| Looking ahead to Suzuka
The team heads back to the
Far East
this week for Round 16 of this year's World Championship. The Japanese
Grand Prix takes place at the legendary Suzuka Circuit which is a great
favourite amongst the drivers. Suzuka has a unique figure-of-eight layout
including famous corners such as the Spoon Curve and the high-speed 130R
and has seen some fantastic racing over the years.
Nico rates Suzuka as one of the best tracks
of the calendar: "Suzuka is technically challenging, really quick
and just a real drivers' circuit which demands the best out of you and the
car. The first sector is definitely the highlight of the lap and part of
what makes the whole layout so demanding. We've had a decent run of
results, considering our performance, with one sixth place and two fifth
places so we will be hoping to continue that at Suzuka this weekend."
Michael also loves Suzuka and is looking
forward to his return: "Driving the track is simply sensational.
Suzuka is technically demanding and has interesting corner combinations so
it is a really good feeling when you get it together. I'm heading to Japan
with some good memories and I hope that we can add more. I am definitely
up for the challenge and I am sure we will try to get the maximum out of
our weekend."
