Points have got to be the aim says Sutil

This weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix will be the first race of a quintet of flyaway races that will bring the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship to an end and with the drivers' title hunt still alive and the constructors' championship more competitive than ever before, Singapore is poised to bring an exciting twist to the series' conclusion.

After failing to secure a good result in Italy just over a week ago, the Force India team is looking to secure some good results this weekend as they continue their fight to stay ahead of the Cosworth powered Williams team in the constructor’s championship.

For Adrian Sutil, the challenges that he will face at the one and only night event on the schedule will be tough, especially as he has never really had a good result here in the past, but he is more than ready to face them and change the statistics this coming weekend.

“Singapore is a real street circuit, like a cross between Valencia and Monaco. Some parts are very safe with plenty of run off - particularly in turn 1, 2 and 3 - but there are a lot of corners so it's challenging to drive,” he said.

“As everyone knows, we'll be racing at night so the whole approach is different - we'll be sleeping during the day and racing at night. In the last two years it hasn't been a problem and this year it should be easier as you learn more about the technique every time you go. Racing under the lights is also absolutely fine. Last year they were very bright so although it felt like you were driving at night it was very clear to see.”

“Points have got to be the aim this time. Williams had a great event in Italy and really closed the gap to us, so we need as many points as we can. There are only a couple of overtaking places so qualifying is crucial and we'll be looking to get the whole package right from practice so we can optimise our position for the start. We've shown we have a car that's capable of getting into the top ten - we were only a few hundredths from Q3 in Monza - but we have to really nail it this time to give ourselves the best chance of points."

“For the first time since Hungary we'll be running in high downforce configuration and we have some aero upgrades and bodywork updates we'll introduce specifically for the demands of the Singapore track. I'm really looking forward to it - we had a great race in Monaco and in Hungary we would have been in the points were it not for the accident in the pitlane. Singapore's not been the luckiest race for me in the past but this is my best chance to put that right.”
