Sepang, Malaysia: Saturday, April 9, 2011
Paul admitted he'd exceeded his own expectations following another blistering Formula One qualifying session. The 24-year-old Scot starts tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix from 14th on the grid, three places ahead of his more experienced Force India team-mate Adrian Sutil, after setting a best time of 1min 37.370secs
.
"I'm very pleased with my performance today. Everyone in the team worked hard and delivered a good job today, and I have to admit I think my fastest lap of the day was a very good one.
"There's no denying we all feel we got more out of that qualifying session than we'd originally thought would be possible and I think we have certainly closed the gap to the teams ahead of us.
"But tomorrow is going to be a long race, in tricky weather conditions — there's always the strong possibility of rain here which would mix things up a bit — but I'm certainly getting more excited now about our progress with regard to improving our performance in the future."Paul
