Bruno Senna wants to continue the momentum that he has built up through two points-scoring finishes with another good result in Bahrain.

After a disappointing opening weekend in Australia, Senna has bounced back with sixth place in Malaysia and seventh last weekend in China. As a result Senna finds himself in the top ten of the drivers' championship at this early stage of the season, and he said that while he was unsure how the car would perform in Bahrain he was focused on extending his good form.

"Bahrain is a challenging track with a number of long straights followed by big braking areas so the car has to be set up differently to many other circuits," Senna said. "Cars with a big DRS effect will have an advantage so it will be interesting to see how teams will perform. We have good momentum from the first three races of the season and hopefully we can carry that into this race."

Senna's team-mate Pastor Maldonado is equally keen to build on his last result having scored points in China.

"I like the circuit layout, and it should suit our car because of the hot conditions," Maldonado said. "It is also a challenging circuit for tyre degradation so we need to prepare for that. It was satisfying to score my first points of the season in China and hopefully I can pick up some more points in Bahrain."
