Both the Brit and the Spaniard are looking to mount a title challenge despite neither of them coming away from Qatar with any points. With less than two weeks to go before they return to competition, Fernandez and Lowes share their opinions and views on the unique challenge they are about to face. “I think in a positive way, so if you have done well the previous weekend it is perfect because you start with a good feeling again in the same place.” “I think that the second weekend on the same circuit means there will be increased competition.”
