"It's always best to put a disappointing weekend behind you, and, as always, I'll make a positive of the experience in Malaysia and learn from it. With China only a few days away, it's the best possible way to move on: I'm already throwing myself into my preparations - I'll spend a few days training and come back feeling fresh for Shanghai.
"What's been most encouraging is that our pace is still extremely strong: Jenson drove a fantastic race and was able to narrow the gap to Sebastian during the closing laps, and I think we have the pace to continue taking the battle to Red Bull this weekend.
"In both races, we've seen that Red Bull hasn't been able to achieve its full potential, and I think it's important that we keep applying the pressure to make sure they can't afford to make mistakes.
"I've also been told by someone on the team that, of all the drivers in Formula 1 to have only driven for one team, I'm now the driver who's raced in the most grands prix. I'm told that Jim Clark drove 72 races for Lotus, and Malaysia was my 73rd race with Vodafone McLaren Mercedes.
"And it also makes me feel very humble - I never saw Jim Clark race, but I know that he'll always be remembered as one of the greats, and as a loyal Lotus driver. Loyalty's extremely important and I'm proud to be mentioned in the same breath as him.
"It only gives me even more determination to bounce back stronger than ever."

"Coming just a week after Malaysia, it's essential that we maintain the thrust of our development programme in order to further close the gap to the front.
"To achieve that, we'll be spending Friday evaluating a number of new components alongside our regular tyre and set-up programmes. We have a number of new parts that we want to evaluate on Friday - either for potential incorporation into our programme for the Shanghai race, or as part of longer-term development strategy.
"The development race is where this year's world championship will be won or lost.
"But, equally, we ought to take nothing for granted: I'm extremely pleased that we've managed to achieve 100 per cent reliability in both Australia and Malaysia, and that our KERS Hybrid system, engineered so well by everyone at Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEngines, has worked faultlessly during the first two grands prix.
"For this race, we know we have to step up the pressure: we're looking to hit the ground running on Friday, maintain that momentum through Saturday, and be in with the best possible chance of taking victory on Sunday."
