After a difficult opening round of the 2007 championship, ING Renault F1 Team will have to show real fighting spirit this weekend during the second race of the season in Sepang. The Malaysian circuit will present the teams with hot, humid conditions that will put the cars and the team to the test. Last week, the team completed four important days of testing prior to the race, in order to fine-tune the set-up of the R27 in representative conditions - and ensure the team gets the maximum out of the package.

The target: stronger performance
Giancarlo approaches the forthcoming race in confident mood, after winning at the track in 2006. As for Heikki, he is looking to put his difficult first race behind him, and after three days of testing last week, he has learned the circuit and is acclimatised to the high temperatures. The ING Renault F1 Team's race drivers are both ready to attack!
