GETTING TO GRIPS WITH YEONGAM
Yeongam, Korea: Friday, October 14, 2011
Paul splashed his way to 10th fastest after two sessions of wet practice ahead of this weekend's Korea Grand Prix. It was Paul's first outing at the Yeongam circuit, and he was pleased with his familiarisation outings and his fastest lap of 1min 53.957secs.
“Today was my first experience of the circuit so I just had to make the best of things in the wet conditions. It’s not the ideal way to learn a circuit, but the team allowed me to do as many laps as possible and I gradually built up my confidence.
"The track was really wet in the morning and there was a bit of aquaplaning, especially through turns seven and eight, where the car was moving around a lot.
"The car felt okay running on the intermediates in the afternoon and there was a dry line appearing in the last 30 minutes, but the surface still felt very greasy.
"Like a few of the cars we went out on the super-softs right at the end of the day, but it was very difficult to keep the temperature in the tyres and you couldn’t learn much.
"The weather looks set to improve tomorrow so we’ve plenty of work to do in final practice to get on top of the dry tyres and be fully up to speed for qualifying.”
