Malaysia Friday quotes: Pirelli

Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery: "Everybody has faced extremely tough conditions during the first day of running in Malaysia. Luckily our tyres have performed faultlessly so far, but of course the real work lies ahead of us as the drivers put their cars into qualifying and race trim. "Today, the drivers tried out the evolution of our hard tyres and their response was generally favourable, although we need to be careful that we don't end up with tyres that are too conservative.
