Pastor Maldonado suffered several off-track excursions during the day's two sessions. The Venezuelan remains optimistic as he knows the circuit from having raced there in GP2 in the past. Rubens Barrichello once again faced issues with the KERS system, which cost him track time. Nonetheless, both drivers highlight the progress made thanks to the new package brought by the team and hope to achieve a good result.
