Drivers Comments: Shanghai
 
24-26 September – Chinese Grand Prix, Shanghai International Circuit**

Da Matta: “I have already had the chance to visit the Shanghai circuit and from what I saw at the circuit, and from their plans, they have a lot of good ideas. It looked a little bit like Malaysia and I guess that is the track it will remind me of the most when I am driving on it, and that's no bad thing because I really like Sepang. There looks to be a great mix of corners, with some slow ones which should be good for overtaking and a couple of really fast ones too. The most exciting section is a fast S bend, where I expect to be hitting around 300kph at the exit. For sure the track will be dusty, but so is every circuit the first time you go there. Hopefully we won't get much wind though and, anyway, even if we do it shouldn't be a problem because they are laying a lot of grass. I am really looking forward to racing there.”
