Jerome, this is quite a challenging circuit but at least you have some experience of it.
Jerome d'Ambrosio: Yeah, definitely. It is a challenging circuit. For me it is probably I'd say as nice as Spa, which, being a Belgian comparing it to Spa… For me, it is even a bit better than Spa. It is something exceptional to drive around here. I enjoyed doing so last year, about 15 laps in Friday Free Practice, so should be very good and cannot wait to be in the car.

Just give us some idea of your future with the team. Where are you in terms of discussions for next year?
JdA: Well, at the moment it is really the same as I said in Spa. There are obviously talks going on and management speaking with the team, speaking for my future about next year in Formula One. Now my job is to focus on the current season. There are still five grands prix to go. I think I had my best grand prix so far in Singapore and throughout these races I need to focus on the present and not what will happen next year. I'll keep busy and working on what I do in the car and I'll let the management sort out the rest.

But you were pleased with the Singapore race anyway?
JdA: Definitely, yes.

Paul, similar situation in a funny sort of way, except you haven't driven the circuit I don't think?
Paul di Resta: No, it is obviously the first experience being here and seeing this track. It looks very special. Having walked it this morning it is obviously very narrow but very fast. I have done what I can in the simulator to try to prepare myself. I think the main thing is hopefully the weather should be stable and we can continue progressing through the weekend.

Some really good performances in the last few races. Do you believe that they can continue?
PdR: Yeah, I don't see why not. Certainly the last four grands prix have been very good for us as a team. I think Singapore, definitely on pace, we got the result that we [deserved]. Really coming here we need to try and focus on doing the same job. We have a small update here as well. Hopefully, we can continue and just really stay where we are and certainly put a fight up with Renault as they are within sights for the Constructors' Championship.

Does that make it more difficult not knowing this particular circuit, with it being a technical circuit?
PdR: It is definitely not easier. But it has been like a lot of the tracks this year. I think I have only raced on Spa before we had gone to any grand prix this year, so really just trying to take it step-by-step. I am in the car for both sessions, which is important tomorrow, and really [I will] just try to reference myself as much as possible off Adrian [Sutil] who has done quite a lot here in the past having done Japanese Formula Three here for a year.

So he will help out with settings?
PdR: Yeah, he has shown to be very strong here in the past so you can only really look and hopefully get a feeling quicker than normal.

Heikki, again it is a good circuit for you. You've had some good results here both in qualifying and the race. And very pleased with the Singapore performance as well, so what are your hopes for here?
Heikki Kovalainen: Hopefully, we can do another solid race. Obviously, we are defending the 10th position in the championship. For the team that is very important, so that's our primary goal and, of course myself, trying to stay ahead of the new cars at the back if you like. So far the season has been very positive for me so just carrying on doing that trend.

Is that the most important thing or is the more important thing to get in among the established teams ahead, which you managed to do in Singapore?
HK: Well, ultimately the most important thing is to beat Sebastian Vettel, but you have got to be realistic. For myself the gap to the car ahead of us at most of the circuits is still too big so we need to work on our car to make it quicker. At the moment the best we can do, and the best we can realistically hope for, is to be ahead of them and maintain the 10th in the championship and then look forward to the future. Singapore, unusual race, circumstances worked well for us so we were able to beat one Renault. If that happens again this weekend: why not. But it might not be realistic.

And still bringing the car forward as well technically?
HK: The update that we brought to Singapore I think was working. It was successful, so we closed the gap slightly and at least we didn't lose out to any other teams, which is encouraging. We are working on next year's car to improve overall performance so that's a work in progress and just keep the heads down and keep working.
