McLaren’s Martin Whitmarsh says he is excited by the unknowns the Indian Grand Prix could possibly throw up, with it being a brand new circuit and country for the sport.
Whitmarsh expects his outfit to be competitive, though the order among the top three will remain a surprise until Saturday as the teams get to grips with the new surface.
“I am expecting something exciting, I think we all are,” he is quoted as saying by Autosport. “It is a venue we have not been to, it is a country we have not visited on the grand prix calendar, so it is going to be interesting.
“I think we felt quite strong in Japan, we felt quite strong in Korea, but Red Bull did a good job. Hopefully it can swing our way in India, and that is what we are trying to do.
“I don’t know until we get there, until we see the surface and until we see what it is like,” he added. “There is no reason why we cannot be strong there, but I am sure Red Bull will be, I am sure Ferrari will be trying to beat us as well. I think that is the exciting challenge that we have looking forward to India.”
