Mark Webber:
Chassis: FW27 05 (T-car FW27 04) / BMW P84/5 engine : 1st GP
It was a very good session for us this morning, which has put me in a good
position for the race. We've been working on our starts and we're hopeful that
it will come together well. I am planning to have a clean race running at my
own pace from the front, this time. Clearly Renault and McLaren are still very
strong but we hope we can collect some solid points today.

Nick Heidfeld:
Chassis: FW27 06 / BMW P84/5 engine: 1st GP
We had to change my engine twice during this weekend, so we decided not to go
out for qualifying today because I will have to start the race from last
anyway. I am happy that Mark is on the front row and also because our car seems
to have made a good step forward at this race.

Sam Michael (Technical Director, WilliamsF1):
This was a great qualifying lap from Mark which puts him in a strong position
for the race this afternoon. We are looking forward to a good battle at the
front. Because of the engine issues Nick has to start from the back of the grid
anyway and therefore we chose not go out in the second qualifying session.

Mario Theissen (BMW Motorsport Director):
Mark improved to take the second front row position by doing a very good lap.
Nick did not take part in the final qualifying, neither did Rubens Barrichello
due to the engine change penalty impositions . We had no technical problems.
