Robert Kubica says the "car feels different, so that's a good sign"

Robert Kubica is feeling confident and more comfortable in his Williams after the first two sessions of the Chinese Grand Prix. He was faster than his teammate in both practise sessions and will hope that this relative pace continues going into the business end of the weekend. 

"The car feels a bit different to [the] last two weekends, so that's a good sign," he said to Autosport. "Now we have to see the data, what to do, as the balance is quite different to the previous two events.

"We just did some changes just to understand and it's not that we have some improvement. It's just something we changed in the characteristics of the car and it seems like it's responding differently.

"Of course on this track, you have quite a lot of understeer so understeer is kind of a killer here, so we have to wait and see.

"If we haven't done anything to turn it around in the last two months, there'll be nothing happening in 12 hours,"

Things seem a little more positive at Williams this weekend and they will hope that they can try and drag themselves off the bottom.
