Sepang International Circuit, Kuala Lumpur 

JENSON BUTTON, MP4-28A-05 I dont think we can really expect to qualify any better than P8 right now but, having said that, to be just two-tenths off the guy who won last weekends Australian Grand Prix [Kimi Raikkonen] in Q3 cant be too bad. Q3 was wet today, of course, but during Q1 and the first half of Q2 it appeared that perhaps were now a little more competitive in the dry than we were this time last weekend. Were still not quick, but the guys are doing a fantastic job to get everything they can out of our car.As for tomorrows race, well, when youve got a quick car, you never want it to rain. When youve got a less quick car, you do want it to rain. Today, though, we didnt have great pace on the Intermediates [tyres] in Q3, when it was raining, so all Ill say is that as always well battle hard and see what the race brings.SERGIO PEREZ, MP4-28A-06

Considering how our car was behaving at Albert Park just a week ago, I guess you could say that was an encouraging qualifying session.Jenson and I both got into Q3, which was a relief, but obviously we know weve still got a long way to go in terms of car development. Having said that, I can see how hard the team is working to improve our car, and its a really good feeling to be a part of that.It often rains in the late afternoon here in Sepang, so I guess tomorrows race may well be affected by wet conditions, given that its scheduled to start at 4.00pm.But I really enjoy racing on this circuit, and, whatever the weather, Ill give my best tomorrow for the best team in Formula 1.MARTIN WHITMARSH - Team principal, Vodafone McLaren MercedesBoth Jenson and Checo drove commendably solidly in qualifying here today, in tricky conditions in which it would have been all too easy for them to have made costly mistakes.In terms of car performance, while wed never be even remotely satisfied with P8 and P10, its fair to say that weve made a small amount of progress since last weekends Australian Grand Prix, so I want to say thank you to all the guys, both on the road and back home in Woking [Surrey, UK], for their sterling efforts in that respect.Just as important, though, weve continued to gather useful data, which well now number-crunch intensively with a view to continuing our evolution of MP4-28.Theres still a long way to go, because as I say were not yet even close to where we want and need to be in terms of car performance, but its probably fair to state that, although the gains weve made have been small so far, the development trend appears to be in the right direction.
