Nico & Kazuki on Abu Dhabi

Posted on Friday 30 Oct 2009 and tagged with abu-dhabi.

Following their first outing on the all new Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi, our drivers had this to say about the track:

Nico Rosberg
"Having just completed 27 laps of the Yas Marina circuit, my view is that it is a cool track, it's going to be good to race on and from a driver's perspective, it sure is fun. The pitlane exit has been talked about a lot, my verdict for the moment is it is pretty exciting! Obviously as the track surface is completely new, it was quite dirty, so you have to be a little careful to find your way to begin with. It will be interesting to see how the track changes with the cooler temperatures which we will get a chance to see this afternoon - obviously this will be more reflective of the conditions we will encounter for qualifying and the race. "

Kazuki Nakajima
"I think the circuit is pretty tricky and potentially quite difficult with the number of slow speed corners and some off-camber sections in the middle of the corners. I haven't pushed really hard through the narrow pitlane exit just yet, but because it is covered under the tunnel, it is a completely unique experience unlike anywhere else in the world."
