Virgin Racing has no reference points for Bahrain, but they are up to it

The new Virgin Racing team will make their debut at Bahrain next Sunday and their main priority is to finish the race. A good performance is their second priority, but the team has no data to prepare for the first race at Bahrain because it will be their first race.

Lucas di Grassi has never raced in F1 and will make his debut with the new team. "Of course to finish the race is the biggest priority. Then, with a good performance. We will be able to do so and I'm not worried at all. This will come as a result of our work, especially during these days at Barcelona," he said.

"Performance in Bahrain will be a different issue; Bahrain is a track that consumes a lot of brakes, the set-up is very different from here so we have no data to predict how it is going to be. It's going to be difficult for us, but the team is up to it, that is for sure," he said.
