Pastor Maldonado \u2013 15th and 16th:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a bit difficult this morning with the track conditions. We need to improve our setup for qualifying, and I will work on it with my engineers during the evening. We will make some changes overnight, but the car seems stronger in race mode. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Bruno Senna \u2013 Non-participation and 18th:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a productive second free practice session for us. I don’t know the circuit particularly well, so I’m on an upward learning curve, but I’m learning all the time and we will have some improvements tomorrow to help me go faster. \u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00ab The track conditions were very tricky today. I have never driven in the rain or on a wet track with a Formula One car, so it was a new experience for me.
