Ralf eyes more points in Malaysia

Ralf Schumacher heads to Malaysia determined to build on the point he battled to in the Australian Grand Prix over a fortnight ago. The German driver believes the Sepang circuit is a good one for him.

"Compared to Melbourne, the conditions in Malaysia are completely different," Ralf said. "The heat and humidity we experience there is a real challenge for everyone in the team, not just the drivers. I have trained for the heat and I have been able to adjust to the climate with the testing at Sepang so I am in good shape for the race weekend, there are no worries about that."

"I like the circuit, there are some opportunities for overtaking there and it is a new track so the facilities are really great," he added. "Also, I have had some good races there and I am hoping for another this year. We made a reasonable start to the season with my point in Australia but we want to be more competitive and hopefully the work we did at our test last week will move us closer to the front. I am optimistic we can be fighting for more points this weekend."
