US preview quotes: Honda

"The circuit is not such a high-speed circuit which I generally prefer, but you can get some great racing as there are some good overtaking opportunities. The key to getting a quick lap around the Speedway is achieving a package which doesn't have too much aerodynamic drag for the long straight.

"The place has a lot of history and the fans are so passionate about their racing. We always have a lot of support when F1 goes to Indy which makes for a great atmosphere over the race weekend."

Rubens Barrichello: "The circuit at Indianapolis is quite unique and the venue usually puts on a great show over the race weekend. Although the track is not particularly challenging and actually very slow with the tight in-field section, it is a lot of fun, particularly driving the first corner of the oval banking flat out.

"It's always a good race for the fans because you can overtake at Indianapolis. It's a long way from the grid down to the first corner so that is a good opportunity or at the end of the back straight."

Shuhei Nakamoto - Senior Technical Director: "After a frustrating race in Canada, we are looking forward to Indianapolis which presents a different set-up challenge with its mix of high speed sections and twisting infield. The circuit also offers good overtaking opportunities. We will be pushing as hard as possible to achieve a better result."
