Williams targeting sixth in constructors' standings

Williams technical director Sam Michael is confident the team can overtake Force India and finish sixth in the constructors' standings although no further developments are planned for the car this season.
Rubens Barrichello's ninth place finish and a double DNF for the Force India drivers means that Williams is now only two points behind its main rivals in the standings with three races remaining.
"It's always important to finish as high as possible in the constructors' championship because it determines the income you receive from FOM for the following season," said Michael.
"Sixth position is therefore what we are aiming to achieve in the final rounds. We have no further developments planned for the FW32 for the remainder of the season. We ran new front and rear brake ducts on the FW32s in Suzuka. These items were the last of our upgrade components that we will deliver this season. The new parts worked well so we ran them on both cars for the race.
"We will be doing straightline aero running at Kemble in order to test some components planned for 2011."
Next up is the untried and untested Yeongam circuit in Korea after it received the green light from the FIA on Tuesday.
"We have done a simple lap time simulation based on a map of the circuit. This allows us to determine start wing levels and gear ratios."
