Rubens Barrichello has admitted the Williams team need to find a second’s worth of pace if they are to run with the top teams.
Barrichello joined the Williams team from last years championship winners, Brawn GP. Many had hoped his vast knowledge and experience would bring some much needed pace to the FW32, however, having only scored five points, whilst teammate Nico Hulkenberg has just the one, it seems his knowledge has failed to push the Grove based team up the grid.
However, he is confident they know where to find the much needed pace.
“We know exactly where we need to find some of our pace,” he told Speedweek.
“We shall not suddenly somewhere, get a second. The important thing is that I am firmly convinced that this second is in the car. We will improve the car further and further. We have to come in qualifying in the top six. Even to achieve this, we need to find half a second.”
With the Spanish GP just over two weeks away, teams are pushing through newer and bigger developments, the race in Catalunya is likely to set the tone for the remainder of the season.
