Barrichello satisfied with first point of season
14 March 2010Rubens Barrichello finished Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix in tenth position, scoring one point for the Williams team on his first outing for Sir Frank Williams' company. The Brazilian later admitted, however, that he had hoped for more as team-mate Nico Hülkenberg finished fourteenth in his first Formula 1 race.
"It's good to have a point but, in all honesty, we thought that we would do a little better when we arrived here," Barrichello explained. "So it's really all down to us - we can see that the competition is pretty fierce and there were no retirements among the leading cars.
"I think we finished around about where we deserved, so it will be up to us to close up the gap."
"It was a tough and difficult debut for me today," added Hülkenberg, the reigning GP2 Champion. "Right from the start, I had to take some evasive action to avoid a crash in Turn 2, which dropped me couple of places, and a few laps later I spun at Turn 6. I am still not really sure how it happened - initially I thought there was something broken on the car but it was not the case.
"I jumped the kerbs and maybe hurt the car a bit, as it was quite difficult to drive for the rest of what was a long and lonely afternoon for me. It's been a tough weekend but the practice and long run pace has been good and we need to build on that."
