in qualifying and I think he has an extremely strong race pace.
Q:
Frank, a word about
Kazuki Nakajima – twice in the points. How do you feel he has got on?
Frank Williams:
Well, he is very young and very sincere and earnest. He works hard at the track and away from the track and spends more time on his fitness than even
Nico Rosberg does. I think if his car is good enough he will be as good as the car and he will do well.
Q:
Nico seems to have been in and out of the top ten. Is the problem with the car?
FW:
We have seen him spend quite a bit of time out of the Top 10 until the time it really matters. I don't know how many times we have qualified out of the top ten, but I don't think it is more than once or twice this year. But it doesn't seem to bother him and he always seems to accelerate from 15th to tenth at the first corner and tenth to eighth by the second. It is great to watch.
Q:
How do you feel you are getting on with the battle in the midfield as that really is a major battle with everybody?
FW:
It is. It is unpredictable every time. You could be at the top of it or the bottom of it only covered by two or three-tenths-of-a-second at two or three circuits. It is not the place to be.
Q:
But knowing you are a racer it must be very exciting to see where you are coming out of it.
