NEWS STORY
23/03/2012

Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: We have had a very constructive day's running, with all three drivers performing well in hot and humid conditions. We had no issues and completed the whole test programme. We are pleased with our preparation for the race, and we will look to build on this performance throughout the weekend.

Pastor Maldonado: We've had a good day of running in Malaysia. The team have done a great job and we completed our test programme without any problems. The car looks consistent and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. It will be a challenge to get into Q3, but I will be pushing hard to achieve that.

Bruno Senna: We had more work to do this afternoon having not run in P1, but our pace on longer runs looked good. We still need to improve throughout P3 tomorrow morning, but we have a good direction to go in. The track is very different to Australia and it will be a long, tough race but I am looking forward to it.

Valtteri Bottas: I am only the ninth Finnish person ever to drive during a Grand Prix weekend, which is a nice fact that I've just found out. After testing in Barcelona, my focus was on coming here and I've prepared myself as I would for a race weekend, both physically and mentally. I had a good rhythm from the beginning of P1 and we completed our programme ahead of P2. It was so hot out there, the hardest conditions I've driven in. While you are driving you don't feel it as much but as soon as you stop the heat really hits you.
