According to Robert Kubica, the Sepang circuit will not play to the strengths of his Renault team.

Kubica, who drove brilliantly to finish second behind Jenson Button in Melbourne, says it will be difficult to predict what happens although he expects the circuit's demanding corners and adverse weather conditions to play a big factor.

"Again it's difficult to predict because we have only had two races," said Kubica. "I don't think it will be an ideal circuit for us, but on the other hand we discovered in Australia that the car performs better in warmer conditions and the heat in Malaysia might help us.

"It's a demanding track because there are lots of different corners and it's so wide that it gives you the confidence to really push and find the limits. Recently the high-speed corners haven't been too challenging, but I think they will be more demanding this year with the heavier fuel loads.

"There's also a high risk of rain storms, and with the race starting late on Sunday afternoon, we could have another wet race."
