Bahrain Preview Quotes: Jordan
Narain Karthikeyan: "After the race in Sepang, I went straight to Bahrain for a one-day promotional visit before returning to India for a couple of days. I met about 4,000 Indian school children, some Bahrain International Circuit officials and the Indian Ambassador. Although it was a very short stay, I have really enjoyed being in Bahrain and I am looking forward to the weekend. I have acquired a bit more experience after the first two Grands Prix so I am hoping I will also finish the race and make a better result here in Bahrain. I have been around the track and I have to say that it is fantastic. I am sure the race will be competitive, as there are at least three genuine overtaking opportunities. However, the sand might make the circuit tricky but at least it will not be as hot and humid as in Malaysia."
Tiago Monteiro: "Bahrain is another circuit where we have a lot to learn. I feel more confident as I know more and more people in the team now and we work better together so it is very interesting to feel these improvements from a human and technical point of view. Hopefully the cars will be as reliable as they were in Melbourne and Sepang and we will finish the race again."
Trevor Carlin, Sporting Director: "Our goal here at the Bahrain International Circuit is to build on the positive results from Australia and Malaysia and keep the cars at 100% reliability rate. The drivers are performing better and better so hopefully we will keep on improving."
