Q&A - Mark Gillan, Williams

Q:
How satisfying was Pastor's ❀eighth place in the ꦐJapanese Grand Prix?
Mark Gillan:
It was very pleasing to secure the four point🤪s, but as a team our goal this year is to get both cars home in the points at all races, so there is st🙈ill work to be done.
Q:
Bruno's true pace was masked byꦛ incidents in qualifying and the race. How was his pace when he was runni𒁏ng in clear air?
Mark Gillan:
Bruno had a good start but unfortunately got tangled up in an incident at the beginning of the race which led to him having to come in for an unscheduled pitstop for a new front wing and a subsequent drive-through for contact with Rosberg. Despite these two ad⛦ditional stops Bruno remained focu꧂sed and was very quick in terms of race pace which gives us and him additional confidence going into Korea.
Q:
How easy was it to set-up the FW3🍒4 for the high-speed d꧅emands of Suzuka?
Mark Gillan:
To be honest we struggled a little in qualifying set-up but had a much better𝔍 race car come Sunday.
Q:
Resurfacing 🐬work had been carried out at the track since 2011. How did the new asphalt affect performance?
Mark Gillan:
It did not really𒐪 seem to affect our performance, although we did see a few other drivers making mistakes at T13.
Q:
Some teams were worried about tyre wear during the race. How much of an issue was it on the 🐓FW34?
Mark Gillan:
We suffered a number of blisters during the event and tyre wear was an issue, but it was under control and co🎃mmunication with the drivers and engineers during the race in terms of tyre management was excellent.
Q:
The Korean Grand Prix comes next. What are your hope🅘s for next weekend?
Mark Gillan:
Simply, we want to get both cars home 🍒in t൲he points.
