Spyker hoping for something special in Shanghai

The Spyker MF1 team has arrived in China on the back of a busy and intensive period of testing and demonstration events in the UK and Italy. Sporting a striking new orange and silver livery to represent the team's imminent hand-over to Spyker Cars NV the team boss Colin Kolles is hoping for something special.

"Underneath the new team image is still the same commitment to being successful and underneath our new livery is a car with great potential," said Kolles. "Both of our drivers have shown some excellent performances this year but I hope the extra lift we have all received recently will spur them on to achieving something special this weekend." 

Meanwhile Christijan Albers adedd, "So much has happened since the last race in Monza that we have arrived in China looking like the new team - Spyker M F1 Team. It is an exciting time for everybody; I hope that we can put on a good performance and show that we now have an even greater commitment to being competitive with our rivals. The car has improved all season but due to bad luck has missed some great opportunities to show its capabilities. That first point is out there somewhere and I hope that we can get it in the bag this weekend."
