| Pastor Maldonado con los neumáticos duros, Gran Premio de Malasia, Sepang, 22 de marzo 2013 |
En Williams luego de una prometedora campaña de pre-temporada en la cual se mostraron optimistas y esperanzados, se vieron sorprendidos al estar muy fuera del ritmo de los autos de punta en el Gran Premio de Australia y desde entonces han batallado para sacar el potencial del auto. A pesar de haber analizado la data y determinar cuáles podrían ser las raíces del problema y de probar varias soluciones y configuraciones del auto durante las pruebas libres del viernes este fin de semana en Malasia, parecen no haber encontrado una solución que les funcione y les permita mejorar el desempeño y la velocidad del nuevo FW35, Maldonado mencionó que han recolectado data que les permitirá mejorar un poco de cara a la calificación pero que en general no están claros acerca de cómo resolver los problemas
Maldonado terminó las FP1 en la P12 y la FP2 en P16 mientras que su compañero Bottas termino en P16 y P19 respectivamente.
Algunas declaraciones de integrantes del equipo Williams en Malasia:
Pastor Maldonado - FP1: 12th, FP2: 16th
"We didn't have the pace today unfortunately. We need to analyse the data tonight to see what we can do. We have a lot of work to do but we'll be pushing hard to see what we can achieve tomorrow."
Valtteri Bottas - FP1: 16th, FP2: 19th
"We had a number of parts to test today following the race in Melbourne and we were evaluating different things between the two cars. We will analyse the data to see what worked well and make some decisions for qualifying tomorrow. We hope to find some improvements, but we know we still have a lot of work to do to close the gap."
Mike Coughlan, technical director
"We haven't made the progress we had hoped for today. We need to look at the data we have from both sessions to maximise the package we have. We will then head straight back to the factory to work on some improvements ahead of Shanghai."
