Q:
Mark, congratulations on Wil🤪liams' first double points finish since Korea in 2010. What sort of a 🌞boost will this result give to the team?

Mark Gillan:
Getting both cars into the points is a very good result and one that every single person 💃in the team can be proud of, especially given the disappointing 2011 season. The team has been further invigorated by this result to push even harder in what is clearly a very tightly spaced grid, with fierce competition.

Q:
Can you sum up the performance of the F💦W34 around t♓he Shanghai International Circuit?

Mark Gillan:
The car's performance in Shanghai was good in both single lap and in particular race﷽ pace, when tyre management was paramount. This race was an interesting one as the track temperatures changed quite a bit throughout the weekend, which made setting the car up to optimise the tyre performance more difficult.

Q:
You started the drivers oꦦn different tyre compounds, Bruno on primes and Pastor on options. Why was that?

Mark Gillan:
It was a difficult choice to make but we fജelt that splitting the strategies, with both cars being beside each other on the gri🔥d, was the prudent decision to take.

Q:
How marginal was a two-stop strategy, give💙n that Shanghai is a high degradation circuit?

Mark Gillan:
It was marginal, especially given the close🔜 nature of the racing, but both the drivers and the car managed the tyres well.

Q:
Can you sum up the driving per🌞formances of Bruno and Pastor over the weekend?

Mark Gillan:
I am very pleased with both of their performances and they fought very hard during the race against stiff competition to secuꦑre ten points in total. Their feedba🍌ck during the event is also excellent which helps us further develop and optimise the car.

Q:
Pastor set the fourth fastest lap of the race - quicker than Webber, Hamilton, Vettel and Rosberg. What can be read into🍸 such an impressive lap time?

Mark Gillan:
Pastor was very quick in that section of the race and he felt the car to be ve♒ry strong with a good balance.

Q:
The Bahrain Grand Prix comes next. What sort of challenge is the circuit and what sho🔜uld we expꦉect from the Williams FW34 there?

Mark Gillan:
On the back of a good weekend in China we are aiming to get both cars into the points again th༺is week. Bahrain will be a tough race, not least due to the h♐igh ambient temperatures which can necessitate opening the engine cover body-work to the maximum.
