Pirelli's Paul Hembery has said that the unknown track surface will add a new challenge to the Malaysia Grand Prix this weekend.
Often one of the most demanding races for both drivers and cars due to the intense weather conditions,, this year the track has been resurfaced and many of the turns reprofiled, leading many to liken it to a whole new circuit.
"In terms of extreme conditions that provide a real test for the tyres, Malaysia is right up there with anything else we see all year," Hembery said. "That’s because of the extremely high temperatures as well as the high energy loadings through the fast corners."
"The big unknown for this year is the track surface, which is completely new," he added. "The weather can also change in an instant, turning the track into a monsoon. As a result of all that, Sepang tends to be quite a varied weekend where track evolution is hard to follow."
