Williams Looking to Get Most Out of Their Favourite Indian Grand Prix This Weekend

NEW DELHI (NNN-PTI) -- Having failed to muster any points from the Korean Grand Prix, Williams F1 team driver Pastor Maldonado says he will look to make most of the cars potential at the Buddh International Circuit, which is one of his favourite tracks.

Maldonado along with Bruno Senna finished outside top ten at the last race but the duo is looking to make amends at the Indian Grand Prix (IGP), this weekend.

"India is enjoyable because it's so different and the track is one of my favourites. It's still a new track but it has a good combination of medium and high-speed corners, chicanes and good changes in direction," Maldonado said.

"Coming to the final few races, making the most of our cars potential is going to be important, so hopefully we can score points here and put ourselves in a strong position for the final three races," he added.

Meanwhile, Senna who is currently standing at 16th spot in the drivers standing, just behind his teammate Maldonado, said he was eagerly awaiting the second edition of the IGP.

"I'm looking forward to this weekend because India has a different atmosphere to many other Grands Prix and it's always a unique place to visit.

"As a new track the surface is very smooth and the layout is fast and flows well with some high speed corners which will suit our car. We should therefore be looking to improve on our performance in Korea," Senna pointed out.

Williams chief operations engineer Mark Gillan said that the team has worked hard for the coming weekend.

"On the back of a disappointing result in Korea the team has worked extremely hard to address the balance inconsistencies that affected both cars. We believe that we have found a solution and look forward to testing and optimising around the updated car," Gillan said.

"The weather forecast in Delhi is good with predicted dry running throughout the weekend in reasonably high track temperatures and, as ever, the aim is to keep both the Pirelli hard and soft tyres within their optimal working window throughout the weekend," he said. -- NNN-PTI
