"Overall, we need to get two cars to the finish, with two strong race performances. We've shown with Giancarlo that we can pick up points if they're available and stay with the other runners, and we have to make sure we do that in Turkey too."
Fisichella agrees that Saturday afternoon holds the key to
Force India's race performance, but remains upbeat about the team's general form.
"We are doing better than we expected at the moment as, apart from Australia, we have finished every race in the top twelve," the Italian pointed out, "We are still a young team, but everyone is getting more confident with every race and getting in the top ten in Spain was our best finishing position of the year so far.
"The car balance was good and our second stint in the race was particularly encouraging. We need to improve in qualifying now, as we had some problems with reduced grip and had to do two flying laps, which isn't ideal. We have spent a lot of time analysing why the performance drops from practice to qualifying, and I am hopeful we will not have the same problems again in Turkey.
"Of course, at the moment, the field is so close that one tenth of a second can mean the difference between Q2 and just missing out, so we have to make sure we are completely on top of the game."
