Sepang is quite a different circuit to the two previous tracks we\u2019ve visited in that it has a lot of high speed changes of direction. We will have some improvements on the FW32 for this race, mostly relating to the aerodynamics and we will also have some upgrades to help gearshifting. Both drivers will be working hard on our starts over the course of the weekend to get back to our usual standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rubens Barrichello<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like Malaysia very much. Physically, it\u2019s one of the toughest races on the calendar and you have to go there expecting it to be really hot. One year I lost something like 1.3kg during the race. Because of the heat, you have to be well prepared, physically and mentally, but we all do a lot of training to make sure that we are.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy the layout of the circuit. It has a good mix of corners, high and low speed, and it flows well. It is also quite wide which will give us some overtaking opportunities around the lap. A strong set-up is crucial in order to get a good lap time around Kuala Lumpur so having a productive practice on Friday will be really important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nico H\u00fclkenberg<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I obviously don\u2019t have experience of Sepang in an F1 car, but I raced there when I was competing in A1 GP so I know the circuit already which will be helpful. Melbourne was really frustrating for me so I\u2019m happy that this is a back to back race and I can get back in the car again quickly. We\u2019ll be pushing hard to try to get a better result.<\/p>\n<p>Malaysia is not a favourite track of mine, but it\u2019s ok. Turns five and six are really quick, about 250km\/h, so that part of the circuit is my favourite. It\u2019s going to be hot, but I spent a few weeks in Malaysia in January to do some training so I feel well prepared. I\u2019m looking forward to getting there and to a good race.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Courtesy Williams F1 \u00a9 RIF<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Williams F1 &#8211; 2010 Malaysian GP Preview \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[3,604],"tags":[5262,5261,5340,528,448,352,544,5336,595],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4021"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4021"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4021\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4024,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4021\/revisions\/4024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racinginfocus.com\/rif\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
