Sergio Perez says Force India's performance in Melbourne has given him a "good feeling" about the team's chances for the upcoming back-to-back races in China and Bahrain.
Despite an underwhelming winter for the team Perez and teammate Esteban Ocon finished seventh and tenth at the Australian Grand Prix. Though he knows there is still work to do Perez thinks the opening race of the season provides a good foundation for Force India in the remaining fly-away races.
"Our seventh place finish in Melbourne was very satisfying," Perez said. "We beat some cars that had better pace because we made the right decisions with the strategy.
