Rubens Barrichello, fresh from his disappointing first race for Honda Racing F1, arrives in Malaysia confident that he can start scoring points, and challenge for a top spot.

"My first race for the team was disappointing so I hope that Malaysia will be where my season really gets started," says Rubens. "The track is one of the best in terms of layout and I think it will suit our package well. There are also some good overtaking opportunities.

"Obviously it's one of the most physically demanding races because of the heat and humidity but we're well prepared for that," he continued.

"I think we will have a much better race here."
