13 April 2012 Press conferences

FIA Friday press conference - Chinese GP, Shanghai

Team representatives: Matt Morris (Sauber), Antonio Cuquerella (HRT), Dave Greenwood (Marussia), James Allison (Lotus), Paddy Lowe (McLaren), Pat Fry (Ferrari).

Q: A question to you all. If you’d like to give a swift appraisal of where you feel you are in the pecking order after two Grands Prix, and what you think the potential is, where you think you can be?

Matt Morris: I think it’s very difficult to tell. I think there are five or six teams that are all very close, and I think we’re one of those teams, but exactly where we stand, we probably need another couple of races.
