Rubens Barrichello
Barrichello was surprised by how bumpy the track was after practice:
I was very surprised by Silverstone today. I really love this circuit, it is one of my favourites, but it’s really, really bumpy. It’s quite odd and I’m sorry to say this because I’m usually such a fan. We weren’t anticipating such a bumpy track, so we had to make a lot of unexpected set-up changes in response.
Rubens Barrichello
Nonetheless he reached Q3 and brought the car home in the top five for the second race in a row.

Nico Hülkenberg
Held up by Vitantonio Liuzzi in qualifying and missed the cut for Q3 by three tenths of a second. Liuzzi was later given a five-placed grid penalty.
He ended the first lap where he started, having been passed by Vitaly Petrov but then fighting back to take Sebastien Buemi in The Loop.
A late pit stop allowed him to take the place back from Petrov and he successfully defended it when the Renault driver tried to take it back at Brooklands.
But Hülkenberg could do little prevent Sebastian Vettel demoting him to tenth. He picked up the last point despite his car coming to a halt after the chequered flag.

We talk about Rookie of the year I think we need to have a award for the older driver of the year selecting driver 35 & above & so far this season Barrichello deserve it.
All of a sudden Williams are looking good to fight against Force India, Barrichello had a quite race in Silverstone.

I really hope they can be a front runner again.
Williams is Formula 1 as it should be!

I’ve never been a huge Williams fan apart from the fact that they’re still the dominant privateer team in F1 but I suppose it may have something to do with the fact that the two champions they produced in the last fifteen years don’t really stack up against their peers

Their last two champions less than exceptional ability is a reflection of how dominant there car was in 1996/1997
