At the Spanish Grand Prix, Barrichello was knocked out in Q1 for the first time. He claimed he had been unable to understand his engineer while out on the circuit. The Circuit de Catalunya has a history of radio-related problems. In the race, Williams gambled on a two-stop strategy for Hülkenberg, a mistake that shunted the German driver down the order where he was caught up in a duel with a struggling Rosberg. Barrichello benefited from Lewis Hamilton's late crash to score two points, finishing in 9th, despite starting 18th on the grid and equalled Ayrton Senna's record of highest-scoring Brazilian driver in Formula One. Williams felt the new Cosworth CA2010 was not good enough and demanded Cosworth to improve the new engine in every area.
