Drivers have said they don't know what to expect from the Sepang International Circuit this weekend.
The Malaysia track was resurfaced earlier this year and when speaking to the press ahead of this weekend's Malaysia Grand Prix, leaving people unsure of what to expect.
"It’s dark so that’s a major difference," said Jenson Button. "It’s very smooth, from what I see. Obviously we’re going to try and watch every practice session that runs today. You get a better understanding."
"The last corner is obviously very different with the off-camber but yeah, I don’t know if it’s similar to Sochi or not but it seems like it, the bitumen, the way that the asphalt is," he continued. "So it might be a completely different circuit, but we won’t know until tomorrow, probably get a bit of an understanding from watching GP2 and GP3."
Nico Rosberg agreed that it was a step into the unknown, saying: " It will be a big challenge because it will be very different and we all need to adapt to the new asphalt, which we don’t know how it’s going to handle here."
Nico Hulkenberg, however, said that while the tarmac is different, it presents the same challenge for everyone.
"Neutral, same for everyone but generally the smooth tarmac," said the Force India driver. "We’ve seen recently we perform quite well on that so hopefully again here."
