Force India pilots Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi look forward to this weekend’s British Grand Prix with optimism as the pair prepare to race with more new car parts. With the team factory based just several hundred metres from Silverstone’s main access gate, modified components will be able to enter the track during the weekend.
The majority of teams will introduce brand-new parts this weekend, not least debutants Lotus and Virgin Racing as well as Williams with its blown diffuser, although Sutil and Liuzzi – double top ten finishers in Monaco and Canada – are quietly confident.
“We have some new developments, I would say a very similar step to Valencia, around the front wing and floor,” the German began. “As we saw last year, every update we put on - whether large or small - does move us forward, so I think it will put us in a similar position to Valencia - top ten, higher if we can.
“We've also got the SRW (Switchable Rear Wing or f-duct) working really well now, too, so the combination of the new parts and the extra top speed makes me feel quite confident going into this race.
“Some teams, including Renault, took big updates to Valencia, but I don't think this is cause for concern as we held our own and we could have been in the points with both cars if we hadn't had the qualifying session we had,” his Italian team-mate added.
“Also, I am confident in what we have coming ourselves. We have some solid updates for the British Grand Prix which will give us extra downforce in high-speed corners, which is crucial at that track.”
