Button says they are holding back a bit, but are trying to sort out some tire issues. I hope Williams can keep the pace, it'd be excellent for them. Far too long away from the limelight!
so true, but lets hope it's not like last year. they looked strong during winter testing and the first gp, but afterwards they didnt have the pace to compete in the middle

Sir Jense said his car is good on the long runs. They just need to sort out the soft tire.

I wonder who has the newer BGP001 chassis.....Jense or RB. I think Jense has it because they ran into some issues in P1 and he was only able to get 12 laps in.

^ yep they have an issue in terms of gaining and maintaining speed on the first lap as the car cant seem to use the tires well. As the tires warm up Jenson says the car will perform better.

Does this mean if Brawn qualifies in P1 & P2 they'd be outrun by P3 through 5?

Crazy how practice times (by Rosberg) are considerably faster than last year's pole time already.
