Williams “information was misleading” according to Kubica

Williams had to restrict their testing programme due to lack of replacement components and the wear and tear on the current ones.

The team weren’t able to make an appearance in testing until two and a half days into the first week because of the late arrival of the car.

Kubica said (quoted by Autosport): "We lost another day today.

Kubica set his fastest time of testing today, setting a time of 1:18.993, over a second off the pace of Sergio Perez ahead of him.

The Pole said that the lack of spare parts and the delay of the arrival of the car was the reason their Friday wasn’t as successful as it should have been.

"Of course we faced a big delay, and some of today's issues are a consequence of being in a rush," he said.
