Force India believes in it

Adrian Sutil, best time in free practice, is smiling. The driver, who has already distinguished himself several times this season, scored a nice blow by dominating the field on Friday afternoon. “ Everything went well today, confides the German pilot. The car worked perfectly and we can be very satisfied with the result. I had a very, very good time which came after good work. We weren't specifically looking to be the fastest but if you're at the top and the car is working well, there's no reason not to want to be the best at the end of the session. It was a very productive day on a very cold track and it's good to have fun at the moment. »

For his part, Viantantonio Liuzzi had a very honest day, for his return to competition. Giancarlo Fisichella's replacement is satisfied with the work done and especially being able to complete laps on a circuit at the wheel of a car competitive. “ It was much better than the straight line tests! It's a completely different approach but you get used to the pace, the braking points, which is a big challenge. Everything is going in the right direction. For the moment I'm not attacking because I want to get used to the tires. Tomorrow we will work on the lap time for qualifying. We knew we would have a competitive car and I felt the balance was good. There is still at least half a second to gain, due to traffic on some of my best laps. It's just the start of the weekend but I'm really happy with how it went. The car responds very well and we are optimistic for tomorrow. »
