"It was the FIA's prerogative to schedule the track inspection for a date that would be suitable for them," said Chandhok. "This postponement in no way affects our preparations for the event."

Chandhok also commented on the possibility of the 2012 edition of the race being held in late April according to the proposed F1 calendar put forward by F1's commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone.

"Well, all I can say to that is that it will be really hot," he said. "I myself prefer colder temperatures, but while the temperatures will be high, at least it won't be humid like it is in Malaysia."
