Sebastian Vettel believes that the track characteristics at Sepang means that he can produce a good performance at Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.
In wet conditions, Vettel was able to split the Mercedes duo of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg to secure a start from the front row of the grid.
Vettel is now expecting to earn a strong result for Ferrari.
He told reporters: "For sure the result puts us in a good position for tomorrow. I think the target for Sunday is to extract the best race we can, and then we go from there.
"The nature of the track suits our car well, I expect nothing else than to be very strong tomorrow, but you never know about the conditions in Sepang. There is rain in the air that can hit you at the right time, but also make go all wrong, you just never know.
"Let's keep our feet on the ground, in the end we have to look after ourselves. Mercedes is very strong and has an advantage, but it would be nice to give them a hard time tomorrow, it has been a bit too chilled for them in the last months".
Vettel picked up a podium finish in his first race for Ferrari at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
