Paul Hui, Team Director
“Very happy that the team resolved a couple minor technical issues that hurt us during the last two races. But this is the reality of trying to develop a new race car within such a short time frame without clear definition of the regulation and I am sure we are not the only team that is going through this process. So it is really up to which team has the best capability to get this under control sooner. I hope FASC can make a clear determination on the 2014 regulation as early as possible.”
