Пол Хембри:
As is often the case, we had an eventful qualifying in Malaysia that was interrupted by rain. The whole weekend is of course a big challenge, with hot temperatures pushing the medium compound in particular, and some proper wet running for the first time all year. The intermediate tyre was used for a handful of laps during pre-season testing, but we’ve obviously seen nothing like this quantity of water so far this year, and it was the very first time that the 2015 full wet tyres were run. The intermediate tyre performed particularly well, with an exciting end to the session. This year’s race is set to be quite different to last year’s as the race start is one hour earlier, which should lead to higher track temperatures than we have seen before. Because of that, a three-stop strategy looks set to be the best option, with a wide variety of possibilities.
