The Williams team suffered yet another double-DNF of the season, following both drivers reliability issues in Australia.
The Grove based outfit are yet to complete a race distance as Pastor Maldonado suffered from a misfiring engine, whilst Rubens Barrichello pitted after a left-rear puncture and then a hydraulic issue which terminated his race.
Technical director Sam Michael says the performance is unacceptable: “As a team, we expect to, and must, perform much better than that on all fronts.”
Both drivers are now looking forward to the Chinese GP in just a weeks time where they both hope to complete a race.
“I am now looking ahead to China where I will be pushing to complete a full race distance and get a better result,” said Maldonado.
Barrichello added: “Right now we don’t have a reliable car and we’re playing catch up, but the team back home are pushing hard to get things resolved and bring performance to the car. I believe they will be there soon.”
