HRT are determined to "strike back" after experiencing some difficulties in the last few races.

For all the latest F1 odds on the next race at the Korean International Circuit visit Sky Bet.

Vitantonio Liuzzi: "For Korea we need to strike back a bit after encountering a couple of complicated races. We have to understand all the issues we had in Suzuka and try to put up a better fight with our main rivals. We still have four races to go and we have to keep on fighting. I finished 6th last year in Korea so I've got good memories and I like the circuit quite a bit. Traction is a really important factor in Korea which is an area we've been struggling with, so hopefully we can have a trouble-free Friday and Saturday so that we can understand the set-up better. It won't be an easy end to the season but we have to keep our chins up".

Daniel Ricciardo: "Korea will be another new circuit for me so that is something I'm looking forward to, another new challenge. Speaking to some of the drivers who raced there last year they told me that it is quite a good circuit so I'm sure I will like the track. After the qualifying session in Suzuka, my race engineer felt that we should have done more and we did so, personally, I feel we found something in Japan that we can put into next weekend. So I am hoping for a better weekend in Korea".

Colin Kolles - team principal: "Last year the Korean Grand Prix was an unconventional one but hopefully this second event will go a lot smoother. The characteristics of the track, featuring the longest straight of the championship and its slow corners, won't suit our car much but we are hard workers and we will do our best to put in a fight. Daniel took a step forward in his F1 learning process in Japan and Korea, another track that he has never been at, will mean another challenge for him. And Tonio will be willing to put the Japanese GP behind and have a fruitful weekend. Like in Japan, Narain will be driving in FP1 instead of Tonio and he may be able to contribute to the team towards a positive result".
