Q&A - Mark Gillan, Williams

Q:
How satisfying was Pastor's eighth 🐎place in the Japanese Grand Prix?
Mark Gillan:
It was very pleasing to secure the four points, but as a team our goal this year is to get boꦚth cars home in the points at all races, so there is still work to be done.
Q:
Bruno's true pace was masked by incidents in qualifying and the race. How was his pace when he was ru♋nning in clear air?
Mark Gillan:
Bruno had a good start but unfortunately got tangled up in an incident at the beginning of the race which led to him having to come in for an unscheduled pitstop for a new front wing and a subsequent drive-through for contact with Rosberg. Desp♊ite these two additional stops Bruno remained focused and was very quick in terms of race pace which gives us and him additional confid𝄹ence going into Korea.
