“The car seems to be better than last week in Melbourne, but obviously we need to

keep working hard to find a better pace. For me it is good that I know the track here so

well, that makes it easy. While driving the heat isn’t an issue, but if you sit in the car in

the garage waiting for the next outing you almost get grilled. In the afternoon session

the asphalt was really, really hot when it reached 50 degrees, and this certainly is hard

on the tyres. But perhaps it is a useful experience as the qualifying and the race are

also in the afternoon.”

“It was a really positive Friday as we were able to do a lot of testing and tried different

things including our new rear wing system. Balance wise, I am happier with the car now

than I was in Australia and I enjoy the high speed corners of the Sepang circuit quite a

lot. However, we need to find some more pace.”

“We used both sessions to test different configurations of our new rear wing. We will

analyse the data here at the track and in the factory in Hinwil to decide on the next

steps. In preparation for the race we did long runs with the option tyres to get an

understanding of their behaviour when we have a heavy car and a very high track

temperature. Overall it was a productive day without any technical problems. We were

able to complete our planned programme.”
