Sahara Force India is wary of a relatively warm weather in Sepang, which the Silverstone-based F1 team says can impact the result of Sunday’s Malaysian GP.
Nico Hulkenberg says the second race of the season will be a good test for all the teams.
‘Malaysia is going to be a tough challenge with totally different track characteristics and higher temperatures, which always leads to higher tyre degradation. It should be a good test of the new cars because it’s much more open than Melbourne with a nice variation of high and low-speed corners, plus two long straights,’ the German racer said.
Team Principal, Vijay Mallya also felt the same. ‘The weather in Melbourne was relatively cool so I’d like to see what impact the warmer climates of Malaysia and Bahrain will have on the performances and competitions,’ he said.
