Having finish qualifying for the 2012 Singapore Grand Prix in second position Williams F1's Pastor Maldonado is confident that he can turn things around a secure a good result in Sunday's race.

When questioned about his performance Pastor said that it was down to the team and he working hard and finding a good setup during qualifying.

Pastor said: "I think we were working very hard because at the beginning of the weekend and during the practice we were a bit lost with the set-up."

"We were improving, especially in qualifying, and just trying to adapt the car to my style and we find naturally a very well balanced [car], especially in Q2 and then Q3.

"I'm really looking forward to the race because yesterday we showed very good pace, very consistent. So I think is going to be a good one for us this time!"

As for whether he can secure the same result he did in Spain, where he also started from the front row Pastor added: "It is completely different to Barcelona because of lack of grip. We were struggling to put the car together but during qualifying we managed to find a good balance and really looking forward to tomorrow, yesterday we did a couple of long runs and it is looking good for us with tyre degradation.

"I think it is possible to overtake here especially because of tyre deg, I think everybody will be struggling with the tyres. But the strategy must be really good for everyone, you have to try to be consistent."
