Only occasional low-fuel heroism presented a different view now and again. It was hard to tell where they were in regards to BMW-Sauber, due to the latter doing it's own thing mostly. So for me, Williams are fourth. This is Roberg's opinion and, more importantly,  Mario Thiessen's aswell. McLaren had similar issues in Malaysia, but we're not going to mention their downward slide, are we? I watched the Oz GP from the exit of turn 6 and it was easy to tell who had decent grip on exit. The Renault looked twitchy, the Red Bull was unimpressive, but the Williams looked bang-on and fast out of the corner - just like the Beamers, Macca's and those red cars.

After the pre-season they had raised some expectations, but in my opinion, they didn't do anything exceptional this season. Yes they had a podium, but only 7 finished that race. This one will show where williams really is (i think between Red Bull and Renault).
