F1 » Force India: Points still possible this year

I do agree that the Force India Cars are getting better and better with each race and they have two good drivers in Fisichella and Sutil who have impressed but have not had the breaks this season, but I do believe that their best opportuntity for points is in the wet as they have very good wet weather pace as demonstrated by Sutil at Monaco and I do believe that they will score points next season, but I am sure that they will score points this season.

That sound right at first but could it work out?
With today F1, everything is amost planned even before anybody gives it any tought.
The tire are made to operate into sauch a small window that going very very wild with strategy is close to impossible, and that is not acounting for all those other spec that more or less dictate the "theorical best" strategy.

I think privateer teams need to take more unorthodox risks. What chances do any of the privateer teams have if they don't have a Vettel as their driver? I think every race they should think of something completely out of the ordinary and give it a go. The commentators would talk about them more and there would be an off chance they could compete for the win, or podium or at least some points. The way I see it is if the non competing teams keep doing the same tactics race in and race out, they'll keep finishing out of the points. But if they constantly try new things the WORST they could do is finish out of the points.

Yoy can never say 100% that Force will not get a point this year. Absolutely anything can happen, but lets face it, it's HIGHLY unlikely.
On another note, I really do think that Hondas results are so bad because they have given up on 2008 and are putting their resources behind the 2009 car in a bid to be in with a shout of some real pace for next year. Fingers crossed eh.
Would be so good for F1 to see more teams pushing for wins and the possibility that five, six, seven or even eight drivers could potentially be the winner of any given weekend.
OH YES.............BLISS!!!

Thank you, Sunny, it's nice to feel welcome!

its good to read some excellent common sense for a change.

It takes money spent well to place in F1 and Force India doesn''t come up to snuff. Rain may be the great equalizer, witness one A Senna in a TolemanHart catching Prost furiously at that Monte Carlo GP, but Force India doesn''t have a Senna. Carpe Diem, Force India!

Would really like to see them get a point finish indeed.
But i rekon that if i wait for that to be happy, i will most likely end up disapointed...
Yet, as have been said, Fisicho can do the job if all the elements can falls in places for him. As for Suttil, don't really know him from his past and can't say he impressed much this year, but maybe he got what it takes nevertheless.

they can score points only if they get their strategy right, i think they have good race pace, and they lack the pace over one lap... but since it's hard to overtake cars... they must try to run their car in free air as much as possible... maybe like doing a very early 1st pit stop or a three stopper.. take more risk in term tyre choice in wet races.. prolly if sutil had started the race with standard wets in monza .. he could have been up there in points......

yes, it is possible. fisi is no slouch and sutil has shown flashes of his ability. one points result could motivate the team. and remember, they have a ferrari engine!
