Claire Williams firm on retaking fourth

Williams deputy team principal Claire Williams is not giving up on fourth position in the constructers standings and are going to do everything in their power to re-overtake Force India.

After a recent haul of poor results Williams have slipped down to fifth position in the standings, and Williams state that their goal is to get back fourth position both for sporting and financial reasons. 

"We've got some issues at the moment with tyre management and aero etc,..." she said.

"I am worried because losing fourth place in the championship means losing quite a lot of dollars as well in your prize money income, so it's not something that we can allow to happen and we are going to have to work really hard if we are going to hold them off."

"I know that Force India would love nothing more than to take fourth place and that for us would be extremely disappointing."

"I think because you've got the three teams at the top that are taking the top six positions, Williams and Force India and we are scrapping around for one, two, three points and maybe the odd occasion of being bumped up if there's a reliability issue or whatever."

"So [the battle with Force India] that really does worry me. That's not what I wanted and that's a result of some very disappointing races where we should have capitalised on circuits that suited our car, but we made a number of mistakes."
