Q:
Mark, congratulations on Williams' first double points finish since Korea in 2010. What sor🐭t 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 sp🌌aced grid, with fierce competition.

Q:
Can you sum up the performance of the FW34෴ around the Shanghai International Cir🦋cuit?

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 tyඣre performance more difficult.

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

Mark Gillan:
It was a ꦫdifficult choice to make but we felt that splitting the strategi🐷es, with both cars being beside each other on the grid, was the prudent decision to take.

Q:
How marginal was a two-s♕top strategy, given 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 performances of Bruno and Pasto💫r over the wౠeekend?

Mark Gillan:
I am very pleased with both of their performances and they fought very hard during the race against stiff competition to secure ten poin𒐪ts in total. Their feedback during the event is also excellent which helps u൩s further develop and optimise the car.

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

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

Q:
The Bahrain Grand Prix comes next. What sort of challenge is the circuit and what should we expect fro♛m 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 againꦅ this week. Bahrain will be a tough race, not least due to the high ambient temperatures which can necessitate opening the engine ꦦcover body-work to the maximum.
