Force India picks up extra point
Force India has achieved a double points finish in the Belgian Grand Prix, with the Toro Rosso of Jaime Alguersuari having received a 20-second penalty and therefore lost its tenth position in favour of Vitantonio Liuzzi.
With Liuzzi having piled the pressure on the Spaniard in the closing stages, the Italian was not able to overtake although he now moves up the order as the Barcelona man is punished for cutting the Bus Stop Chicane three laps from home.
“I'm really pleased to be back in the points again this race, for the first time since Canada,” said Tonio.
“We've always been pushing really hard, so to get a point here and to make it a double points-scoring finish for the team, is a really good reward for all the hard work we've done over the past few weeks.”
“Another fifth place, so I am very pleased as I started in P8,” team-mate Adrian Sutil added. “I think that was the best we could do. It was very tricky conditions out there and you never knew what would happen with the weather.
“The upgrades worked well and we can still improve - it was just the start of the development, which looks good for the next race in Monza as well.”
