Objectives P1 & P2 • Familiarisation runs of the new Buddh International Circuit • Testing of upgrade components • Tyre runs and set‐up work |
Rubens Barrichello:
 "It was nice to get to know the Buddh circuit today. We obviously encountered the dirt, like everyone else, and quite normal for a new circuit. We don’t know where we stand at the moment because the track is evolving all the time, but hopefully we will have a good qualifying tomorrow." |
Pastor Maldonado:
 "I would like to thank the mechanics for working so hard to change engines in time for this afternoon's session. The balance of the car seems ok and I am confident we will have a good race pace. Tyre degradation isn't that high, but we will have to look at our strategy as the hard option tyre isn't the best fit with our package." |
Mark Gillan Chief Operations
Engineer: "This
is a new circuit so the main purpose today was to familiarise ourselves
with it. In spite of some challenges, both drivers completed their full
Friday race preparation and tyre programme."
