The German says the car feels right for the season ahead and people should not judge anything based on what happened at the Albert Park. `I`ve a big sense of anticipation. We saw in Australia our car is capable of putting us in the mix.

Commenting on the upcoming ‘challenge’ at Sepang this weekend, he said the race will be a true test of the team’s strength and their abilities. “Sepang will be interesting for everybody because it will be the first clue to the real relative strengths of all the cars.” “The range of slow and fast corners give a good indication of where you are, which always makes the race in Malaysia fun for the drivers and engineers,” he said.
