Formula 1 » Mallya: Force India not here to make up numbers.

Tuesday, 1st April 2008

Will it be third time lucky for Fisichella in the desert kingdom as Force India unveil new aerodynamic developments to help its bid to break into Q2..?

Comment on this Story
“As part of our aerodynamic programme, we will have several new aerodynamic parts on the front wing and new brake ducts in Bahrain, which should bring a further performance increase,” added Gascoyne. “We have also analysed the reasons for Giancarlo's poor start in Malaysia, which was due to a clutch problem. Hopefully this shouldn't happen again as, although he drove fantastically well thereafter, it compromised his race from the outset. We are also analysing the reason for Adrian's retirement and are confident we will not have a re-occurrence of the same problem.

“As we showed in the race in Malaysia, we now have a car that can race competitively and, looking at the data from the first two races, it is clear that we have made a big step forward from last season's performance. The most significant reason for this improvement has been aerodynamic, as we have made large gains with our own tunnel coming on-stream coupled with the continuing use of the Aerolab facility. Now we are really starting to see the results. We were very close to getting into Q2 [in Sepang], and hopefully this new step will allow us to get there in Bahrain.”
