India preview quotes: Red Bull

Friday, October 21st 2011, 14:17 GMT

Sebastian Vettel: "By the time we race in india, i'll have done several laps of the track on the simulator. What i know so far is that the track is 5.14km and in the industrial town of noida, about 50 minutes by car from new delhi. The track is a combination of slow corners and high- speed straights which flow into each other. The altitude difference is extreme, rather like in Spa or Turkey, which will give the driving an additional element. incidentally, we're expecting the track to have the second highest average speed of the season after Monza. That means that we'll be completing a lap at an average speed of 235kph, so there should be plenty of good opportunities to overtake. i'm really looking forward to india; i always do when we drive on a new track."

Mark Webber: "We have completed some good simulator work, but in terms of the kerbs and other subtle final details, these will obviously come into place right at the end, so i'd say we have an 85% understanding of what the track is going to be like. it's always nice to drive at a new venue and in the simulator it looks like quite a quick flowing track, very rewarding. it's going to be pretty warm, which is going to be a challenge for the tyres. i've never been to india before. There are some amazing cricket players from india - it's their number one sport and i'd love to watch australia play cricket there someday. i'm looking forward to the weekend."
