Nakano still struggling for grip

20 October 2007 / Results / Photos

Konica Minolta rider Shinya Nakano qualified himself in 14th position for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix. The Japanese rider was reasonably happy with his result but said he is still struggling with the new track surface at Sepang.

"No rain today but we and everyone else are still struggling with this new track surface," Nakano said after the qualifying session. "In the afternoon we improved a little with suspension settings, but we're still looking for quicker turning into the corners and overall a better feeling from the front of the bike. At the moment I cannot keep my corner speed up, or keep a decent speed when entering the corner. Tomorrow morning we will try and find a better setting in warm-up. We will keep hoping for the best and never give-up as the race is long and the conditions still could be changeable."
