Singapore GP: Practice notes - Caterham

21/09/2012

Heikki Kovalainen: "We've been working on the setup with the new parts we've brought here and I think we need a bit more time to get the best out of them. The car's balance felt pretty good in both sessions but we weren't able to get everything out of it. We also need to look at tyre wear as we were seeing higher degradation than we'd like on both compounds, but that's something we can work on tonight and make sure we improve tomorrow."

Vitaly Petrov: "In both sessions today we were evaluating the new front and rear wings we've brought here. With the new parts we focused on optimising the balance on different fuel loads and the tyre choices and I think we're moving in the right direction. We definitely have more to come from it and I think we'll unlock more pace tomorrow as we head towards quali. On the tyres we found the supersofts were starting to go off after no more than one lap so I think that'll make tyre choice in qualifying really interesting."
