Just one week after the German Grand Prix, the Force India F1 Team will be back in action, this time at the Hungarian Grand Prix held at the tight, twisty Hungaroring on the outskirts of the capital city Budapest.
After missing out on points for only the second time this season at the last race, Force India will be looking to regain its momentum and edge its points tally higher in Hungary as chairman and team principal, Dr Vijay Mallya, explains....
“Germany was very disappointing for the team but I see it as a blip rather than anything more significant. It started very well, of course, with Adrian P1 in FP1, but after that we didn't get to grips with the track and one issue led directly into the next. Fortunately it was only the second time this year we have missed out on the points and - more importantly - we did not lose any ground to our main rivals so we got off lightly, all things considered.”
“However this clearly cannot happen again as the race for fifth and sixth in the championship is closer than ever now and we need to finish with at least one car in the points at each race from now on.We can however be confident that we have enough strength in current performance and the new developments coming."
"On Friday we will test the blown diffuser, which we believe will give us a big step forward. We will analyse the findings and any data will be fed back into the programme for the second half of the year. Similarly, we have some new developments on the front of the floor.”
“This year we have a much more balanced car over all types of tracks and, while we would look forward to Spa and Monza as high speed tracks that should suit us better, I think we will hold our own in Hungary.” |
