"The desert race. Another hot circuit, like Malaysia, but this is a very dry type of heat. The crucial part of the circuit is turn 10. Breaking for that corner is really tricky. This circuit is all about having confidence in the tyres, because it is so hot. You’ve got to push but you’ve also got to look after your car.
It’s short shifting, lifting/coasting where you can. But you’ve got to enjoy it at the same time.".
