The sixteenth race of the 2013 Formula One World Championship will take place on Sunday, October 27, at the Buddh International Circuit near the city of New Delhi.
Nico Rosberg: “I’m looking forward to our trip to India. It really is a fascinating country and there is always something new to see or experience when you are there for the race weekend. The track itself is pretty challenging and there are good overtaking opportunities at the end of the long straight so the race should hopefully be quite exciting. The Indian fans are very passionate and increasingly knowledgeable about our sport and I hope they will enjoy the experience and provide some good support for our team. The last few races haven’t been the best for us so I am hoping for a good weekend. We are all determined to finish the season strongly and to continue our challenge for second place in the Constructors’ Championship.”
Lewis Hamilton: “I have really enjoyed our two visits to India so far. It’s such a vibrant country and the support that we’ve received from the fans there has been fantastic. They love sport and the knowledge that some of the fans that I’ve met have had about Formula One has been great to see. I really hope that we can see the country take Formula One to heart in the future. I also really like the Buddh International Circuit. The layout has a great rhythm and I love the fast turns and high speeds. We’re hoping for a strong weekend after a couple of difficult races and I know that everyone has been working really hard to make sure that we can get all of the performance possible from the car over the last four races. We know that we have a good car and, if we can put together a good race weekend, then we have the potential for some great results before the season is over.”
The Buddh circuit has some of the most demanding corners in the Formula 1 championship, with seven of the total 16 seeing lateral loadings in excess of 3.5G. In the two Indian Grand Prix that took place so far Sebastian Vettel was unbeaten, since he qualified on pole and won both races after leading each and every single one of the 120 racing laps.
