Malaysia Preview Quotes: Jordan

Nick Heidfeld: "I am looking forward to this race very much. I scored points here the last two seasons and of course I would like to do it again. I hope that we have more success than in Melbourne and I am optimistic because there are some differences with the tyres and the car for this weekend and hopefully we will get something out of analysing our last race."

Giorgio Pantano: "I think the track looks beautiful and hopefully will be easier to learn than Albert Park. The heat and humidity is a little bit worrying but have I travelled to Kuala Lumpur early to train in these climate conditions. It's my second Grand Prix and I'm keen to see what we can do - I know the car and team better so I hope we can achieve an improved result. The last race was a good experience for me and for sure, there's a lot more to come."

James Robinson, Head of Race and Test Engineering: "We were encouraged by our experiences in Melbourne and it's great that Giorgio has a Formula One race under his belt, a well-driven one at that. We fully understand the cause of Nick's clutch problem and have implemented changes for this weekend. This race will test the drivers and cars to the limit, with track temperatures of up to 54ºC and very high humidity levels. One of our strengths is our young and fit driver line-up as these conditions play heavily on driver fitness. The track is challenging, very modern with good facilities and technically is a circuit that is very rewarding if everything comes together and you get it right. It will be interesting to see Bridgestone's continuous improvement with the tyres and weather changes are usually a big factor here, something we expect may come into play with our strategy on Sunday."
