Mark Webber: Malaysia is obviously very, very hot, so the track temperature is very hard on the tyres, which needs managing. The track is beautiful to drive on; you really get to feel the sensation of a Formula One car, particularly in the middle sector. Its a great venue and, as a track, it has different demands to the Melbourne circuit, so thats something well be looking to get on top of very quickly.
Sebastian Vettel: The Malaysia Circuit is actually more difficult than it seems. It has big run off areas and a broad track, meaning it appears easy, but it's not. The heat, high humidity and weather arent the only challenges, as the main thing is to find the ideal car set up. There are two straights of almost one kilometre, but you also need a lot of wing on the car to create enough downforce for the corners, so it requires skill to find the right compromise. Its good to go there off the back of Australia and I hope we get another strong result.
