After the very fast Silverstone circuit, Force India will confront its VJM08 version B at the tortuous route of the Hungaroring this weekend. The Indo-British team had obtained an encouraging first result at “home” in Great Britain with seventh place for Nico Hulkenberg and the ninth for Sergio Pérez.

The German driver knows that the new iteration of the car can offer even more and hopes to repeat its performances in Hungary. “We need to continue to push in this direction and find even more performance with the car, admits the winner of 24 Hours of Le Mans with Porsche in June. I think we can be competitive this weekend. Low and medium speed corners should suit us and the tires are a little softer than at Silverstone, which should help us. »

We had the pleasure of working with Jules in 2012 and he left an excellent impression on the team. »
