Virgin Racing Team Principal Alex Tai feels that his team needs to make another step forward in the two month break until Miami.

Virgin Racing are currently 11 points off championship leaders E.Dams and Alex Tai believes that Virgin needs to make some progress in order to catch up the French team.

“As a team, we were in a great position, but we now have time before the next ePrix in Miami to work hard and keep on improving as we have shown at each race in the Championship so far.” said Tai

Virgin Racing were able to make the improvements needed in the 70 day period from the first race in Beijing to Putrajaya, which saw Sam Bird take the chequered flag.

The British driver was satisfied with his seventh place finish, after having to take a drive through penalty for ignoring the red light at the end of the pit-lane.

“There are some positives to take from the race, however, as despite finishing in seventh we recorded the fastest lap of the race so at least we demonstrated our speed potential.” said Sam Bird
